G.I. Combat #158

DC's long-running war anthology kicks off 1973 with this tense installment subtitled "What Price War?" — and the cover by John Severin captures the drama with gritty energy. Three soldiers in tanker gear are caught in a chaotic firefight, with one — identified as Rick — raising a fist and shouting "Yeah? Just watch me, Jeb!" while his crewmates plead that he can't leave them trapped, all against the backdrop of the Haunted Tank rolling through smoke and explosions. Robert Kanigher and Sam Glanzman bring their well-honed instincts for ground-level combat storytelling to the interior, promising the kind of grounded, human-scale war drama this series does so well.
