CM_Remember_Pearl_Harbor_splash
A glaringly patriotic spread from the wartime comic, Remember Pearl Harbor.

This amazing comic, resplendent in its symbolism, was printed shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor of December 7, 1941. It retold the story of the assualt in comic form with a smattering of text. It was published by Street and Smith in early 1942, and featured the artwork of Jack Binder.

Considered wholly and appropriately patriotic in its day, it would no doubt today be scorned as propaganda in various corners.
