Star Spangled War Stories #149

Joe Kubert's cover for this 1970 DC issue puts you right in the cockpit-level chaos of WWI aerial combat — a German pilot in fur-lined flying gear tumbles desperately across a biplane's wing as flames lick the fuselage and an urgent speech balloon screams "Pull up — he has me dead in his sights!" It's a visceral, vertigo-inducing image that captures Enemy Ace's signature tension perfectly. A corner inset also teases a bonus tale featuring the Viking Prince, "Fighting Warrior of the Frozen Fjords," promising plenty of action beyond the skies of the Western Front.
