G.I. Combat #177

The Haunted Tank goes down fighting on Joe Kubert's gripping cover for this April 1975 issue — a commander shouts "Abandon Ship!" from the turret hatch as the tank sinks beneath churning waters, while a defiant reply echoes back: "Not while we can still fire!" Explosions light up a rocky coastline in the background, capturing the desperate, against-all-odds spirit that made G.I. Combat a standout in DC's war comics line. With Bob Haney writing and Sam Glanzman on art inside, "The Tank That Missed D-Day" promises exactly the kind of gritty, armored action that fans of the series came to expect.
