G.I. Combat #159

Joe Kubert's cover for G.I. Combat #159 pulls no punches: two battered, ragged soldiers — one clutching a wounded arm — confront an imposing figure looming over them in the foreground, demanding to know why they were sent on a "suicide mission!" Behind them, tanks roll through a hellish, smoke-filled battlefield. Featuring the "new Haunted Tank" banner and the story "Mission: Dead End!", this 1973 DC war title delivers the kind of raw, morally charged tension that made the series a standout on the spinner rack.
