Star Spangled War Stories #28

DC's Star Spangled War Stories #28 (December 1954) puts readers right in the thick of armored combat, with a tense face-off between an American soldier firing his pistol from a U.S. Army vehicle — American flag visible on its hull — and an enemy tank commander returning fire from tank number 177, marked with a German cross, against a backdrop of fire and smoke. Jerry Grandenetti's cover work crackles with urgency, capturing that desperate, close-quarters tension between two men in steel machines. Four stories are promised inside — "Tank Duel!," "Man Who Owned No Man's Land," "General Mud!," and "Glass Hero!" — making this a packed ten-cent package of wartime drama from Robert Kanigher and artist Jerry Grandenetti.
