Synopsis

During a swirling, chaotic montage showcasing the various eras Mitch Shelley (Resurrection Man) has lived and died through, a prominent panel depicts a flashback memory of Hans von Hammer flying his iconic red Fokker triplane during World War I.

Collector Notes

A single-panel appearance in one of the more imaginative DC series of the late 1990s. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's Resurrection Man dealt explicitly with memory, identity, and the accumulation of lives across time, making Enemy Ace a natural touchstone for its historical montage sequences. The appearance signals von Hammer's standing as a reliable visual shorthand for WWI heroism within the DC universe.
