Free to read · restored edition by comicbooks.com
In "Goldbrick Gribble," a soldier named Goldbrick Gribble becomes aware of a "terrible tank trap" while in Korea and must help destroy an enemy commie tank threatening his unit's position. After Joe and his comrades capture the tank as a hostage situation, they manage to destroy it and escape the ambush. In a comedic subplot, Colonel El Coloide falls for a beautiful woman who helps the soldiers, leading to romantic misunderstandings and slapstick humor as various GIs mistake the situation, with the story ending in confusion and romantic entanglements.
