Star Spangled War Stories #124

DC's Star Spangled War Stories was never shy about its wild premise, and issue #124 delivers that premise in vivid, jaw-dropping fashion. The cover — penciled by Ross Andru and Joe Kubert and inked by Mike Esposito — thrusts a helmeted soldier against a massive, flame-orange T. rex whose gaping jaws loom terrifyingly close as bullets scatter uselessly around them both. The cover copy teases "My Buddy Was a Killer-Dinosaur!" and cheekily asks whether the soldier's account is battle-shock ravings or the truth, making this January 1965 issue an irresistible grab for anyone who loves their WWII action with a prehistoric twist — plus a bonus "Hillbilly with a Heater" story written by Robert Kanigher with interior art by Joe Kubert.
