G.I. Combat #131

The cover by Joe Kubert and Russ Heath sets up a tense trap perfectly: a U.S. tank bearing the Allied white star sits surrounded by enemy soldiers in blue uniforms and grey helmets, one of them calling out "Step out, guys… it's all clear!" — a deception that practically leaps off the page. With Robert Kanigher writing and Russ Heath illustrating the interior, this September 1968 issue of G.I. Combat promises the kind of gritty, suspense-driven war storytelling the title did so well. "The Devil for Dinner!" is a tantalizing title that perfectly matches the ambush unfolding right there on the cover.
