G.I. Combat #78

DC's G.I. Combat #78 from November 1959 delivers one of the most viscerally gripping war covers of its era — a helmeted GI, soaked and mud-caked, crawls forward with desperate intensity, his outstretched hand dripping with muck as a pistol hangs at his side, the whole scene rendered with raw, gritty immediacy by cover artist Joe Kubert. Inside, Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath team up on "Who Cares about the Infantry?" — a title that practically dares you to keep reading. At just a dime, this is the kind of frontline storytelling that made DC's war comics genuinely compelling in 1959.
