Remember the 'Haunted Tank' Comic Book series? The WWII crew were Southerners and the Ghost of Gen. Jeb Stuart would always appear to the commander right before a battle to give some sort of cryptic advice on what to do.

I still have a lot of my old war comics from the 60s and 70s, although they are a little worn as I used to read them over and over again. Russ Heath was my favorite artist; he illustrated a lot of SGT ROCK and Haunted Tank comics. Panzer Out |

thanks for posting those pics... anyway, this tank is way too much fun...you know, i'm already thinking, now...which one should i get next?? hell, Valentine's Day is only about a month away!!!! i haven't yet taken it out of my apartment to see what it can do over various terrains...i don't think my neighbors would appreciate the sound of machine-gun fire and missiles launching thru their windows. |
