Men of War

This war comic focused more on good writing than on weapons specifications, offering its readers a number of unique storylines in each issue: The Gravedigger series followed the fearless Ulysses Hazard into the front lines of Nazi-occupied Europe. There, together with Allied troops, he embarks on missions no one expects him to return from alive—although he always does so, victoriously.

Enemy Ace takes the unusual twist of tracking the actions of a German nobleman and Nazi ace pilot, Baron Hans von Hammer. He’s the last of his line and presents a poignant figure in a war we know his side will lose.

The third feature, Dateline: Frontline, focuses on a war correspondent as he struggles to report the action as the world collapses around him.
