Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact #17 [243]

In "The Lady Is 152 Feet Tall," a 1958 gem from the Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact series, reporter Chuck finds himself in the middle of a high-stakes drag race when a reckless challenge on a crowded street puts a child in danger. Written by Max Pine and illustrated by Frank Borth, the story captures the tension of a moment that could change everything, all set against the backdrop of early '50s car culture. The dynamic cover by Fran Matera and Wilbur G. Adam adds a touch of playful exaggeration to the already charged scene.
