Along the lines of shocking stories:

I think it was in Jungle comics #1---it was the BW reprint that I was reading at the time--maybe 15 yrs ago.

'Twas a story about a couple of white guys who fly into a jungle and basically steal diamonds from a community of natives....and they were the heroes, of the story [the thieves].  There seemed to be no idea that they were stealing from the rightful owners of the jewels--as if the natives were too dumb to realize how valuable the jewels were outside the jungle--and therefore they had no right to them.

I'll have to go back and read it again to be sure I read it right---but it was a strange story--though I did understand it was 1940 or whatever, and PC wasn't even a term yet.

WWIII will be an all-out nuclear war, and I believe it's coming soon with US vs. Muslims.

Barefoot Gen is a good Japanese anti-WWII comic.

War is hell.
Civilians are ALWAYS targeted in modern warfare.

Actually Tokio was an alternate spelling for Tokyo then.  It's pretty much fallen into disuse now.  See for example:

Beijing used to be Peking and before that Peiping. Etc.
