For Sale: G.I. Combat #49 (DC Comics, June 1957) – Classic Early DC War Comic in Good/Very Good 3.0 Condition!

Add this solid early DC-era war comic to your collection! From June 1957, G.I. Combat #49 delivers tough battlefield action from the beginning of DC’s long run on the title.

Why This Issue Stands Out:

•  Cover by Jerry Grandenetti: Dynamic, atmospheric war-cover art that captures the grit and intensity of mid-1950s combat comics.

•  Interior Art by Ross Andru, Jack Abel & Jerry Grandenetti: Strong storytelling art throughout, with Andru (often inked by Mike Esposito) delivering energetic action sequences and Grandenetti adding his distinctive style.

•  Writing by Robert Kanigher, Ed Herron & Bob Haney: Classic war stories including “Frying Pan Seat!,” “No Cover!,” “Go All the Way!,” and “Night Fighter of the Skies!” — hard-hitting tales typical of the era’s best war comics.

This 36-page book is packed with the raw action and atmosphere of late-1950s war comics – ideal for fans of DC war titles, Grandenetti, Andru, and classic G.I. Combat.

Condition & Grading:

Professionally assessed at Good/Very Good 3.0 (GD/VG) with Off-White to Cream/Tan pages. This copy shows moderate-to-significant vintage wear consistent with the grade (creasing, spine stress, rounding, and light-to-moderate page toning) but remains complete, intact, and fully readable. A solid mid-low grade example suitable for readers or collectors building a run.

Collectibility & Value:

G.I. Combat #49 comes from the early DC period (Quality Comics had ended the title with #43). Strong creative talent and classic war content make it a practical addition for war-comic collectors. GD/VG copies offer good accessibility and value.

This book delivers classic late-1950s war action – Grandenetti’s cover, solid interior art from Andru, Abel and Grandenetti, and the hard-edged storytelling of Kanigher, Herron and Haney. A strong piece of DC war-comic history at a practical grade.
