Commandant Von Ekt

A shadowy Silver Age villain who prowled the pages of DC's Star Spangled War Stories, Commandant Von Ekt made his mark in 1959 under the masterful hands of writer Robert Kanigher and artist Mort Drucker — a creative pairing that guaranteed sharp storytelling and even sharper visuals. His handful of appearances share space with none other than Mlle. Marie, one of DC's most beloved wartime heroines, which tells you everything about the high-stakes, WWII-flavored world he inhabits. Rare and atmospheric, Von Ekt is exactly the kind of compact, compelling antagonist that makes digging through Silver Age war comics such a rewarding adventure for collectors.
