G.I. Combat #149

G.I. Combat #149 (On Sale: June 10, 1971), has a Haunted Tank cover by Joe Kubert. They kept the "Bigger and Better" slug off this cover since the last few issues have been 64 pages for 25 cents.

We begin with the Haunted Tank in "Leave the Fighting to Us" by Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath. Some of the soldiers despise the new replacement, an observant Jewish sergeant. When he shows great valor and accomplishes the mission at the cost of his life, they're forced to reconsider. Reprinted in Showcase Presents: Haunted Tank Vol. 2 TPB (2008).

The backup is Sgt. Rock in "Last Man -- Last Shot" by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert and reprinted from Our Army at War #152 (1965). Sgt. Rock picks up a new group of recruits as replacements for Easy Company. As he returns with them to the front, they meet several attacks by enemy forces. The new recruits all freeze under fire and do not get off a shot. Rock is forced to stop the enemy attacks himself.

Between attacks, Rock tells them stories of other soldiers who were scared under pressure. He explains that they froze too. However, each one of them eventually overcame the fear and heroically died in combat.

Rock’s jeep is hit by another attack. He is forced to crawl toward the enemy forces, expecting his men to follow. They have frozen again. Rock is hit by enemy fire and goes down. Seeing their leader is human, the recruits finally return fire and fight off the enemy attack. Rock, who is wounded, then brings the troops to Easy Company.

G.I. Combat #148

G.I. Combat #148 (On Sale: April 13, 1971), has a so-so cover by Joe Kubert.

We begin with The Haunted Tank in "The Gold-Plated General" by Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath. After an encounter with a Nazi tank, Jeb Stuart and the crew of the Haunted Tank make their way back to the command post to meet their new commanding officer, General Norton (who bears a striking resemblance to George C. Scott in Patton). The general is a stickler for appearance. He wears a gold helmet and brandishes golden pistol sidearms. The men begrudgingly follow his orders to clean themselves up.

A short time later, Jeb leads his newly polished crew into battle. The general is right beside him in another tank. The brash general charges the enemy position and leads the surge to overtake them. Following the victorious battle, the general's clothing is soiled. The men hope he will relax discipline now that their leader is no longer immaculate. Reprinted in Showcase Presents: Haunted Tank Vol. 2 TPB (2008).

Next up is our first reprint, "Blind Bomber" by Hank Chapman and Mort Drucker and reprinted from Star Spangled War Stories #84 (1959). In the skies above their target, a bomber is blinded by flak fire. He is told to just circle the area slowly and once they drop their bombs, the other bombers will talk him home. Best laid plans, as they say, and the other bombers miss their target requiring our blind bomber to make a run at the targets, sight unseen. He drops his bombs perfectly and somehow manages to dodge the MIGs trying to shoot him down. Back at their carrier, they are under attack, but the pilot is able to land on the deck while under heavy enemy fire. Once down he learns that his sight should return in a week or so. 

Next, we have "Cry 'Wolf' Mission" by Bob Haney and Russ Heath and reprinted from Star Spangled War Stories #91 (1960). Davey Lee is a frogman and his senses have developed for his specialty of working underwater. While attempting to get at an enemy sub, Davey sets off a few underwater mines and has to call the mission off. The skipper of their ship decides to send Davey back with his brother, Ben, as his partner. They return and find the sub and the pen that protected it are both gone. Some searching turns up the sub, but it is now unprotected. They set charges and blow it up, but back on the ship the skipper is worried that Davey made up or hallucinated the traps he found the first time. even Ben wonders if his brother was simply crying wolf. Two days later one of their ships is destroyed and the skipper wants to know how. Now both brothers are looked at with suspicion. 

The next day on a practice run, the brothers once again encounter the underwater net and traps and are attacked by enemy frogmen. They manage to fight them off and find the submarine again. They again set charges and blow it up. Back on the ship, the skipper explains that intelligence discovered that the traps Davey first encountered were real, but when he set off the mines, the enemy removed them and put a dummy submarine in their place. This time, they blew up the real sub.

That is followed by "Soften 'em Up" by Bob Haney and Irv Novick and reprinted from Our Fighting Forces #57 (1960). A green recruit and a savvy vet watch the artillery, bombers, and tanks work over the city of Dulac. While the greenhorn is sure the town will be "softened up" the vet says not to take anything for granted. Although the town appears "softened" they soon find themselves avoiding Nazi tanks, snipers, and machine-gun nests. The two men then take out the sniper, blow up the nest and take out the tank proving the town to not be as soft as the greenhorn thought.

We end this issue with another Haunted Tank story, "Battle Window" by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert and reprinted from G.I. Combat #102 (1963). The ghost of General Stuart warns Jeb that his life will depend on a single shot. Later that day, the Haunted Tank is attacked by several German tanks, Jeb and his crew manage to escape and destroy the enemy tanks, but their gun is jammed. When a fighter attacks from above they are unable to fire back until Rick repairs the gun for a single shot. They shoot down the plane, but the General explains that it was not the single shot he was talking about.

When the Haunted Tank enters an abandoned French town that serves as a Nazi trap, an old French soldier manages to warn the crew in time. The Haunted Tank is chased through the streets until it eventually prevails against the German opponents. The French soldier then saves Jeb from a sniper with a single shot.

G.I. Combat #147

G.I. Combat #147 (On Sale: February 11, 1971), has a cover by Joe Kubert.

we begin with the Haunted Tank in "Rebel Tank" by Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath. After his old commanding officer dies in combat, Jeb Stuart is reassigned to the command of Major Bragg. The major is offended that a Yankee has been given the name of a confederate general, so he orders Jeb to sit out of combat and make supply runs instead. The crew of the Haunted Tank complies, but after a while, they want to get back in the fight.

Eventually, Jeb disobeys orders and sends the Haunted Tank to Mount Abruzzi, where Major Bragg has launched an offensive. Jeb finds Bragg's tank and the others destroyed, Bragg orders Jeb to retreat, but once again he disobeys orders and attacks the Nazi position. By guiding the small tank along a mountain goat trail, the Haunted Tank is able to surprise the Nazis from behind and deliver the knock-out blow to their installation. Reprinted in Showcase Presents: Haunted Tank Vol. 2 TPB (2008).

Next, we have "Sniper's Roost" by Bob Haney and Mort Drucker and reprinted from All American Men of War #71 (1959). The story of a Nazi sniper, called "The Hawk" and how he looks at his targets as toys or insects until one gets far too close. Really wonderful artwork by MAD's Mort Drucker.

That is followed by "Tin Pot Listening Post" by Bob Haney and Jerry Grandenetti and reprinted from All American Men of War #70 (1959). A young recruit is sent into the jungle to be the forward listening post for his outfit. He is so jumpy he mistakes insects, monkeys, and birds for the enemy but each such mistake brings out a real enemy that the young recruit takes care of himself.

Next up is "Broomstick Pilot" by France Herron and John Severin and reprinted from Our Army at War #69 (1958). A young co-pilot on his way to bomb a Nazi submarine pen is startled when the pilot leaves formation and drops low to the ground to avoid enemy aircraft. The pilot says they are now "broomstick pilots" as they fly on at 100 feet, running enemy planes into tension wires and poles, dodging the fire of tanks and ground artillery. They take out the submarine pen then head back home hugging the ground all the way. 

Our next tale is "Battle Window" by Robert Kanigher, Ross Andru, and MikeEsposito and reprinted from All-American Men of War #36 (1956). New recruit Terry was a window washer before the war and everything in the war reminds him of the windows he hates.

This issue ends with "Target for an Ammo Boy" by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert and reprinted from All American Men of War #71 (1959). On a Pacific island, a recruit tags along with T.K., known by the men as Tank Killer. Everywhere they look, they find hidden tanks.

G.I. Combat #146

G.I. Combat #146 (On Sale: December 8, 1970), has a cover by Joe Kubert. 

We start with the Haunted Tank in "Move the World" by Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath. Jeb Stuart and the crew of the Haunted Tank are stuck in a ravine in the North African desert while two other tanks are destroyed by Nazis. When Jeb gets the tank out, they are badly outnumbered. Jeb outraces the Nazi troop carriers following him, then stops to pick up Ulysses, an infantryman. The tank then heads to Fort Solitary.

When the Haunted Tank arrives, the fort has already been destroyed. The Nazis pursuing them are close, so Jeb has his men detach the tank's turret to use as a decoy. When the Nazis arrive, they are taken by surprise from multiple directions. Jeb and his men win the battle, then reassemble the tank. This story was reprinted in Showcase Presents: Haunted Tank Vol. 2 TPB (2008).

Rock calms a new recruit while under fire by telling him stories of Easy Company's past missions. He tells the soldier how Ice Cream Soldier, Bulldozer, and Wild Man each earned their nicknames. When it comes time to fight, Sgt. Rock also shows why he is called "the Rock" by standing in the face of enemy fire. The new recruit proves himself in battle, earning his own nickname, Green Apple.

G.I. Combat #145

G.I. Combat #145 (On Sale: October 8, 1970) has another cool Haunted Tank  cover by Joe Kubert.

We begin this "BIG" issue with one of the original stories in it, "Sand, Sun & Death" starring the Haunted Tank, written by Robert Kanigher an drawn by Russ Heath. In the desert of North Africa, the Haunted Tank in surrounded by enemy tanks. When they run out of ammunition, Jeb orders the tank to take cover in a sand storm. When the storm clears, they are lost, but they soon find a crashed bomber. 

The pilot is still alive, but he has gone mad. Jeb convinces him to get back into the fight when the enemy tanks arrive. Rick, Slim, and Arch man the plane's guns while the pilot and Jeb strike at the enemy from behind. They win the battle, but the pilot is killed during the fight. This story was reprinted in Showcase Presents: Haunted Tank Vol. 2 TPB.

Next we have the first of the reprints, "A Hatful of War" by Bob Haney and Mort Drucker and reprinted from G.I. Combat #61 (1958). A green recruit asks his Sarge what the tightest spot he could expect to be in, to which the Sarge replies, "You'll know it when you're in it." Out scouting one day the kid gets pinned sown by a machine gun and his helmet starts to feel real tight, but the kid manages to get close enough to use a grenade to end the threat and his helmet suddenly feels much looser. Shortly, while guarding a deserted farmhouse, the kid sees a German grenade flying at him and uses his helmet to knock it away, He crawls under the farmhouse steps and from there is able to take out the Nazi who threw the grenade, making his restrictive helmet feel loose again.

A few days later he is in a foxhole when a German tank arrives and once again his helmet begins to tighten. He jumps onto the tank and manages to take it out. Later when the Sarge asks if he has found the tightest spot in the war yet, the kid points to his head and say, "Right in here!"

Our next reprint is "The Iron Punch" by France Herron and Arthur Peddy and reprinted from Our Fighting Forces #5 (1955). When Seabee Bob Tully is ordered to get supplies through a jungle he uses his bulldozer, Peg, to get the job done, promising to go "straight through the jungle." When attacked by snipers from up in some trees, Peg knocks them down. when attacked by machine guns in pillboxes, Peg bulldozes them over, and when challenged by an enemy tank, Peg pushes it over a cliff. Later at Seabee headquarters, Tully is shown an aerial photo of his rad and it is anything but straight.

Next we have a new two-page Battle Album, "Terror in the Sky!" on different types of anti-aircraft shells used during World War II. The art is by Sam Glanzman.

The next reprint is "Hot Corner" by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert and reprinted from G.I. Combat #59 (1958). When ball player Arnie gets his chance in the big leagues, his hitting is fine, but his fielding at third base, what his manager called the "Hot Corner" was so bad his career was over before it started. Too embarrassed by the stories in the papers to return home, Arnie joins the army and is shipped out to North Africa where he hopes to prove himself on the front, but it is not to be. He is ordered to babysit some supplies till another platoon comes to pick them up. 

While waiting he sees a platoon of Nazi infantry approaching and prepares to stop them with his machine gun. He is so distracted by the approaching men that he fails to see the Nazi sneaking up behind him, and they knock each other out in a fist fight. He awakens to the approaching Nazis and opens fire on them. Suddenly he is attacked from the air by a Stuka which in his mind is a running trying to score on him. He manages to shoot the Stuka down, but later he sees a tank attack as another runner trying to get past his corner. He manages to get a grenade into the tank and later when the second platoon shows up for his supplies and asks what he thinks he is doing just sitting there, he says he is, "Sitting on a hot corner!"

That is followed by "Mile-Long Step" by John Reed and Jerry Grandenetti and reprinted from Our Fighting Forces #2 (1954). After landing on a beach, an infantry group has to help another company three miles away. Their transport by truck is interrupted by a Nazi tank, which they mange to take out but they now have to hoof it to the next company. After dealing with some more Nazis, they arrive safely. A few weeks later they parachute into enemy land and are once again attacked but manage to fight their way out, one remarking that "War's only a step away--one after the other---a million of them."

Our last reprint is  "Glory Dive" by France Herron and Joe Kubert and reprinted from Our Army at War #32 (1955). On a US held island the soldiers put on a mini Olympics, but when one of the men from a submarine crew, Barney, participates in the high diving event, he does not come back u to the surface.

There he is questioned for information but manages to escape, where he sees a hidden Japanese air-craft carrier. Barney steal a Japanese mini sub, returns to his men and an air strike is called to take out the carrier.

We end with the other new story, "Missing: 320 Men" a U.S.S. Stevens tale by Sam Glanzman. This is the story of Jerry Boyle a crewman who spent all his spare time drawing the hardware around him. After battles he would draw them from memory. The rest of the men loved his drawings, but after the war Jerry would notice that although he drew all the tings around him, he never drew any of the 320 men on the ship.

G.I. Combat #144

G.I. Combat #144 (On Sale: August 11, 1970) has an uneven cover by Joe Kubert. The logo is just too damn big, no pun intended, and the small pics on the left do nothing to make me want to purchase it. Also, the whole thing is just too dark making for an unusually unappealing effort from Kubert.

Also, the "Two Magazines in One!" blurb is really misleading. Yeah, there are two magazines for sure. One is a skimped on 19-page book of new material and the other is a 36-page reprint book. OK, by today's standards 18 pages of new material for 25 cents is a pretty good deal, particularly when 14 of those pages are by Russ Heath, but at the time, it seemed like a rip-off.

We begin with the Haunted Tank tale "Every Man a Fort" by
Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath. This accounts for 14 of the pages of new material.

Now we gt into the reprints starting with "Straw Pilot" a ten-pager by Hank Chapman and Joe Kubert. Originally produced for Our Army at War #147.

Next is "Something for the Sarge." This eight-pager from Our Army at War #85 is by Bob Haney and Russ Heath.

That is followed by "The Soldier on Four Wheels" a six-pager by the great Bill Finger and Mort Drucker from Star Spangled War Stories #59. A Mort Drucker war story is always a welcome treat.

The next story is "Shooting Gallery," a 12-page story by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert, reprinted from Our Army at War #73.

The book ends with the other original story, "Liegnitz and the Mongol Tide," a four page tale drawn by Ric Estrada.

G.I. Combat #139

G.I. Combat #139 (On Sale: October 9, 1969) has a Haunted Tank cover by Joe Kubert. This one is a standard "we think we are safe but we are not" cover and Kubert could churn these out, seemingly forever.

The Haunted Tank stars in "Corner of Hell," called "Corner of Hades" on the cover, by Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath. The Haunted Tank is night-dropped into narrow Zahilla Pass in a effort to ward off an enemy attack on the stronghold of Prince Akmed, but due to an attack from a night fighter plane, their chute is damaged and they end up short of the pass. They arrive in time to see a funeral pyre being lit for a dead Prince Akmed and a living Princess Azeela and step in to put a stop to it and save the Princess. The Mufti declares the team "infidels" for contaminating their Islamic holy place.

He goes on in an attempt to turn his tribe against the Americans, saying that since he saved the Princess's life, he must marry her. Surprisingly, Jeb agrees and they are married. They spend a wonderful honeymoon in a tent and then in the morning Jeb leaves the camp with the Princess, heading off for the Zahilla Pass.

There they get into a hairy fight with a number of Nazi tanks. Through it all the Princess is by Jeb's side. However, they are hopelessly outnumbered and know it is just a matter of time before the Nazis push through. Suddenly, the tribesmen come to the rescue, saying they are against the Nazis and for the Princess. They quickly turn the tide in Jeb's favor, when the mufti arrives kill Jeb. The princess jumps in the way, protecting her husband and a Nazi shell takes out the mufti. In the end, Jeb hands his wife's lifeless body over to her tribe.This story was reprinted in Showcase Presents: Haunted Tank Vol. 2 TPB.

G.I. Combat #138

G.I. Combat #138 (On Sale: August 14, 1969) has a cover by Joe Kubert.

We began with The Haunted Tank in "The Losers" by Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath. This is the first story of The Losers, though the cover calls them the Born Losers, who would eventually take over Our Fighting Forces. After falling for a trap and loosing the big gun on the Haunted Tank, Jeb is feeling like a loser. While driving along they run into Captain Storm, who lost his PT boat command and entire crew. He too is feeling like a loser and hitches a ride on the Haunted Tank.

As they continue on they meet Gunner and Sarge, who have lost their entire patrol of green recruits to a Nazi ambush. Feeling like losers and needing a lift, they too jump onto the tank. Later on they find a downed plane and the pilot, Johnny Cloud. He lost his plane and the green horn he was training this morning and he is feeling, go ahead, say it with me, "like a loser."

With the help of the new Losers, Jeb and the crew are able to complete their mission. Not the greatest of origin stories, though the artwork by Heath is very good, at least when Kubert kept his hands off it.

The Losers consisted of Captain Storm, Johnny Cloud, Gunner and Sarge. This Losers origin story was reprinted in Showcase Presents: Haunted Tank Vol. 2 TPB.

Next is a one-page Warrior: History's Mightiest Men of Combat! featuring Genghis Khan. This is a beautiful page of glorious Ken Barr artwork.

The back-up story "Bright Banner" was expertly drawn by George Evans. The tide of the battle seemed to change when the regiment's flag was torn from the hands of 16-year-old Jess Canfield, a Confederate soldier in the Georgia Regulars. Believing the loss his fault, Jess sneaks across enemy lines and into the Union camp to steal back the flag. He finds the flag but awakens the camp and has to take a hostage to get out alive.

As they ride off in a hail of trailing bullets they are carried across the battlefield to the Confederate camp. The Union Captain returns the banner and "the body of a brave soldier--your Regimental Flag Bearer."
