"Rebel Tank" kicks off with a tense clash of personalities when a fiery new commander, a jingoistic southerner, takes issue with a fellow soldier named Jeb Stuart sharing the name of a Confederate general. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated with gritty precision by Russ Heath, the story follows Jeb and his crew as they're sidelined on menial tasks—until their unit is ambushed and they must come to the major's rescue. The cover by Joe Kubert captures the moment with stark intensity, setting the tone for a gripping wartime tale.
