G.I. Combat #54

From DC's long-running wartime series comes this November 1957 issue featuring a cover by Jerry Grandenetti that crackles with defiant energy — a battle-worn G.I. clutches a Nazi swastika flag with one hand and a lit Molotov cocktail with the other, his speech bubble daring the enemy: "If you want it back — come and get it!" The featured story is "Fire Control!" and the whole package carries that gritty, boots-on-the-ground tension that made G.I. Combat a staple of mid-century war comics. At a dime a copy in 1957, this was front-line drama at its most vivid.
