The Haunted Tank was a feature of
DC Comics war stories created by
Robert Kanigher that appeared during the
Silver Age of
comic books.
It focused on J.E.B. Stuart, who rode in a tank with the U.S. Armed Forces in
Europe during
World War II. Jeb was a descendant of
Confederate General Jeb Stuart, whose
ghost haunted the tank, and guided it through enemy territory without a scratch.
First appeared in G.I. Combat #87 (1961). Haunted Tank was drawn by Russ Heath, and later Archie Goodwin. It was not a regular feature, and never got its own title. Appearances:
Like all the D.C. comics war stories, it fell under the jurisdiction of the
Comics Code Authority, and so never showed a
dead body.
The tank and its
crew made several more appearances in the D.C. Universe in the
1980s and
1990s:
