G.I. Combat #22
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Red Firepower Inferno," a new lieutenant steps into the breach after the tragic death of a beloved commander, only to face the silent resistance of his own squad. Alvin Hollingsworth’s powerful interior art captures the weight of duty and the tension of earned respect, while Dick Dillin and Chuck Cuidera’s cover sets the stage with a stark, urgent image. A 10-cent comic from 1955, this issue delivers a grounded, character-driven story of leadership under fire.
When General Ti Kung lures the U.S. aircraft carrier Stinger into a trap at Shanhaikwan under the guise of releasing Allied prisoners, Captain Denning realizes the enemy has ringed the gulf with gun batteries waiting to strike. With his ship crippled and unable to launch aircraft, Denning must rely on Major Vince Collins and the exhausted French and American prisoners he just rescued to mount a desperate raid on the Red gun emplacements—the only way to blast a path to open water and survival.
In "The Lieutenant Attacks," the men of a war-weary infantry company face a new commander after the tragic loss of their beloved lieutenant. As the replacement struggles to earn their respect, he must prove his worth not through orders, but through action—on the battlefield and in the quiet moments that matter most.
When Pvt. Willie Dawson's hunger for combat against Communist forces gets him reassigned as a mess cook under the gruff Sgt. Mullins—nicknamed "Grub"—he's convinced his war is over. But when the two men drive a chow truck toward the front lines to feed hungry soldiers, they stumble onto a discovery that puts them in the thick of danger: a stolen enemy tank hidden in the hills, poised to strike. Now Dawson and Grub must figure out how to stop it before their comrades are caught in a deadly ambush.
