G.I. Combat #60

This May 1958 issue of DC's G.I. Combat puts readers right in the thick of it — a lone GI fires a bazooka point-blank at an enemy tank churning through shallow water, the muzzle blast lighting up the cover in a vivid burst of pink and orange. Jerry Grandenetti's cover work captures that tense, ground-level infantry perspective brilliantly, with smoke and water spray framing the armored behemoth bearing down from the background. Inside, the featured story "Bazooka Crossroads!" promises exactly the kind of gritty, close-quarters battlefield drama that made this ten-cent DC war title a Saturday afternoon staple in 1958.
