Although the cover never bears "the" in the title, the indicia does. Collected in Haunted Tank.
A popular war story, "Haunted Tank" returned with an updated setting. The ghost of cavalry commander Jeb Stuart had originally appeared in G.I. Combat in 1961, set during World War II. Now, Stuart haunted an M1 Abrams tank that was fighting in the second Iraq war. Published by Vertigo, the 5 issue series by writer Frank Marraffino and artist Harry Flint dealt with war and racism as the ghost of General Stuart (who fought for the South in the Civil War) met his latest descendant - an African-American tank commander.
