Up now, JVJ's copy of Prize's Treasure Comics #2. Again, I am doing limited edits at this point, and getting the books up on the boards for consumption in raw format.
I know that I had given some indication of sequence on which might be next from JVJ's box o' goodies, but the cover for this one pulled me in.
Jon did such a nice job of editing his half of this series, that this book may look dull in contrast. Fear not. I will return to edit this issue in due course.
Geo (RIP):
Thanks for the up BB.

That's the first issue of "Treasure Comics" I've ever read and it has some interesting features. I wasn't aware that Prize also used the public domain Paul Bunyan character, and the Dr. Styx story shows that the writer was well versed in the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Loved the artwork on the Gor story, and most of the artwork in general. One or two stories would benefit from having the scans lightened a bit, so I'm glad you will edit it some more later. That is a nice cover. Thanks for turning me on to the title; if I had seen any issues before I probably dismissed them as issues of the Catholic giveaway, Treasure Chest.

By the way: Treasure Chest was not a giveaway comic. Kids in my Catholic grammar school had to buy them by subscription through the classroom teacher. I had to forego that pleasure because my parents couldn't afford it.

That I did not know. I'm not Catholic and came from a community that didn't have a Parochial school until I was in high school. Both of my nephews went to grade school there and they were under the impression that Treasure Chest was a giveaway book, but that you had to be in Parochial school to receive copies. I assumed they knew what they were talking about, especially since both Lutheran and Baptists did hand out cartoonish pamphlets to their Sunday School classes which appeared to be free, but were undoubtedly paid for by the respective churches. Reality punctures another myth.
