About this Collection

This hardcover collects the 1990 DC prestige-format miniseries Enemy Ace: War Idyll, written by George Pratt with painted artwork by Pratt himself. Set during World War I, it follows German flying ace Hans von Hammer as he confronts the brutal realities of aerial combat and the psychological toll of war. The story is a somber, introspective examination of duty, honor, and the human cost of conflict, distinct from the character's earlier Silver Age adventures.

In "Enemy Ace: War Idyll," veteran pilot Hans von Hammer reflects on his past as the legendary German ace, sharing his wartime memories with reporter Mannock in a quiet, poignant conversation. Written and illustrated by George Pratt, this evocative story captures the weight of memory and the cost of war, with Pratt’s distinctive art bringing the era to life on every page. The cover, also by Pratt, frames the moment with a striking, timeless elegance.
