G.I. Combat #238

Joe Kubert's cover for this February 1982 DC war anthology is a striking scene of tension and urgency — a desperate older civilian clutching a rifle gestures frantically as children huddle nearby, all overshadowed by the looming star-marked bulk of the Haunted Tank bearing down behind them. Preview panels along the right side tease the issue's multiple stories, including "Spy Kills Spy," "The Runner and the Flame," "Soldier in a Showcase," and the promise of the Haunted Tank as a "Battle Ark." G.I. Combat #238 delivers the "cover-to-cover battle action" it advertises, with George Kashdan and Dick Ayers contributing to a packed lineup that makes this a satisfying read for any fan of DC's war comics era.
