G.I. Combat #82

The cover of this July 1960 DC war title pulls you right into the dirt with a grim-faced American sergeant — chevrons visible on his helmet — locked in desperate close-quarters struggle with an enemy soldier, both men reaching for a live grenade between them while flames and fallen comrades fill the hellish background. Jerry Grandenetti's cover art captures that raw, mud-and-fire tension that made G.I. Combat one of DC's most visceral war anthologies of the era. With Robert Kanigher writing and Irv Novick on interior art, "Get Off My Back!" promises the kind of hard-edged combat storytelling that kept readers coming back for more.
