@rcouto What this cover would represent, exactly: a camp in Japan?
I’m very interested in this theme depicted in comics for an ongoing research that I have, especially where historical events outside the specific war fights are taking place.

To me, the cover plays into the fear that the Japanese were going to invade the American mainland.  The desert is the American southwest?(shrug)

The Japanese held approximately 130,000 allied civilians prisoner during the war, sometimes alongside military POWs, sometimes separately. Many of the camps were in the former Dutch East Indies ( Indonesia) and the Philippines.

Interesting.  The Fighting Yank also has a camp type cover, I wonder about Schomburg himself.  Was he the only one doing these types of covers?  Did he know stuff? How much did the general public know about these during actual war time?   Today's editors would probably think twice before signing off on the print run for this kind of stuff.  No grey areas during these times.
