YMMV / Enemy Ace

• Archive Binge: The entire run was conveniently collected in a single DC Showcase volume plus the Batman story involving the "ghost" of Hans von Hammer, though in black-and-white. The earlier two-volume Archives are indeed in color, but the art wasn't restored in these releases; they also lack the Neal Adams-illustrated stories.
• Heartwarming Moments: In keeping with Von Hammer's attempts to maintain honor even in the hellish events of World War I, Christmas with the Super-Heroes #2 has him visit an enemy field hospital on, well, Christmas. Even as he realizes everyone there is just itching to kill him, he drops a bag of vital supplies, and when an idealistic pilot attempts to kill him, a sour, bitter veteran stays his hand, and allows Von Hammer to leave unmolested.
• Tear Jerker: The death of Von Hammer's mascot/puppy Schatzi. It traumatized a lot of kids during the comic's original run.
• Wangst: Von Hammer's guilt-ridden monologues.
