G.I. Combat #256

Two massive tanks — the Allied "313" and a German Tiger — face off at nearly point-blank range on this kinetic Joe Kubert cover for G.I. Combat #256, with soldiers scrambling across the battlefield as cannon fire erupts between the hulking machines. The cover banner promises three stories inside, including "Some Generals Never Learn!" and "Overdue — Reported Sunk," making this a typically packed installment of DC's self-proclaimed "America's No. 1 Battle Mag." Kubert's draftsmanship brings real weight and tension to the steel-on-steel standoff, a fine showcase for why this long-running war anthology kept readers coming back in 1983.
