My favorite Kubert war cover trope is the hero saying, "It's all clear from here, boys," while dozens of the enemy wait in ambush. There must be at least a hundred of those.

If I remember right, after the Stuart and the Sherman, the crew switched to a hybrid tank they put together in a tank graveyard. It was never the same for me after they switched from the Stuart. The stories of the tiny, over-matched tank dancing among the Tigers really rocked me.

Don't get me wrong, Kubert is a master storyteller, with a magnificient brushstroke, pacing, page composition and other visual plotting techniques. But Russ Heath (and John Severin at Marvel) were the one that really gave realism and credibility to a war story.

I was introduced to DC's war comics in 1993 when my mombought a whole huge catdboard box full of DC war comics for a few bucks. It was all 70's-80's.

I was one of the people who voted for the Haunted Tank in Power Company. Don't feel too bad for Firestorm, he showed up in the comic anyway. And now, J.E.B. Stuart's ghost (the original) is on Team 13.

We need far more than a week of war comics, that will barely even get us the rest of heavy hitters like Unknown Soldier, The Losers, and Enemy Ace. I also need the Creature Commandos, GI Robot, Viking Commando, Gravedigger, Primate Platoon, Lt. Larry Rock, and even Marvel's Sgt. Fury (I wonder what ever happened to him).

A lot more interesting than Firestorm or somebody.

By the way, is it my imagination, or at some point in the series, was the [i]entire[/i] crew, not just Jeb, able to see the ghost?

Jen Stuart was actually Jennifer Elizabeth Barbara Stuart (J.E.B. Stuart... get it? Heh) she is the granddaughter of Jeb Stuart of Haunted Tank fame and followed in her grandfather's footsteps and joined the Army and became a tank commander. In the Power Company story she had been tapped by the military to test this new one-man cyber-tank developed by S.T.A.R. labs and was actually touring through S.T.A.R. with her grandfather when there was an extradimensional attack. Jeb Stuart was hurt in the attack and ended up in a coma and Jennifer was asked to take to the Cyber-tank and join part of the Power Company on a mission to rescue the other half of the PC team and get rid of the interdimensional would-be world conquering creature. With Jeb hovering near death he was able to communicate directly with the Confederate J.E.B. Stuart who told him that too many generations separated him from Jennifer and he could not accomany and advise her... but Jeb could. So Jeb took the General's ghostly horse and rode with Jennifer and advised her in the cyber-tank.

Spoiler Space

After returning from this adventure Jeb woke up out of his coma so there was a happy ending all around.

But I don't remember ever actually reading the issue in question. Can someone elaborate on Jen Stuart?

I do love me the legacy characters.

These comics raised me; only two days in, and this is my favorite theme week yet, thank you!

Just got to love his Vertigo series "WAR STORIES."

Brilliantly written and drawn by various.
