G.I. Combat #142

DC's long-running war anthology reaches issue #142 with a cover by Joe Kubert that pulses with battlefield urgency — a battle-hardened soldier draped in ammunition belts stands defiantly over fallen comrades scattered among spent brass, while the Haunted Tank rumbles into position behind him. The cover blurb warns that the Haunted Tank "arrives too late at Checkpoint Death," setting a tense, desperate tone that Kubert renders with his characteristically gritty, expressive linework. Inside, Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath bring "Checkpoint — Death!" to life, promising the kind of grounded, human-scale combat storytelling that made G.I. Combat one of 1970's most compelling war titles.
