the killer skies forgive no one who believes himself above god

Welcome to HÖLLENREITER, a fansite for the character Hans von Hammer from DC Comics' ENEMY ACE. My wish for this site is to have an all one stop for fellow fans of some German pilot who really needs to stop drinking so much coffee with booze. You can read about my other wish for the fansite here, if you wish!

Due to my schedule, this will be a slow and careful endeavour, so I ask for your patience and understanding as the site is filled out or the kinks are worked out. The title for this site means "Hellrider" in German, and I took the name from the Judas Priest song of the same name.

Look, the rest of 2024 turned into a crapfest, so that's why the site got "abandoned"...And 2025 isn't faring so hot thus far. Besides the flaming trash can of...everything...my personal life has turned into that of a caregiver's life. Which means that if I was tired 80% of the time before, now it's pretty much 100%. This will unfortunately be the case for the next few months. No idea when I'll be able to touch this site enough to do a meaty update.

My original plan last year was to edit and finish the Frank Thorne pages, and create sort of an extra subsection that's more "behind the scenes" for certain comics. I found some neat Guns of the Dragon extra materials, thus the idea. I still don't know if I'm going forward with that, because one of the worries I had was that the site was starting to get too big and/or messy, and I'd like to prevenr that. But we'll see.

In any case, I DID edit the index/warning page. I wish the Southern Law Poverty Center had a similar hate symbol database as the ADL does, but it is what it is.

Good luck to everyone out there, and may the skies treat you nicely. We need it.

WOW SIX MONTHS SINCE MY LAST UPDATE.

In my defense, I've had other priorities. This fansite is a hobby, after all. That said, I do apologize for not updating at least this page to explain why. BUT I've found lots of good stuff to show--so much so, I have to divide the updates XD

One of those updates involved cross-referencing The Enemy Ace Archives and despite having read them so many times...I totally forgot they had biographies of Kanigher and Kubert. So today I decided to transcribe those and fill up the creators page! It's still a WIP but at least it's a good start. Plus, some really fun pictures for the both of them. I'll be posting the Kanigher one later in full since it's a Comics Journal cover and there's a Kanigher interview in it. Wooo, more transcription!

The other update for today is minor changes to the code--I decided to use Tobii for the pages that have very few images, so right now I've switched Nanogallery for Tobii on the Truman page. Oh, and I've added two more links to the DC Comics section of the Links Page! Sites dedicated to Young Justice (the original comic) and Hourman. Also added another buddy to my buddy section \ o /

That will be it for today. More shall come later!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Oops.

Well, I've been a little busy, so haven't been able to do much. However, I finally updated my links page with some more fansites for Huntress, Booster Gold, Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and Supergirl--while finally making a page for The Comic Reader fanzine issue where Hans appears on the cover. You can access it through the Miscellaneous section. I uploaded it to the Internet Archive too. Huzzah!

Also took out the banner for the NerdListings. They never got back to me and turns out that sadly, they're closing up shop in July of this year.
