SOLD! POCKET GUIDE TO CHINA - Milton Caniff US military racist comic 1942 comic book

[*paull*]

I have here a fine copy of the scarce and sought after POCKET GUIDE TO CHINA which contains an 11 page mini-comic by Milton Caniff (creator of Steve Canyon and Terry and the Pirates) titled "HOW TO SPOT A JAP". Published by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1942 for the War and Navy Departments. Story is focused on determining the difference between Japanese and Chinese when experienced in the field of battle. Controversial and ridden with stereotypes. These were intended for use by servicemen/personnel overseas, not for domestic use.

 

75 pages total. Pages are in excellent condition. Only very minor edge/spine wear and light soiling on front cover. This copy has the signature on the cover that reads "Hung-Li Chan", perhaps a soldier stationed in the Pacific, or someone attached to the U.S. military during WWII. No writing other than name on cover, no tears, no loose pages. Overall a very nice copy. This book is CGC-able and other copies have been graded.

 

SOLD!
