G.I. Combat #81

From DC's long-running wartime anthology comes G.I. Combat #81 (May 1960), with a cover by Jerry Grandenetti that pulls you right into the thick of it. A U.S. Army sergeant crouches low in tall grass, arm raised and clutching a red-handled implement, his expression tense and focused — while looming behind him is a German tank marked "721" and bearing the Iron Cross insignia, its guns aimed and ready. It's a gripping, ground-level composition that captures the nerve-wracking tension of a lone soldier facing overwhelming armor, and at just ten cents, this issue delivers the gritty drama that made G.I. Combat one of DC's most compelling war titles of the era.
