classic "Remember Pearl Harbor" Japanese WWII cover
Highest GradedPearl Harbor was an event that altered the course of human history, it was the first time Americans had been attacked on their home soil, and it led to the US finally jumping into WWII and helping defeat the Axis powers that were attempting to take over the world. It was commonplace in propaganda of the time to demonize adversaries with caricatures that would be deemed deeply racist and offensive in the politically correct environment of the modern day, but such tropes were de rigueur during the trying times of the war. This cover by Al Avison continues the tradition of Captain America bashing his country's enemies in the face, and the addition of fangs to his Japanese opponent was sure to dehumanize the enemy and make it easier for people to accept the casualties that were piling up in the Pacific theater. The addition of the "Remember Pearl Harbor" logo on this cover makes this a special collectible both for its relative scarcity and its patriotic fervor.
This "Remember Pearl Harbor!" Cover by Al Avison showcases Cap and Bucky in a classic WW II cover. Canary yellow backgrounds make the heroes and villain literally pop off the cover! When you think of memorable Cap war covers #13 always comes to mind! Oh by the way, did we mention, this is the HIGHEST GRADED COPY!!!! Why are you still reading this, you should be bidding by now!
