The EC Archives: Aces High

In 2017, Dark Horse Comics launched The EC Archives: Aces High, a single-issue volume that collects the classic war comics from EC’s early 1950s series. Known for its gritty, unflinching portrayals of aerial combat, the stories are most frequently illustrated by George Evans, whose detailed, dynamic artwork brought the high-stakes dogfights to visceral life. This archival edition preserves a vital piece of EC’s legacy, showcasing the publisher’s commitment to mature, historically grounded storytelling before the Comics Code reshaped the industry.
