Synopsis
Enemy Ace takes up permanent residence in Star-Spangled War Stories with his first ongoing solo series. In this historic launch issue, Hans von Hammer faces a deadly new vanguard of Allied aviators, culminating in the dramatic debut of his ultimate arch-rival: The Hangman (Count Andre de Sevigne). Driven by a fierce personal vendetta, the brilliant French ace matches the Rittmeister's tactical aerial grace move-for-move, setting off a legendary, multi-issue blood feud. Their initial high-altitude interception remains one of the most mechanically tense, psychologically bruising dogfights of the entire Silver Age run.
