Its almost a coin toss as to which is worse: this cover or the aforementioned Captain Marvel cover. While seeing the Golden Age Captain Marvel, one of the most popular American heroes in his day, crush the Japanese with his fist is pretty traumatising, seeing Superman, the most iconic American Superhero of all time, encourage Americans to slap a jab is pretty atrocious. The truth is that everyone back in the Golden Age of Comics was patriotic; thats how characters like Captain America came to be. Nevertheless, these covers are a fine reminder that there is a thin line between patriotism and racism.
