DC Comics · Weird War Tales #82 · December 1979 · 40¢ · 52 pages
Grade: NM 9.4
Cover by George Evans — signed.
“Death by Hellfire!” leads this issue's anthology of war and horror crossovers — the exact formula DC rode for all 124 issues of this series: soldiers in impossible situations, the supernatural settling scores that bullets couldn't. Specific interior credits for this issue's individual stories and artists are not confirmed in our records; we won't reconstruct what we can't verify.
George Evans on the cover is the real draw here. Evans came up through EC — Frontline Combat, Two-Fisted Tales — and his war work never lost its edge. Seeing his signature on a 1979 DC cover is a direct line back to the best of the genre. The 40-cent cover price also marks this as a price variant copy, a minor but genuine distinction for run collectors tracking the transitional pricing period.

We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it.
