I don't buy comics at the shop or conventions anymore.  All my comics these days are in the form of scans like those shared here on DCM.  But since last December 2017 I've been digging more into the history of comics and just lately into the history of fandom and retailers.

I have heard of the Arthur Church/Mile High Pedigree and the Lamont Larson Collection but until today I'd never heard of the Okajima Pedigree.  These books were bought by a young lady from at least August 27th 1943 to March 29th 1945.  You can read about ALL it here.

The reason I bring it up here in this particular topic on DCM is these books were bought in Arizona’s Gila River Japanese Incarceration Camp.  Pictures of this and other Japanese Incarceration camps can be seen above is pictures #6 to 13.

Of the pedigree stories this is easily my favourite.

What it says: What to Do — What Not to Do
        This war is not like any other. It may reach your street -- your home -- at any moment. You may be fighting in this war tomorrow, or next week, or next month. Your government asks of you one simple thing, but one very important thing ... Learn and remember what to do if enemy planes and bombs come.
