Synopsis
The explosive kickoff to the high-stakes, late-Bronze Age story arc 'Killers of the Sky.' This opening chapter focuses heavily on the reckless Allied ace Lt. Steve Savage (The Balloon Buster) as he leads the 27th Aero Squadron on a high-altitude patrol sweep over enemy territory. Seeking to break the standard Allied flight formations, Savage pushes his unit deep into imperial targets, only to be suddenly ambushed by an elite hunting pack of German Fokker Triplanes. Serving as a dramatic cliffhanger for the miniseries, Rittmeister Hans von Hammer makes a striking, wordless cameo appearance in his solid-crimson aircraft—instantly solidifying an unresolved sky rivalry that sets the stage for a brutal multi-issue dogfight.
