Mart Bailey art. 3 pages of Ogden Whitney art. Beginning with a cover showing a tentacled Tojo getting fried by a U.S. Marine's flame thrower, this undated World War II era comic is chock-full of the U.S. anti-Japanese sentiment of that era. A bit larger than the typical comic book at 7-1/2 x 10-3/4 inches; content is a mix of color comic book war stories and black-and-white text and photo articles covering the Marines in action. Cover price $0.10.
