Star Spangled War Stories #139 - Joe Kubert art & cover

Joe Kubert

Star Spangled War Stories v1 #139 featuring Enemy Ace, 1968 - Germany's greatest ace once again meets his French counterpart known as the Hangman. Interestingly, part of the story recalls his youth, training and lessons from his nobleman father. Whether aerial dogfights or opulent estates, Joe Kubert illustrates with great skill and confidence. His first page is powerful, depicting the god of war holding symbolic pieces on a grand chess set. Kubert follows this with a bold two-page spread of a full-on aerial attack. Equally stunning, both scenes set the sophisticated tone for the rest of the book. Also included is a two-page Battle Album on WWII aircraft, later reprinted in DC Special #26. This is 39 of 96 Star Spangled War Stories issues by Kubert.
