Showcase Presents: Haunted Tank #1
☆ Be the first to reviewThis volume collects the early adventures of the Haunted Tank, a DC war comic from the 1960s featuring a ghostly Confederate general who guides a U.S. tank crew in World War II. The stories, originally published in G.I. Combat, blend supernatural elements with combat action, written by Robert Kanigher and drawn by artists like Russ Heath and Joe Kubert. This black-and-white Showcase Presents edition gathers the first appearances and key early tales of the haunted M3 Stuart tank and its crew, led by Sergeant Jeb Stuart.
"Introducing -- the Haunted Tank" brings together the legendary storytelling of Robert Kanigher and the dynamic art of Irv Novick in a gripping wartime tale that echoes through history. When General J.E.B. Stuart warns the Haunted Tank of a repeating fate, the crew finds themselves facing a modern-day stand at a mountain pass—mirroring the legendary defense at Thermopylae—under the command of a Greek Tank Commander. The cover by Russ Heath captures the intensity of the moment, blending historical weight with the supernatural edge of the Haunted Tank’s legacy.
