Combat

A gritty, four-issue war comic published by Interpresse in the mid-1960s, Combat brought together a powerhouse of DC war-comics talent, including writers Howard Liss and Robert Kanigher and artists Joe Kubert, Russ Heath, and Jack Abel. Each issue delivered a standalone, unflinching look at the brutal realities of ground warfare, focusing on the human cost and tactical grit rather than flag-waving heroics. Its significance lies in how it distilled the visceral, no-nonsense approach of the era's best war storytelling into a compact, intense series.
