If you read this collection (Treasure Chest) from the beginning it's really worth paying attention to the series of "Chuck White". It gets better and better as you progress into the story. I was not expecting much but it's a good little "coming of age" story about a boy with a troubled family that gets involved with bad things but it's really not bad inside. I haven't finished, but I am pretty sure he "redeems himself" in the end. :-)

Clearly made to teach some morals to catholic boys in US, in the 40's. It might look preachy at first sight, but it reaveals itself to be an entertaining little saga.
It's well written and the art is average for the time.
It has some kind of "twist" in every episode which adds some points to it.

I've always liked those humorous Graham Hunter covers ever since I first came across them on the GCD a few years back... and yes, Chuck White is a good series.  I happened to get interested in the multi-part "Story of Glass" while thumbing through TC #v2#3 (the October 1, 1946 issue) here on CB+... I found the cover rather interesting for some reason... and stumbled across the "White" saga as well. 

I found myself going back a few issues to read the characters first episodes and then followed along while finishing the glass piece.  Although religious in content and perspective, it was still a rather engaging and entertaining story... at least for the few installments I happened to read. 

As I've said before, it's one of the nice things about CB+ (and DCM to a lesser degree)... they host ALL types of GA comic books and related ephemera, not just the more controversial stuff.  :)

Eh... before anyone reads into it, I should probably clarify here that in the above post I'm NOT saying that the cover to TC v#02 #16 is one of those "humorous Graham Hunter covers" of which I speak.  :-X :)
