"Famed German fighter pilot Hans von Hammer has learned his lesson all too well, in countless battles high above the blasted fields of World War I Europe. Feared by his own men almost as much as he is hated by the Allies, Rittmeister von Hammer wages a lonely war from the cockpit of his crimson Fokker triplane, struggling to fight with honor amid the savagery of modern combat. But honor can be an expensive luxury in the unforgiving skies where the slightest mistake can bring a swift and merciless death-- a fate that will, inevitably, claim even the Hammer of Hell himself!"--P. [4] of cover.

Joe Kubert sealed his reputation as one of the greatest American comic-book cartoonists of all time with the four-color adventures of Sgt. Rock of Easy Company, Enemy Ace, and Tarzan, all done for DC Comics during the 1960s and 1970s (themselves already the subject of archival editions)... but he had been working in comics since the 1940s. In fact, young Kubert produced an exciting, significant body of work as a freelance artist for a variety of comic book publishers in the postwar era, in a glorious variety of non-super hero genres: horror, crime, science fiction, western, romance, humor, and more. For the first time, 33 of the best of these stories have been collected in one full-color volume, with a special emphasis on horror and crime.

One of the most colorful super-hero teams of the early 1960s, the Metal Men are six shape-shifting robots whose personalities are based on their metals: Hot-tempered Mercury, timid Tin, thick-headed Lead, etc. Invented by eccentric scientist Dr. Will Magnus, the team is ready to give their all - including their artificial lives - to protect mankind. In these tales, never before reprinted in color, the Metal Men take on the Gas Gang, including Helium, Oxygen, Chloroform and more, save lives at the "Playground of Terror," try to stop the deadly rain of "The Missile Men," and battle Chemo, a giant, human-shaped vat filled with deadly chemicals.

"Created in the laboratory of the brilliant Dr. Will Magnus, the Metal Men were a most unlikely group of heroes--a team of robots outfitted with a revolutionary device that (unintentionally) gave them human emotions. Assembled in this hardcover volume are the earliest escapades of Doc Magnus and his robot friends: flirtatious Platinum, shy Tin, hot-headed Mercury, dull-witted Lead, powerful Iron and brilliant Gold, reprinted as they originally appeared in the 1960s."--Amazon.com.
