TARGET COMICS "SpaceHawk and the Concealed Bomber"

In the previous issue of Target Comics, SpaceHawk had been assigned by Uncle Sam himself to...
...but this danger wasn't extraterrestrial, though it looked like it was!
Note: this was published in 1941...before Pearl Harbor...so we weren't at war...yet!
Though their nationality is never specified, these characters are caricatures of Asians...obviously the Japanese, who were invading and occupying neighboring countries in the Pacific!





Written and illustrated by series creator Basil Wolverton, this tale from Novelty Publications's Target Comics V2N2 [#14] (1941) followed a change in concept for the book as all the various series' characters, no matter where or when they took place, became protectors of America from threats from other countries...which were thinly-disguised versions of Germany, Japan, and Italy!
