3. I agree, I inherited a very large book of every Flash Gordon...
...comic ever printed and one day (about 15 years ago, it's been a while) I decided to read them all. It was really interesting how Ming The Merciless' henchmen changed from fairly average bad guys to stereotypes of Japanese (exaggerated slanted, squinty eyes, buck teeth, etc.) during the war.

During wartime, everything in a culture is touched. Sometimes obviously, sometimes, less obviously so.
