rob!- Well, he IS a Japanese officer. And it IS WWII, so no.
I have several other panels from this storyline featuring the dialog "The Nips are coming!".
Still, no-one does WWII bigotry like Marvel. Captain America punching Hitler in the face is GREAT but the depictions of the Japanese are pretty embarrassing. Who knew their master plan was to sacrifice white women to Buddha?
Before there was Superman or Batman or Spider-Man, there was The Phantom. Playwright and cartoonist Lee Falk introduced The Phantom to the world in 1936.
Since then, The Phantom has run continuously in newspapers around the world, gaining a following in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand. He has spawned films adaptations, paperback novels, an animated television show and several comic book series.
I have been drawn to the Phantom by his unique backstory-one of the best in sequential media. This blog will let me share with others the exciting world of "The Ghost Who Walks, Who Cannot Die...The Phantom!!"

Er, I'm sure they mean "the jap" in the nicest way possible.

"Moving like a fish." I love that.
ReplyDeleteMykal- Yes. A two-legged fish with a big knife.
