Synopsis

This premium Dollar-Giant collection celebrates the character's legacy with an absolute milestone reprint block beginning on page 49. The issue contains the complete, unedited re-release of 'Enemy Ace!', originally published in Our Army at War #151 (February 1965), which serves as the literal first appearance and historical debut story of Hans von Hammer. The story chronicles his lethal dogfight interception against an Allied observation balloon team and an elite British squadron, framing the very birth of the franchise.

Collector Notes

A highly prized key issue among Silver Age collectors, functioning as the very first dedicated Enemy Ace anthology collection ever published by DC. For historical tracking, this 80-page giant wraps the character's definitive debut story alongside legendary corporate war backups like Joe Kubert's Sgt. Rock and Russ Heath's Sea Devils.
