Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact, Vol. 25, No. 7 (December 11, 1969)
This is a vintage issue of 'Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact', an educational Catholic comic book published by Geo. A. Pflaum. The cover art, signed by the renowned Marvel artist Joe Sinnott, depicts a historical scene of French soldiers or explorers in Egypt discovering a stone tablet resembling the Rosetta Stone against a backdrop of pyramids. The publication is a standard format comic book with a 15-cent cover price. Physically, the item exhibits light wear consistent with age, including mild age-toning of the paper and minor blunting at the spine corners. The color registration remains bright, with vibrant yellows, blues, and reds. The construction consists of a softcover paper wrap with a stapled spine. Notable features include the prominent 'Treasure Chest' masthead and the volume/issue numbering (Vol. 25 No. 7). This periodical was common in Catholic parochial schools during the mid-20th century. The quality of the draftsmanship is high, reflecting Joe Sinnott's professional background in the comic industry. No major tears or water damage are immediately visible on the front cover, though the spine shows some slight stress lines.
