About the series
In the late 1990s, Gemstone Publishing revived the classic war comic Aces High with a single annual issue, bringing together writer Irv Werstein and artist George Evans for a focused tribute to aerial combat. This one-shot continues the series' tradition of gritty, historically-rooted stories of World War I and II pilots, with Evans' meticulously detailed artwork capturing the danger and drama of dogfights and bomber runs. Though brief, the Aces High Annual stands as a faithful homage to the war comics of the 1950s and '60s, preserving the genre's legacy for a new generation of readers.
