Description
"Blood Is the Code!" by Bob Haney, January 1972.

The Unknown Soldier's torture-coerced information convinces the Japanese that their code is secure. They use the code to notify their bases that Admiral Yamamoto will conduct an inspection tour.

Panel busting continues in the page. I particularly like the telegraph key splitting the bottom panel into a triangle, with a Japanese naval officer breaking the triangle's border.

The layout is amazing with Kubert's expertise in compelling story and overall page design.  The realism is very strong with the gaunt POW and the Japanese torturer not at all a caricature like you'd expect.  Less war propaganda and more drama in the presentation.

Interesting and bold layout and yet the storytelling really flows here. A master at work.
