Description The finished or at least mostly-finished spitfire promo piece. Hans being all emo-ish, cause he is pretty much emo for the entire manga.

All 80 pages of it. *whew!*

Why do we fight? Why do we pick up our guns and our fists and kill? "Spitfire" is a story about a WWII RAF pilot who has a secret in his past - a pilot who has seen the horrors and destruction of Nazi Germany, and who wants to do what is "right." But how does one do "right" in a world so full of wrong - no matter which side of the war you saw, everyone was doing both good and evil - to "destroy" and to "protect" are not so different, for each is just the taking of a life.

So why does a scared little 20-year-old put on his goggles and fly his spitfire?

Why would you?

I like the line running on his sleeve for some reason. It grabbed my attention right away.

The way you colored the sky looks amazing. And I'm also very curious about the comic now.
