Remember Me? I'm Still Fighting You

This striking World War II U.S. Navy poster reminds Americans of the continued danger posed by Japan in the Pacific theater. Dominating the design is a menacing Japanese soldier, sword in hand, grinning defiantly beneath the taunt: “…remember me? I’m still fighting you!” Surrounding this central figure are dramatic illustrations of pivotal battles—Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Saipan, and Palau—each reinforcing the memory of surprise attack and the brutal island campaigns that followed. The poster was designed to keep the war effort vivid in the minds of Americans at home, urging continued sacrifice and production until final victory was achieved.The poster was illustrated by John Whitcomb (1906 – 1988), an American artist who produced government-commissioned artwork during the war years. While overshadowed by more commercially recognized illustrators of the era, Whitcomb’s contribution to U.S. Navy propaganda campaigns was significant. His work was characterized by bold, highly expressive imagery and strong narrative clarity, qualities that ensured posters like this one made an immediate emotional impact on their audience. Whitcomb’s designs played an important role in maintaining public focus on the Pacific war, emphasizing both the enduring enemy threat and the need for steadfast resolve on the home front.This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction.
