☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Ghost of the Killer Skies!", Batman confronts a modern-day imitator of the legendary World War I flying ace Enemy Ace, whose obsession with the past drives him to commit crimes in the name of preserving a myth. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with striking realism by Neal Adams—both on interior art and cover—this 1970 issue blends wartime legend with present-day mystery, all rendered in vivid detail by Tatjana Wood and John Costanza.
In "Ghost of the Killer Skies!", a wartime aviation legend stirs from the past when a film about the infamous German ace Hans von Hammer threatens to resurrect old grudges. As the production faces mysterious sabotage, Läderlappen uncovers a deadly connection to von Hammer’s bloodline—and a final aerial duel with a descendant who refuses to let history be rewritten.
