About the series
In 2008, Marvel launched a single-issue revival of its classic war-comic tradition with War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle. Illustrated by John Cassaday, this standalone story reimagines the Phantom Eagle as a World War I flying ace grappling with the brutal reality behind the romanticized heroics of aerial combat. A taut, character-driven war drama, it stands as a modern meditation on the cost of courage, anchored by Cassaday’s visceral, period-detail artwork.
