In "The Rules," Wally Wood’s sharp art and Marie Severin’s bold colors bring to life a poignant moment in military aviation history, as Sgt. Warner grapples with guilt and redemption after a tragic accident. When a fellow pilot’s life hangs in the balance due to a risky mission, Warner steps in—driven by sorrow and duty—taking to the skies to honor a fallen comrade’s memory. The story, rendered with emotional precision, finds power in quiet courage, with George Evans’ cover capturing the weight of that fateful decision.

In "The Rules," Lt. Dale’s relentless pursuit of victory clashes with the unspoken code of respect that has long governed aerial combat between American and German pilots in WWI. When his actions cross a line the enemy can no longer ignore, the consequences are swift and personal.
