The Art quality of this is quite high. We have Reed Crandall [signed] Fran Matera [signed] and Lloyd Ostendorf All excellent. Unfortunately, as is too often the case, in the 'Additional Information' box there are no Artist identificatiions, so the other artists, all excellent are unidentified.

I love how it's the Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact - but then the first story is about how commies have taken over the USA!!!
   By
Yes. Having my country invaded by The Russian Commies wasn't my idea of "Fun" back in The 1950s, which is precisely why Canada was the driving force behind Operation Musk Ox, covered later in this very same issue of "Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact". Only, not attending a Catholic School and not being raised in a Catholic home, I never saw this book until it was uploaded here on CB+. Although, to be honest, I'd rather read Catholic Comics from that period, as they contained "Pudgy Pig" stories.
   By
This particular comic was already on here, uploaded several years ago. Is this a different version, higher resolution, a compilation or something?
   By
This is a little higher resolution than the earlier one scanned by Catholic University.
