Showcase Presents: Haunted Tank #2
☆ Be the first to reviewThis volume collects classic DC war comics featuring the Haunted Tank, a World War II M3 Stuart tank crewed by soldiers who are guided by the ghost of Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart. Reprinting stories from the 1960s and 1970s, it continues the supernatural-tinged adventures of Sergeant Jeb Stuart and his men as they battle Axis forces across North Africa and Europe. The black-and-white Showcase Presents format offers a budget-friendly way to experience these vintage war tales in a single thick paperback.
In "Pull a Tiger's Tail," the Haunted Tank crew crosses the desert and rescues a young boy named Ali from thieves, setting in motion a mission that will test their courage and resolve. When they intercept a German plane and learn of a deadly Nazi poison gas dump, they take on the perilous task—only to be blinded by magnesium flares, forcing them to rely on Ali’s unexpected guidance. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Russ Heath, with a cover by Joe Kubert, this 2008 issue delivers tense action and wartime camaraderie in a story that hinges on loyalty and the unlikeliest of heroes.
