Sparkler Comics #119 (1954) delivers a quirky, globe-trotting mix of history and oddity, weaving together the legacy of Commodore Matthew C. Perry, the unique Balinese ritual for newborn twins, the first U.S. coin, and the astonishing feats of professional pedestrian Edward Payton Weston—all anchored by the daring voyage of Captain Joshua Slocum and the surprisingly enduring life of a lobster. Written by Elsie Hix and brought to vivid life with Ernie Bushmiller’s expressive cover art, this issue feels like a forgotten scrapbook of the world’s most curious facts.
