Remember Pearl Harbor (Street & Smith, 1942) — FN 6.0
Golden Age Wartime One-Shot • Binder Shop Art • 64-Page Patriotic Epic
A striking piece of WWII home-front Americana — Street & Smith’s 1942 Remember Pearl Harbor, a standalone graphic retelling of the attack, produced mere months after December 7th. Jack Binder (and the Binder Shop) deliver explosive, oversized imagery: Uncle Sam striding across the Pacific, swarms of enemy planes, battleships burning in the harbor — all framed as a call to rally the nation.
Inside, the book functions as both comic and documentary: Otto Binder’s script mixes illustrated sequences, text-heavy pages, maps, and patriotic essays designed to inform and inflame. Additional stories like “Our Fighting Men,” a Jack Farr piece, and Winsor McCay Jr.’s three-page “Johnny Remembers Pearl Harbor” make this one of the more historically fascinating wartime one-shots published during early 1942.
A pure artifact of the wartime print era — bold, sensational, urgent — and one of the more visually arresting pieces of Golden Age propaganda.
Extremely solid copy for this fragile wartime paper stock.
Front cover retains bright, saturated color with only light surface wear and a touch of fading toward the upper border. Spine is intact with moderate stress but no splitting; staples firm. Light corner blunting and minor edge wear consistent with the grade.
