And now, for a change of pace, an adorable, warm-hearted Enemy Ace tale for the whole family

...

YOU'RE A PUPPY!

*whew*

Von Hammer and his squad come across a burning town, destroyed by the Brits.

The English ambush them through the smokescreen of the burning town.

Hans von Hammer sharing his grim determination with a puppy = The best fucking thing you will ever see. Just tear your eyeballs out right now, you won't top this.

Von Hammer manages to destroy the war wagon, stranding the British fighters. They're forced to land and surrender.

Schizo much? "The war will kill us all. COME ON, PUPPY, WE'RE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE!!"

Von Hammer is ordered out on another mission.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Okay, Garth Ennis, Mark Millar, Warren Ellis, you can stop trying to be edgy and shocking now. Robert Kanigher killed a puppy in the 1970s, in a comic book for kids. Top that shit.

Unsurprisingly, von Hammer doesn't take it well.

...I'll be hugging my dog if anyone needs me.

THEY PICK NOW FOR A COMIC COVER NOT TO LIE? THEY HAD TO PICK NOW?

ETA: Because we all need it...

Is this story posted anywhere else on the 'net that you know of? Because I want to read it, 'cause it's kind of famous as Enemy Ace stories go, but my computer is playing its usual jolly games, and stretching two-thirds of the panels into unreadable taffy-shapes. Is there a comics blog or something that has it posted?
That being said, what I CAN see looks pretty heartbreaking. As a dog person myself, that 'puppy falling out of the cockpit' moment would be about the most horrifying moment of my life. And judging by Von Hammer's expression, he IS a dog person, so he feels the same way. Poor puppy...

	Caleb at everydayislikewednesday did a post - it has most of the same scans, but not in color. He fully recaps what's missing as well. http://everydayislikewednesday.blogspot.com/2008/04/killer-skies-claim-their-cutest-victim.html (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
