  • Our Own Baedeker - from the New Yorker.

    A fun world war two era travel book for the world done solely for comic purposes complimented by comic maps and illustrations done by illustrator Carl Rose. Numerous single page maps are ornate little pictorial maps that play off regional culture, and war ear tensions. Italy, Germany, Japan all have a lot of war allusions, complete with the title cartouche for Japan showing a sketch of a Japanese royal bowing to General MacArthur.
