G.I. Combat #84

A U.S. sailor strains against a massive depth charge launcher on what appears to be a rain-lashed deck, while a swastika-marked submarine emerges from a fiery sea behind him — Joe Kubert's cover for this November 1960 issue crackles with the desperate tension of close-quarters naval combat. The banner proudly announces the return of the TNT Trio — Little Al, Big Al, and Charlie Cigar — "back by popular request," a sure sign DC readers couldn't get enough of this scrappy crew. With interior work from the team of Robert Kanigher, Ross Andru, and Mike Esposito, G.I. Combat #84 delivers the gritty wartime drama that made this series a standout of its era.
