Star Spangled War Stories #143

Joe Kubert's cover for this 1969 DC war title delivers a haunting WWI moment: a falling pilot tumbles past the wreckage of his Iron Cross–marked aircraft while the imposing, helmeted figure of Enemy Ace looms large in the foreground, offering a solemn salute — "The murderous skies claim another brave victim!" The tension between honor and tragedy is palpable, capturing exactly the bittersweet moral weight that made this series so distinctive. "The Devil's General" promises another chapter of aerial combat filtered through Enemy Ace's conflicted sense of duty.
