Golden Legacy Illustrated History Magazine Vol. 15: Ancient African Kingdoms

This is a vintage educational comic book titled 'Golden Legacy Illustrated History Magazine', specifically Volume 15 focusing on 'Ancient African Kingdoms'. Published by Fitzgerald Pub. Co. Inc. in 1972, this staple-bound periodical features a vibrant, multi-color cover illustration depicting various elements of African heritage, including a central royal figure, warriors with shields, a large ceremonial mask, a lion, and a camel caravan. The top header is yellow with bold black lettering, displaying the original 25-cent price point. The magazine is constructed from standard comic-weight paper of the era. Regarding its condition, the item shows visible signs of age and handling, including minor blunting and creasing at the corners, light foxing or discoloration along the white borders, and some shelf wear consistent with a 50-year-old paper collectible. There is a small tear or nick visible on the top right edge. As a piece of Bronze Age educational media, it represents a significant effort in the 1960s and 70s to bring Black history to a young audience through the medium of sequential art. The craftsmanship is typical of 1970s commercial printing, with high-quality line work and hand-separated colors.
