DESCRIPTION
Slight Restoration, long piece tp back of spine, new staples
WWII Japanese bondage cover by Schomburg; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)Captain America Comics #31 is graced with a Schomburg cover that covers all of the bases, explosive mayhem, maiden in bondage, with Cap and Bucky in the center of it all, while the interior story features the gruesome Fungi, a precursor to the Man-Thing. This Pacific theater battle cover was typical of the period, as the demonization of Axis foes was all the rage in the comic industry, the grotesque caricatures of Japanese soldiers may seem crass to the modern viewer, but during the emotionally pitched era of WWII, covers like this, by GA wunderkind Alex Schomburg, helped raise morale and steel the populace for the unpleasant struggle raging across the planet.
