Air War Stories #4

Sam Glanzman's cover for issue #4 sets a gripping tone, depicting two WWI-era biplanes locked in a desperate mid-air encounter — a battered Allied aircraft in the foreground firing upward at a dark enemy plane, with debris and sparks bursting at the point of impact against a shadowy, turbulent sky. The Iron Cross markings on the adversary and the Allied roundels on the lower craft make the stakes unmistakably clear. With a story titled "One Was Doomed," this 2022 entry from It's Alive Press promises the kind of gritty, human-scale aerial combat storytelling that Glanzman has long made his own.
