Synopsis

Published by DC Comics as part of Ken Steacy's auteur time-travel project, this third prestige-format installment accelerates the collapsing timeline as chronal paradoxes tear through historical epochs. As the central narrative tracks the temporal emergency, the space-time grid violently shatters, dropping the main characters directly into an active 1918 aerial dogfight over the Western Front. Within this localized crossfire, the cast faces a direct, interactive 2-page cameo encounter with the Rittmeister Hans von Hammer, forcing them to navigate the lethal precision of the Enemy Ace as he pilots his trademark crimson Fokker triplane through the shifting chrono-displacement fields.

Collector Notes

Conforming to the luxury production specs of DC's early-1990s prestige line, the internal story architecture is rendered entirely in fully painted, rich airbrush graphics on high-grade glossy paper. For Hans von Hammer chroniclers, this appearance represents a vital historical anomaly, preserving a rare moment where the traditional high-contrast ink style of the character's Silver Age masters is reconfigured into a fully rendered, modern fine-art aesthetic for the international collector market.
