G.I. Combat #243

DC's self-proclaimed "America's No. 1 Battle Mag" delivers a packed dollar-sized anthology in this 1982 issue, with Joe Kubert's cover showcasing an intense circular vignette where a Nazi soldier and an American tanker named Jeb grapple at close quarters — someone urgently urging "Fight back before he finishes you!" Surrounding that central scene are glimpses of dueling tanks, aerial combat, a mysterious figure with a crystal ball, and a woman in the shadows, teasing the issue's multiple stories including "The Young Wolves," "A Test of Loyalty," "Wednesday Soldier," "Hitler's Human Weapon," and "The Steel Eye," plus two promised Haunted Tank thrillers. It's a gloriously dense wartime package, with Robert Kanigher and Sam Glanzman bringing their considerable talents to the interior pages.
