Campaign Idea

[Poochnboo]

I was looking though the internet at some old comics. I came across a favorite of mine when I was a kid. Enemy Ace. Drawn by one of my favorite comic book artists, Joe Kubert, it centered around a fictitous WW1 ace named Hans Von Hammer. "The Hammer of Hell." 

Great stories and art. Had every edition. If you've never heard of it, go look it up. Remember that this was fairly ground breaking stuff, at the time, because no one had done a graphic novel about "the other side" before. 

He was based on Richtofen, so of course, so he flew a red Triplane. Many years later he was brought back. The book was called, "War in Heaven." Von Hammer is now in his forties but rejoins the German Air Force to lead a fighter squadron on the eastern front. He hates Hitler and the Nazis, but he is talked into coming back by an old friend. The first thing he does, is paint his '109 bright red.

Later, he flies a red ME-262.

This could be fun. Combine the WW1 and WW2 planes into a single campaign. It wil work better, of course, when more First War airplanes are released, but this could be something that people may enjoy. Just fun. You don't have to worry too much about historical accuracy....it's a comic book! Well okay, yeah, they call them graphic novels, now. 

Now that I think of it, it would make a great movie! With Hollywood into making all the comic book heros into films, there has to be a way to fit Von Hammer into the DC universe. They had Wonder Woman in WW1. Why not?

Anyway, this could be a good idea if done right.
