G.I. Combat #287

Joe Kubert's cover for issue #287 frames the action with striking dramatic flair — a massive bleached skull dominates the foreground while Nazi-marked aircraft streak overhead against a fiery orange sky, setting the stage perfectly for "Shoot-Out on Skull Mountain!" It's a bold, unsettling image that captures the gritty World War II tension G.I. Combat delivered so reliably in 1987. Robert Kanigher and Sam Glanzman are on hand for the interior, promising the kind of hard-edged combat storytelling that defined this long-running DC series.
