G.I. Combat #163

The Haunted Tank rolls front and center on Ken Barr's striking cover for this August 1973 installment of DC's long-running war anthology, where a desperate soldier clutches a lit Molotov cocktail and throws up his hand in warning — speech bubbles crying "Hold your fire!! That's not the enemy—" and "It's Gus!" capturing a tense moment of near-friendly-fire catastrophe. Inside, writer Archie Goodwin and artist Sam Glanzman bring their considerable talents to "A Crew Divided!," promising the kind of gritty, character-driven armored warfare drama this series does so well. At just 20 cents, it's a vivid snapshot of early-'70s DC war comics firing on all cylinders.
