G.I. Combat #224

DC's long-running war anthology delivers big value with G.I. Combat #224, cover-dated December 1980 and packed with six stories and no ads. Joe Kubert's cover art sets a striking scene: a downed soldier sprawled before the massive gun barrel of the Haunted Tank, surrounded by circular vignettes teasing tales titled "To Skin a Tiger," "You Can't Cheat Death — Twice," "Eye of the Spy," "Lifeline in the Sky," "Reward for a Traitor," and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to War." It's a compelling showcase for one of DC's most dependable war titles, with Al Case contributing to the interior lineup alongside letterer Esphid Mahilum.
