G.I. Combat #217

G.I. Combat #217 is a jam-packed dollar comic — "3 Battle Books in 1" — delivering a full slate of WWII action headlined by "The General Died Twice!" The cover, penciled and inked by Joe Kubert, puts a desperate American soldier and a Red Cross nurse center-stage, rockets flaring around them as they scramble for survival, while inset panels preview three more tales: "3,000-Mile Nightmare," "A Fine Day for Hanging," and "The Pigeon Spies." With stories by Robert Kanigher and art by Sam Glanzman, this 1979 issue offers remarkable value for wartime comics fans — gritty, earnest, and packed cover to cover.
