Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact, Vol. 25, No. 11 (February 26, 1970)

This is a vintage issue of 'Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact,' an educational Catholic comic book series. The cover features an illustration by artist Lloyd Ostendorf, signed in the lower right corner, depicting a historical stagecoach scene with two horses (one chestnut, one black), a driver in a tricorne hat, a passenger, and a young boy running alongside. The color palette is vibrant, utilizing primary reds and yellows against a landscape with a church steeple. This issue is dated February 26, 1970, and is priced at 15 cents. Physically, the magazine shows signs of age typical for its 50-plus years, including moderate spine stress, softening of the corners, and slight edge wear along the right side of the front cover. The paper appears slightly oxidized but stable. Notably, the comic does not carry the typical Comics Code Authority seal, as it was a religious/educational publication distributed primarily through parochial schools, making it distinct from mainstream superhero comics of the era. The craftsmanship reflects late Silver Age/early Bronze Age printing standards on newsprint with a heavier glossy cover stock.
