G.I. Combat #126

DC's long-running war anthology delivers a vivid cover showdown in this 1967 issue, with Russ Heath's artwork capturing a green Allied tank under ferocious aerial assault — rockets streaking down from a yellow enemy fighter plane as a lone soldier braces atop the hull against the fiery barrage. The cover copy poses the urgent question: could the Haunted Tank battle the "rain of flaming death from the skies?" Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath bring their considerable talents to "Tank Umbrella!," promising the kind of gritty, ground-vs.-air tension that made G.I. Combat one of DC's most compelling war titles of the era.
