Aces High

Aces High, published by EC Comics from 1955, was a taut, five-issue war comic that focused squarely on the aerial combat of World War I and World War II. Scripted primarily by Carl Wessler and brought to vivid, kinetic life by the distinctive art of Wally Wood and Bernie Krigstein, the series is remembered for its gritty, unglamorous portrayal of pilots and dogfights. It stands as a classic example of EC's mature, art-driven approach to the war genre, offering a short but potent run that remains a touchstone for fans of mid-century comics.
