Enemy Ace: War Idyll

In 1990, DC Comics published Enemy Ace: War Idyll, a single-issue prestige format graphic novel written and painted by George Pratt. The story returns to the haunting skies of World War I, focusing on the aging German ace Hans von Hammer as he confronts the ghosts of his past amidst the conflict's brutal final days. Pratt's visceral, watercolor artwork and unflinching narrative elevate this beyond a typical war comic, offering a somber meditation on duty, trauma, and the cost of aerial combat. It stands as a powerful, standalone character study that deepened the legacy of the Enemy Ace mythos.
