About the Series:

Published from 1946 through 1972 by the George A. Pflaum Publishing Company, Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact was a biweekly comic distributed in Catholic schools. The series combined wholesome adventure stories, moral lessons, biographies, science, history, and religious themes, offering students an entertaining yet educational comic alternative.

Because these comics were distributed directly to schools rather than through traditional comic shops or newsstands, surviving copies are scarcer in the collector’s market today.

About These Issues:

• #382 (1965): Mid-run issue featuring a mix of educational adventure stories, religious content, and inspirational tales.

• #392 (1965): Another school-year issue continuing the blend of moral storytelling and historical biography.

Collector Highlights:

• 2-issue lot from a historically significant series

• Distributed only in Catholic schools, making them uncommon and collectible

• Popular with collectors of religious comics, educational comics, and 1960s Americana

• Both copies in FN- condition — moderate wear but solid, complete, and attractive for their age

Condition Notes:

• FN- (Fine Minus)

• Moderate cover and edge wear

• Staples intact, interiors clean

• Both bagged & boarded, from a smoke-free collection

This Treasure Chest lot is an excellent addition for collectors of educational, vintage, and religious-themed comics or those seeking rare runs outside mainstream Marvel and DC.

Each issue’s value has been verified through the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide (VFM) for collector confidence.
