Description: TREASURE CHEST OF FUN & FACT Vol 8 #3 | 1952 Comic | Catholic Religion | George A. Pflaum *See photo for condition*Additional photos available upon request Overview: The Treasure Chest of Fun & Fact was an American Catholic comic book that began publication by George Pflaum of Dayton, Ohio, with a cover date of March 12, 1946. It was a response to the undesirable comic books of that time with the intent to use the comics format to teach tenets of both Catholic faith and American patriotism. It was generally not available for sale at newsstands but rather via distribution through the Catholic parochial school system. The Treasure Chest had a run of 508 issues between 1946 and 1972, and made great use of non-fiction subjects. Most of the stories promoted themes of faith, family, and patriotism and related to sports, school, and Saints. Contributors included Frank Borth, Bob Powell, and Reed Crandall. In the 1960s the comic began to fade and by the time it ceased publication with Volume 27, No. 8, July (Fall) 1972, it was being published by T.S. Denison and Company in Minnesota. Later Pflaum changed its name to Pflaum Standard and T.S. Denison became part of Instructional Fair to form Instructional Fair/T.S. Denison.
