DC Special #26

DC Special #26 brings together the grim atmosphere of World War One aerial combat through Joe Kubert's striking cover, where a looming, goggled German pilot dominates the background as his red triplane — marked with Iron Crosses — dives low over a chaotic battlefield strewn with fallen soldiers and wrecked machinery. The tagline "The Battle for Survival in the Fiery Skies of World War One!" sets the tone perfectly for this Enemy Ace showcase. Bob Kanigher and Kubert, one of comics' most celebrated war-story collaborations, deliver "The Devil's General" — and at 50 cents in 1977, this was a genuinely compelling package for fans of serious wartime storytelling.
