Good to see Bob Fujitani at his best here. (But, as half-Japanese, how did he manage to caricature the Japanese?) A pity he wasn't given a Black Cat strip.

" The summit of Suribachi, which has an elevation of 528 feet, marks the island of Iwo Jima's highest point. The American flag was raised there on 23 February 1945" this book is cover-dated July 1945, which means it was could have been written and drawn by May 1945. So the photograph was already iconic by then. I wonder if this is the first homage use of the image?
