G.I. Combat #269

Joe Kubert's cover for this September 1984 "Big War Book" says it all — a soldier on a charging white horse leaps forward through fire and explosions, with a German Panzer tank looming in the background, capturing the wild intensity of the "Glory Ride" feature pitting Stallion vs. Panzer. At $1.25 for more than 40 new pages, this oversized issue also promises the Haunted Tank in "A Tunnel through Hell" by Robert Kanigher and Sam Glanzman, plus OSS-Spy's "The Suicide Six" and a Vietnam tale, "Mekong Madness." It's a genuinely packed anthology of wartime adventure that shows DC's war line firing on all cylinders in 1984.
