Aces: Curse of the Red Baron

In 2008, AiT/Planet Lar published this one-shot that reimagines World War I flying ace Manfred von Richthofen—the Red Baron—as the pilot of a supernatural weapon. The story follows a modern-day pilot who discovers the Baron's cursed Fokker Dr.I triplane, setting off a high-altitude battle between aviation history and occult horror. Written by Mark Wheatley and illustrated by Marc Hempel, this single issue delivers a tight, atmospheric blend of pulp adventure and dark fantasy.
