G.I. Combat #239

This dollar-sized "Big War Book" packs an impressive lineup into a single cover, with Joe Kubert's artwork splitting the action across vivid panels — a Allied tank pushing through flames on one side, and a terrified red-haired girl caught in the path of a German Panzer bearing an iron cross on the other. Smaller vignettes along the bottom tease a ninja exploit, a platoon commander, and a woman facing down a big gun, promising an unusually wide range of wartime drama. At $1.00 in 1982, G.I. Combat #239 delivers a genuinely generous anthology of battlefield tension.
