G.I. Combat #172

From 1974, this DC war anthology puts the Haunted Tank front and center — literally looming over the battlefield as a wounded soldier is dragged desperately across churned earth, the urgent command "FORWARD!" hanging in the smoky air. Russ Heath's cover work captures that raw, ground-level intensity that made G.I. Combat essential reading, with gritty linework that pulls you right into the chaos. Inside, Archie Goodwin and Sam Glanzman bring the story "At the Mercy of My Foes!" — solid creative credentials for any fan of World War II comics done with craft and conviction.
