*Paull* said,
I have here a very nice copy of the scarce and sought after POCKET GUIDE TO CHINA which contains an 11 page mini-comic by Milton Caniff (creator of Steve Canyon and Terry and the Pirates) titled "HOW TO SPOT A JAP". Published by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1942 for the War and Navy Departments. Only available to servicemen in the Pacific during World War II, not for civilians. Story is focused on determining the difference between Japanese and Chinese when experienced in the field of battle. Controversial and ridden with stereotypes.

75 pages total. Pages are in excellent condition. Only slight wear to top and bottom of spine. Has name of serviceman who owned this book on front cover. Overall a really nice copy, better than most copies I've seen. This book is CGC-able and other copies have been graded.

CGC/Valiant posted some of this kind of material in this thread: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7526016&Board=15
I knew them quite well… problem is I don’t like reprints. More or less the originals are "affordable" so I could think about them but there are other things which interest me more.
For example, I would favor some Spirou year runs from 1943-44 over the Bête books, or some other scarcer works by Calvo. \:\)

I love Calvo. His art was just amazing!
Here's the cover to la bête est morte (the beast is dead):
Calvo actually drew the book during the German occupation of France and it was first published a few month after the liberation. He worked on the book for around 5 years.

Declaration of Independence, for the "everyone wins a trophy!" crowd:
"You suck, George! Get offa my lawn!"
Imagine how much simpler that would have been.

I play a game with people I don't know online. Place two works of art next to each other and ask if it's "Theft, Swipe, Homage or Coincidence."
The time between when the works was created is key to the artists motivation as well as when the art was made. People in the past would think a long enough time has passed and no one will remember. What with the vast internet archives and the, "Gotcha" mentality, one cannot get away with theft anymore. Eventually, maybe after the arti...
