G.I. Combat #44

A tense, moonlit night sky sets the stage on Jerry Grandenetti's gripping cover for this 1957 DC war anthology, where a helmeted American soldier tumbles through the air — parachute lines taut around him, a rocket streaking past — while a warplane prowls the background through scattered flak bursts. The featured story, "The Eagle and the Wolves!," promises the kind of high-stakes aerial and ground action that made G.I. Combat one of DC's most dependable war titles of the era. With Robert Kanigher writing and Joe Kubert on interior art, there's real craft behind every page of battlefield drama.
