DC put out some cool war books. our army at war, featuring sgt. rock of course, weird war tales, and then there's g.i. combat featuring "the haunted tank"!
I have issue 167, so it ran for a while. oh, I just checked. it lasted until issue #288! if i'm understanding correctly, the haunted tank (created by bob kanigher) is haunted by gen. jeb stuart, and tank commander 'jeb stuart' is named for him. and the insane old pro-slavery ghost protects the tank and crew while they beat snot out of the nazis. mine has some nifty art inside by sam glanzman, with a joe kubert cover
kind of a fun book! i'd heard about this book, but never knew what the hell it was about. they should've updated it top vietnam at some point

G.I. Combat really took off, IMO, when they introduced the double-sized issues! A lot of those back-up stories were top-notch. And the Sam Glanzman art for the Haunted Tank and the 3 Mercenaries was always a treat for the eyes. I have a very, very long run of this series, back when I was collecting back-issues.

I really enjoy glanzman's art. he did a great job with this stuff! DC really did great war books. the only marvel war guy I know of is combat kelly! I have #1 of the 70's combat kelly and a couple others. i haven't really looked at them
