Synopsis

Published in San Sebastián, Spain by Burulan S.A. de Ediciones, this premium magazine-sized anthology serves as a vital international milestone for the translation of DC Comics' Silver Age historical properties. Shifting seamlessly behind a striking, high-contrast painted cover of Count Dracula, the interior features the localized Spanish presentation of El As Enemigo. The psychological narrative tracks Hans von Hammer as his honor-bound code is pushed to its absolute limits during an encounter with a vengeful Allied pilot whose cockpit tricks and haunting, scarred visage earned him the terrifying moniker of the aerial hangman.

Collector Notes

Conforming to Burulan's luxury oversized production values, the interior pages alternate between standard full-color spreads and high-grade monochrome inks. This unedited regional presentation removes the original color guides, casting a sharp spotlight directly onto Joe Kubert's dense pencil weights, heavy ink placements, and sprawling aerial dogfight compositions as reconfigured for the regional newsstand market.
