Synopsis

Published by Fireside Books and framed chronologically from the 1940s to the 1970s, Enemy Ace serves as a centerpiece feature representing DC's highly creative 1960s output. The book explicitly prints one of Hans von Hammer's most critically acclaimed solo stories: "Killer of the Skies!" (Showcase #57), the precise, historic issue that marked Enemy Ace's very first solo title appearance and cover feature from 1965. The story explicitly highlights the psychological torment Hans faces as he rules the sky while mourning the young Allied and German pilots dying in his wake.

Collector Notes

The hardcover version is a much rarer, library-distributed edition than the more common and widely distributed softcover (ISBN: 0671247743).
