G.I. Combat #247

DC's "America's No. 1 Battle Mag" delivers another packed November 1982 issue, with Joe Kubert's cover depicting a sweat-drenched tank crew member pressing desperately against the ground, his face twisted in alarm as he cries out that he's activated a mine — a Haunted Tank looming ominously behind him. Surrounding that central drama are smaller vignette panels teasing a ninja, ghostly figures, a woman with a camera, and story titles like "The First Kamikaze," "Dog Tag for a Ghost," and "Act of War," signaling the wide range of war tales inside. With Robert Kanigher writing and Sam Glanzman on art, G.I. Combat #247 is a solid slice of what made this long-running anthology series a go-to for fans of gritty battlefield storytelling.
