In "Wanted By the Nazis," a 2012 PS Artbooks release, young Rickie finds himself caught in a dangerous game after a model plane win draws unwanted attention. When his friend Tom is murdered and Rickie is buried alive, he uses his precise replica of Birdie’s plane to signal for help—leading the Heap to intervene. Written by Dick Wood and illustrated by Art Peddy, with inks by Bernard Sachs and colors by Dick Wood, the issue features a striking cover by Mike Ploog.
