G.I. Combat #187

A fallen soldier draped in an American flag lies at the center of this striking 1976 cover, while a grief-stricken crewman kneels over him and a shaken GI looks on — all in the shadow of the Haunted Tank as Nazi flags loom in the background. The speech bubble — "Jeb died… to save us… so the Germans would never find us!" — sets a tone of sacrifice and quiet anguish that sets this issue apart from more action-driven war comics. Joe Kubert's cover art brings real emotional weight to G.I. Combat #187, anchoring the anthology's Haunted Tank feature with a moment that feels genuinely human amid the battlefield chaos.
