Synopsis

Enemy Ace, a WWII American soldier, and an unexplainable robotic unit (G.I. Robot) all crash-land simultaneously on an uncharted tropical shoreline. As they try to ascertain their coordinates, they are immediately ambushed by a pack of territorial velociraptors. Realizing they originate from entirely different centuries, they form a desperate, temporary alliance to survive.

Collector Notes

A 12-issue DC series reviving the classic Dinosaur Island concept, placing Enemy Ace alongside an unprecedented cross-era cast including Sgt. Rock, Tomahawk, Viking Prince, and G.I. Robot. The series is notable for its pulp-style main covers by a rotating roster of artists including Geof Darrow, Howard Porter, Ladronn, and Justiniano on the final issues.
