The Maniaks!


Probably trying to capitalize on the popularity of television's The Monkees, DC created their own fictional rock band: "The Maniaks." With art by Mike Sekowsky and Mike Esposito, The Maniaks appeared in three issues of DC Showcase in 1967.

Enemy Ace

Enemy Ace (Hans von Hammer) first appearance was in DC's Our Army at War #151 (Feb. 1965). He went on to appear in Star Spangled War Stories as a regular feature from #138 to #150. Von Hammer appeared in various DC war titles over the years. He was also the subject of two graphic novels: Enemy Ace: War in Heaven and most notably Enemy Ace: War Idyll by George Pratt.

Originally created by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Joe Kubert, Enemy Ace has also been depicted over the years by artists such as Russ Heath, Neal Adams, Howard Chaykin, and Frank Thorne.
