The "Hammer of Hell" hits the comic book stands and the fictional airspace over Europe in the late 60's. In a time when war books were becoming more complex vehicles for storytelling, Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert combined to give us a look at the enemy.
Hans Von Hammer was the infamous Red Baron in fictional clothes and as such they creators were able to focus on his relative nobility in the raw and unforgiving face of war and death. The air battles of World War I are still seen by many as honorable bouts between knights, but of course the reality is much more brutal and real. In this comic we meet the enemy and he is us. But we knew that already.
