G.I. Combat #216

Joe Kubert's cover for this November 1979 issue puts the Haunted Tank front and center, its massive green hull surging forward as crew members brace against the chaos of a fiery battlefield explosion behind them. Promising six savage battle stories, the issue spotlights the Haunted Tank in "Ghost Squadron" alongside a packed roster of tales — "The Rookie Spy," "Fugitive from Stalag XIV," "The Front Is Where You Stand," "A Foxhole Is a Coffin," and "The Shell That Won the War" — each teased in vivid inset panels along the right side of the cover. DC's Big War Book was delivering serious bang for a dollar in 1979, and this installment looks like a worthy addition to the series.
