Terry tells you "How to spot a Jap."
Comics legend Milt Caniff produced this 11-page comic for the US Army's Pocket Guide To China, a book distributed to soldiers stationed in the Pacific theater during World War II. The comic was removed from later editions of the book.A fascinating and essential bit of comics history, even if it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
