G.I. Combat (War One-Shot) #1

Phil Winslade's interiors and a Geof Darrow cover make this 2010 DC one-shot a striking package — Darrow renders a bearded Civil War cavalryman, sword raised and pistol blazing, charging atop a ghostly white horse that surges directly over a rumbling WWII tank with a soldier manning its turret gun, all set against billowing clouds of battle smoke. The collision of eras is the whole point: G.I. Combat brings back the Haunted Tank, where the spectral past and the armored present share the same battlefield. Matthew Sturges writes "Listening to Ghosts," and with art by Winslade, this self-contained story is a fine entry point for anyone curious about one of DC's most distinctive war concepts.
