G.I. Combat #230

DC's long-running war anthology returns with this June 1981 oversized edition, cover by Joe Kubert, which frames a tense standoff: a lone soldier in a Confederate-draped coat grips a pistol while caught between two looming figures — one clutching a Nazi banner on the left and another leveling a gun on the right — with a tank lurking in the background. The Haunted Tank stars in the lead story "Battle of the Brave Banners," and the book rounds out its "no ads" pages with four fighting features including "Kill Me Twice," "The Nurse and the Sub," and "The G.I. Who Went Bugs." It's a solid package of WWII action showcasing exactly why G.I. Combat earned its reputation as DC's premier war title.
