About this Item

Collection of political/propaganda cartoons from World War Two, many with offensive caricatures of the Japanese - the few Chinese depicted, as allies, are not treated unsympathetically, nor are European enemies distorted so harshly. The title character was a common Japanese soldier usually depicted offering a high-ranking officer a sword for ritual suicide, asking "Now?" Manning was a Pulitzer Prize-winning Phoenix cartoonist active from 1926-1971, perhaps best-remembered for his popular account of cactus types. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured; stated first edition (first printing), published October, 1944. Light wear to book, base of spine bumped; jacket shows some edgewear, short tears & chips, internal mends with nonarchival but not horrible tape. Text clean; no names or marks; 127 pages, most with a cartoon on each, brief intro by Manning. Size: Octavo. Seller Inventory # w0625
