G.I. Combat #236

DC's long-running war anthology delivers five stories in one oversized package with this 1981 "Big War Book" edition of G.I. Combat #236 — truly no ads, cover-to-cover action as promised. Joe Kubert's cover art anchors the issue dramatically, with a leather-helmeted pilot swinging on a rope beneath a German-marked aircraft while soldiers and tanks battle across the ground below, surrounded by four inset panels teasing the stories within: "Ghost Infantryman," "Hostages in Hell," "Surgeon in the Sky," and the Haunted Tank's own "Battle Within." Among the interior tales is "Spoils of War," crafted by writer George Kashdan with art and inks by Dick Ayers and lettering by John Costanza, making this a satisfying grab for anyone who loves classic wartime comics storytelling packed with variety.
