G.I. Combat #87

From DC's frontline war anthology comes this May 1961 issue featuring a dramatic aerial assault rendered by Russ Heath — a formation of U.S. star-marked fighter planes dives through flak-burst skies toward a warship below, while a goggled pilot peers from his cockpit in the foreground, the sea erupting in fire and spray around the target. Heath's cover work captures the scale and chaos of combat with real kinetic energy, pulling you right into the thick of the action. With Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath among the creative team inside, G.I. Combat #87 is a fine example of DC's war comics firing on all cylinders.
