Showcase #58

Hans von Hammer — the Enemy Ace — takes center stage on Joe Kubert's breathtaking cover, locked in a gut-wrenching mid-air clash between biplanes as a desperate enemy gunner reaches out from his cockpit in a last-ditch struggle. A portrait of von Hammer looms in the corner, cool and hawklike, while the red triplane behind him signals that this is World War I aerial combat at its most visceral. Robert Kanigher and Kubert invite you to "The Hunters — and the Hunted!," a sky duel that DC's own cover copy promises is the most sensational air battle of the Great War — attend at your own risk.
