Hi Doc, I guess I made it too. I hope you like
the Blue Beetle because I have a number of covers of
the Dan Garret Blue Beetle that I can scan and add.
How would you prefer the albums to be
say
character driven in that there would be an album of Captain
Atom, one for Thunderbolt, one for Fighting Five ormore
generalized. Of course there would have to be one called
Bullseye. Let me know how you would like it to go and I'll
see what I can come up with. Man, I love these clubs.

Re: Separate character-driven albums: That's a
great idea! I'm glad you have the Dan Garrett covers...
I only own one of the 1965 series, and only one of
the 1940s Fox series, so I'd love to see more of
those covers...
I love Clubs like these, too.
And, y'know, I was thinking about it recently... Most
of the greatest stuff done on the Internet has been
done in the last two years! Can you believe it? I was,
frankly, surprised at how recent many of these clubs had
been founded, and was surprised that there was NO club
for Charlton, the Seven Soldiers of Victory, or even
Captain Carrot and his amazing Zoo Crew! (All of which
I've since founded...)
We live in interesting
times, my friend, as the Chinese proverb says... I'm
just hoping that the combined knowledge and experience
of the members of this club and the others (I'm
thinking of the Hangman/MLJ club as well) will bring up a
lot of information about these great Silver Age and
Golden Age characters and comics. And that's why I
appreciate the older members of these clubs, who bought
these comics firsthand... Most of my comics have been
bought secondhand in backissue bins...
The
Fighting Five and the monster comics, Konga and Gorgo, are
the Charlton comics I'm most curious about at the
moment... Does anyone have any info on them?

Hi, just dropping in!
One of the oldest
comics I have in my collection is a dog-eared copy of
Judomaster. Can't recall the issue number right now, but I
think the story was called "This One's For Pop". Rip
and Tige encountered Rip's old boxing coach, Pop and
saved him from some thugs. There was also a Sarge Steel
backup story.
Was most of Springer's Judomaster
stuff designed so the reader couldn't tell it was
supposed to be set in WW2? The room furnishings and
clothing styles are very 60ish.
So, what did we all
think of Bob Layton's L.A.W. mini series? I thought it
was a fair effort, but seemed a bit "off". Too much
expositional dialog and cramped panel layouts. It does read
better in one sitting rather than one ish a
month.
Can't say as I care much for what Layton did to
Nightshade. And I hate, hate, hate that Ross-designed Cap
Atom costume!
I'm looking forward to seeing
some scans from some of the 60s comics! There is a
definite dearth of Charlton material on the
Web!

Doc, I checked your links to see if I knew of any
you didn't have; unfortunately, I don't know of any
additional ones. Charlton material really is difficult to
find on the web (remarkably, Dell is another company
that is hard to find out anything about), so you're
doing a good thing here by providing another venue for
Charlton material. I'll see what else I can fish up, but
I'm not expecting much luck.
Thanks,
Jon

I've found that I REALLY like Ditko's original
take on one Vic Sage, The Question.
I felt that
the earliest versions read MUCH better than the wordy
soapboxing that appeared in his later work in the
70's.
I wish that I still had the Blue Beetles that Ditko
did, with the question backups...I assert that THOSE
versions of the characters are
DEFINITIVE.
Apparantely, a pro NO LESS than Mr. Frank Miller has stated
that he WILL be USING the ORIGINAL take on the
Question, and I'm REALLY looking FORWARD to
THAT!
Also, at LEAST DC's doing a Millenium Edition of
Mysterious Suspense... :^)

I agree with you. The original Question was
basically a guy who had Steve Ditko's outlook on life: that
there are right things and wrong things. Mr. A (I think
that's his name) was a more extreme version of the
Question, and took this black-and-white perspective even
further.
Denny O'Neil changed the character totally. I liked
that series for a lot of things, but O'Neil really
turned a unique character into another "O'Neil
creation", like he did with Green Arrow. He just made him
deny everything he believed in and changed all his
beliefs to what Denny O'Neil believed in.
Alan
Moore's Rorschach character in WATCHMEN, based on the
Question, was an extreme version of the character, though
taken in another direction. His version was also not
true to Ditko's vision. Thankfully, Moore doesn't "do"
the grim'n'gritty thing anymore...
I'm glad to
hear that Frank Miller will be using Ditko's Question
in that DARK KNIGHT RETURNS sequel. Good to see the
character in any event, but even better to see him done
right. Let's hope he doesn't drop the ball on this
one.
MYSTERIOUS SUSPENSE is going to be a Millennium Edition?
Wow. That IS good news. I haven't read it, but I've
heard that it's considered the GREATEST Question story
EVER, not to mention just plain well-done.

Hercules. Yes, that's right. Hercules. When I was
a kid, I devoured ANYTHING having to do with
mythology, especially Greek, Norse & Egyptian mythology.
Charlton's Hercules was drawn by Sam Glanzman, better known
for his work in the Haunted Tank stories in G.I.
COMBAT.
I think I found them at a rummage sale somewhere.
When I returned later, I found "Modern Comics"
reprints of JUDOMASTER, PEACEMAKER, and CAPTAIN ATOM. It
was a real treat. And who can forget all those
"mystery" comics published by Charlton, which you could
find (at one time) in any 25-cent bin? I used to buy
TONS of 25-cent comics, just to read some rainy
Saturday (although I usually couldn't wait until then to
read them).
HERCULES has always stuck in my
mind, though. It wasn't the most high-quality story, or
anything. It was just something that was there in my
childhood, and I can still appreciate it, if only for that
much.

When I picked out the colors for this Club, I
wanted to use colors seen in the main characters of
Charlton Comics... The red is quite common, seen on
Captain Atom, Thunderbolt, Judomaster, etc. The blue is
even more common, seen on those first two, and then
Blue Beetle and Nightshade, etc. And the brown on the
left side comes from Peacemaker.
The Background
color is a tribute to all the yellowing pages found in
many older comics, especially when it comes to Silver
Age Charlton Comics. I love yellowed, old comics...

I'm dan from the mile high city and I just joined
up. I know some of the people here and I had some
charlton books as a kid so it seemed like a good idea. I
remember blue beetle and cpt. atom and a guy called
thunderbolt and the question and nightshade (?) and a guy
called the prankster. I think there were some other
heros to. I'm in a hurry cause I'm eating lunch but I
don't type to good anyway so get used to it.

Doc,
I rather enjoyed the Charlton Hercules;
he was very faithful to mythology and fitted my idea
of what a demi-god would look like much more than
the Marvel Hercules, who was usually presented as a
second-rate Thor.
The earliest Charlton comics I
recall are a mixture of post-code sanitized horror, war
stories, funny animal humor, westerns, and some off the
wall things like Hot Rod comics. It was easy to spot a
Charlton comic because they didn't trim their pages very
well and there was something about the colors and
printing quality that was a bit different than the other
companies. I remember they had a short-lived hero title,
'Mr. Muscles', when there was a shortage of long
underwear types; Mr. Muscles was a sort of inferior
'Strongman', a series I vaguely remembered from Magazine
Enterprises (I lived in the country and magazines and books
passed from one family to another; consequently, it
wasn't uncommon to trade for fairly old comics, although
newer ones were more greatly prized.
I don't
think I'm headed anywhere with this, but it's been
interesting for me to bring up old memories. I'll drop by
again when I can put down some sort of coherent
statement.
Take care.
Jon

you started yesterday and have already got
9 members I think that's really good. I don't
remember what my first chalton comic was but I remember
blue beetle and captain atom best. Captain atom had a
red and yellow costume that looked good then they
gave him a stupid red blue and silver one and he
didn't last much longer after that. I think the first
charlton books I read were probly war books like fighting
marines.
I thot charlton was second rate until captain
atom and blue beetle came out. I wish they had lasted
longer.

My first Charlton comics were E-Man, can't
remember the numbers, but I am a big John Byrne fan and I
bought them for the Rog 2000 backup stories. To be
honest I thought E-Man was/and is way to silly, but Rog
2000 was pretty cool. I also have a couple of Space
1999 and Doomsday +1's done by Mr. Byrne that I really
like.
Well that's my brush with Charlton,

I think my first where E-man, too. I think his
might've been the first super-hero comic I ever owned. He
might've been a little silly, but I was a little kid at
the time to that suited me just fine. One thing I
always thought was cool about him was that unlike other
space-origin heroes, he wasn't even remotely human. His
natural state was pure energy.

My first experience was actually through the
"Modern Comics" reprints of Charlton, back in the
mid-70's.(anyone remember dem?)I first got them in the local
Pathmark, in 3-packs, then later, K-Mart had 'em 10 FER A
BUCK!!!
To a low-budget fanboy, THIS was a GOOD
ting.
The first books I got were Captain Atom #83, Blue
Beetle #1, I forget the issue of Judomaster I had,
Vengeance Squad(interesting Pete Morisi art), Monster
Hunters(Countess, anyone remember HER?), E-Man #2(of COURSE!),and
some various OTHER books that have faded in me fragile
eggshell-like mind. :^)
Anyone ELSE ever get the Modern
Reprints?

Modern Comics? Yeah, those are most of the Charlton comics I have, and I'm grateful for them. I could always count on finding them in the 25-cent bins... ;)

I've found a motherload of material on Steve
Ditko, which includes a generous helping of his Charlton
work: Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, the Question, and even
a little info on Konga and Gorgo. I've added a link
to this site to the links collection
here.
http://www.interlog.com/~ditko37/ditko.html
Check under "creations" to find the Charlton material
(and if you're a Ditko fan, you'll love the rest of
the site as well).
Enjoy,
Jon

Thanks jon there's cool stuff here. I really like
ditko and I'm going back into that site and read myself
silly. I never heard of konga but I saw an issue of
gorgo once. Those were bad movies but they look like
great comics.

I stumbled across this site while searching for
Lone Ranger material for Golden Agers, but it has some
relevence here as well. Western comics were big from 1948
throught the early 60s, and Charlton took over many
Western titles from Fawcett in 1954. I can remember Rocky
Lane, Sunset Carson and Lash LaRue comics, and actually
looked forward to Lash LaRue issues. Those character
were liscensed to Charlton, but Charlton also had
original western titles. 'Six Gun Heroes' had a nice
masked character, Gunmaster, who actually bridged the
gap between westerns and super heroes (there was a
lot of Green Arrow in the book). Gunmaster even had
his own title for awhile, but the name was altered
and the book was taken over by a character I bet some
of you do remember, Judomaster.
Although
these books are pretty esoteric, I've added this link
to the
collection.
http://www.surfnetinc.com/chuck/comics.htm
Oh, I nearly forgot, Charlton also had a book about a
horse that held on for quite some time,
Fury.
Take care,
Jon

Doc,
I know that cowboys aren't the first
thing that come to mind when you hear the name
Charlton, but they published about the same things everyone
else did in the fifties. I wish I could find some of
their weirder stuff, like Hot Rod comics, but as you
know it's hard to find anything about Charlton period,
let alone what one would chose. I would love to learn
more about Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt, and Peacemaker
but there just doesn't seem to be much information on
them on the web. That's one of the reasons a club like
this is important; Charlton (and other defunct
publishers) should be remembered even if it never was one of
the best publishers, it was one that hung in there
and should be remembered for tenacity, if nothing
else.
Take care,
Jon

Spaceranger, thank for putting the cover scan of
Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt #58 in the club's photo
section. I can't remember having seen that issue. My prime
memory of Thunderbolt is an issue in which he fought
Evila, a better-looking female version of Mole Man. At
the end his Tibetan aide (whose name I cannot
remember) thought that Evila was dead, but Thunderbolt said
something to the effect, "Consider what her name is spelled
backwards. She'll be back again." Anyone know if Evila ever
returned?
Curious,
Jon

Well, my memory is going to hell, but I don't
think I ever saw the DC version of Thunderbolt. The
issue I remember definately had artwork by PAM. I take
it Evila was used in the DC series? That answers my
question about wether she would appear again or not. The
only other character I can remember Thunderbolt
tangling with was The Hooded One.
Is my memory
completely shot? I hope someone else can remember Evila
appearing in a Charlton issue of
Thunderbolt.
Worrying about senility,

Hi Jon, Ithink you're right, what I meant to say
was Evila was in almost every issue of the DC
Thunderbolt. Check the scans I will adding the covers as I
come across them. Whew, I did 18 scans for a variety
of clubs tonight,that along with posting, etc, four
hours.
be sure to check out my

My favorite Charlton title of all time was
Charlton Preimere. I like the Shape among others
and I
liked anthology and showcase type books. In
the same
issue with the Shape there was a weird guy whose name I
can't recall but it may have been
Spookman there was
a third story about three young guys I believe it
was called Trio. That book brings back found members.
That was about the time I tried to break into comics
and Jim Warren rejected my work for being too bloody.
Those were the days.

Elvis,
it was Spookman and I wish there
had been more than just than single story; the
character and his supporting characters were interesting.
The name of the story featuring the three highscool
aged heroes was Tyro Team; one of them, "Creep" as the
other two called him, was a minor telepath.
The
Shape was a charming and witty strip, very much like
Plastic Man in some ways. That was a solid issue; too bad
none of those characters ever appeared
again.
Take care,
Jon

I never saw the dc thunderbolt but
the covers look cool and I see the costume doesn't
have bare legs. Are the dc thunderbolt books any good?
I read some thunderbolt storys when I was twelve or
so and I thought they were allright and had really
cool art. How old are the new books and are they hard
to find? Denver has a lot of comic shops and lots of
bookstores have back issue comics so I can probly find them
I just wonder if I should look.

I didn't pick up any of the L.A.W.
issues but your covers make me curious about a couple of
things: what did the acronym stand for? Who is the woman
with the group? I recognize the five male heroes
(radical revision on Peacemaker I'm assuming but aren't
all Peacemaker revisions radical) and I assume that
must be Nightshade. What the deal there, she looks
completely different.
Thanks in advance,

Yes, that's Nightshade.
<< What the deal

Bear with me, I'm going by memory here...
;-)
In issue # 1, Fate (the Jared Stevens
version)stripped Eve of the Succubus (I think that's the correct
term) that had been the source of her powers. This
somehow had the triple effect of increasing Eve's
dimensional abilities, changing her appearance to this
smokey, see-through look, and robbing her of her
emotions. She was still able to assume her regular form,
which she did to obtain some information from a foreign
offical at a party. Nightshade went through the most
radical changes of all the Charlton characters in the
mini-series.
Some notes on the others:
The new Peacemaker
(sorry, I can't remember the character's name) was a
doctor who had his medical license taken away and now
worked for the government's Peacemaker Project under
Sarge Steel.
Blue Beetle had just blown his
fortune on a redesigned Bug vehicle and was saddled with
a load of guilt over Dan Garrett's fate.
Vic
(Question) Sage is now a TV news anchor.
Captain Atom
spent practically the whole series captured by the bad
guy. When he was finally freed, he adopted the
(godawful, IMHO) costume from Kingdom
Come.
Judomaster had the most interesting development arc, I
think. Rip Jagger had spent the previous several decades
in a time-lost city, immune to the ravages of time.
He was dispatched back to the outside world to deal
with a menace that had its roots in his past. I won't
spoil it for you, but his new costume holds a
clue.
The mini was fairly good. You might want to pick it
up if you can. It was very "talky" and read like a
1980s comic, but it had some interesting stuff in it.
I'm hoping Bob Layton might get a chance to take
another run at these guys
somewhere.

I'd heard somewhere that before they decided that
L.A.W. was going to stand for "Living Assault Weapons"
(ick!), one idea for the name may have been "Last
American Warriors", which sounds better, but doesn't
really make much sense.

I discovered some Charlton hero stuff by Jerry
Ordway this morning. I've added a photo album of
'em.
There's a unused cover for Who's Who #19 which has the
Question on it. A promotional piece of the DCU heroes has
the Beetle and Cap Atom lurking in the background.
And most intriguing of all, a sketch of Nightshade
for a proposed mini series with the Huntress(!). This
is the first I've heard of such a project. Anyone
else ever hear of it
before?

Drool... that was beautiful! I've been a Jerry
Ordway fan since Day One and it was a real treat to see
those sketches, especially of the one of Nightshade...
A Nightshade/Huntress mini? If Jerry Ordway did it,
I'd definitely buy it. I hope they return the
Nightshade to her original costume and powers -- I really
hate the L.A.W. version.

I added a couple of Blue Beetle links. One is a
fairly nice page devoted to Ted Kord. The other is a
real gem devoted mostly to the Golden Age Dan Garrett
Beetle, but includes info on both the early Silver Age
Garrett Beetle and Ditko's version.
Boy, the
Beetle was quite a franchise back in the
40s!

the new blue beetle site is ok but the
golden age blue beetle is great. We've got a link to it
over at golden agers and I've seen it before and I'm
glad it gets around cause it's really good. I think I
remember some old blue beetle reprints from charlton that
were printed before the charlton blue beetle that was
before ditko's beetle. I could be wrong but I think
charlton did blue beetle reprints in the middle of the 50s
just after the comics code started. It could have been
some other company tho'.

I'm confused. I've seen Thunderbunny once before,
in the early 80s in an issue (one of the last) of
Blue Ribbon Comics, from Archie. If the character
appeared in the Charlton Bullseye, how did he wind up
being reprinted by Archie? Does anyone know the story
behind the story?
Take care,
Jon

Hi Jon,
Thunderbunny first came to life in
1977 in the Comic Crusader Storybook published by his
creator,
Mary Greim. He next hopped over to Charlton for at
least two issues of Charlton Bullseye and then hopped
over to Archie for Blue Ribbon #13. THat story was
continued in the Warp Graphics magazine sized Thunderbunny
and changed his uniform from blue to red. I believe
that Marty retained full rights to the character the
whole time. I have five issues featuring Thunderbunny
from the three companies noted above. Just in case you
might be interested, the entire lot, except for Blue
Ribbon #13 will be listed as a lot over at the Ebay
auctions, just search under Thunderbunny or auctions by
SpaceRanger2000.
Which brings up another question. WhY? When I first got
on the net in January, I got the DC message boards
as Space Ranger. When I signed up for Ebay, they
wouldn't let me use that so I became Spaceranger2000, then
when I joined Yahoo, they said that I couldn't use
that and was born Spaceranger3000. Anyway, I wonder if
I am in competition against myself? Or is there
actually
somebody else who likes Space Ranger out there.

I've posted this message over at '7 Soldiers of
Victory' too, so pardon me if it's redundant. Mikel
Midnight has listed both this club and '7 Soldiers' and
put up links to both sites in the latest update to
'Mikel Midnight Golden Age Directory'. He also listed
both clubs and put up links on his Contacts Page
("sites I often visit"). I'd say traffic and membership
at both clubs should increase at both
clubs.

Thanks! I've justed noticed it today. In an
e-mail to Mikel Midnight, I mentioned another club which
in his reply he told me he would be adding as well,
in his next update.
Now -- does anyone have
any ideas for discussion? I'd hate to see this Club
dwindle away as I've seen other clubs do (Starman &
Freedom Fighters clubs, for example -- they need
help!)...

I doubt this will start a discussion, but there
is one Charlton character I'd like to get some
information about, if anyone happens to know. Charlton had a
lot of war comics over the years, most of which were
forgetable, but in either late 1968 or early 1969 they
introduced a character called "The Iron Corporal." I like to
know who were the creators behind the character. This
was a very naturalistic (if not realistic) series
about an Australian corporal fighting in the Pacific
during WW II, the heroics weren't nearly as broad as
those of Sgt. Rock and the DC war books, and the look
of the equipment, uniforms and weapons was dead on.
Does anyone remember the title of the book this
appeared in, who wrote it, or who the artist was? I don't
think the series lasted long, but I might be wrong
about that. I only saw two issues featuring the Iron
Corporal but that doesn't mean there weren't more. I think
this is a fairly obscure character, but I'm hoping
someone remembers him.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
Basically, The Iron Corporal had his
origin in ARMY WAR HEROES #22, by Sam Glanzman. He also
appeared in #23-25. Beyond that, I don't recall a
whole
lot. I'm not even sure if the character was a specific
item when the Charlton material was sold off. Maybe
sine we now have the specific issue numbers and title
someone else can
provide more detail.
Take
care.

Don,
Thanks, just providing the title of
the book is enough information for me that you knew
who was behind the character is a bonus. I would
doubt that anyone was interested in picking up the
rights to the character but who knows, stranger things
have happened.
Thanks again,

Actually, now I have started wondering about
Spookman, was he owned by Charlton? If so, was he sold? If
not, who owns him. I hope to find some time to dig
that issue out but I think that Pat Boyette(?) may
have created him and retained the rights.

Good question, Don. My Overstreet doesn't have
that kind of information, but since Thunderbunny and
Neil the Horse didn't belong to Charlton there is a
possibility that the Shape, Tyro Team, and Spookman may not
have been the property of Charlton either. Tyro Team
had artwork by PAM, and I think you're right about
Boyette on Spookman. I have no idea who did the Shape,
but it certainly wasn't one of Charlton's regular
artists. It would be interesting if all three of those one
appearance characters were still owned by their
creators.

issue of Charlton Premiere in so long I was thinking
the book was actually titled Charlton Bullseye. Odd
that I remember the stories so well after all these
years, but forget the book's title. Pity that none of
these features were ever used again, talk about wasted
potential.

What's the story behind the early-80s? ,
comic-book format , Bullseye ? I was " out of comics " at
the time . I bought , and may still have in
storage/may be getting soon , the mid-1970s " in-house
fanzine " magazine-sized b7w Bullseye .

Walt,
Charlton Bullseye was more-or-less
the Charlton equivalent of something like Brave and
Bold or Showcase or Marvel Premiere back when those
books were a place for try-out features. Some were a
bit odd (like 'Neil the Horse'). It was also the last
gasp for Charlton, so some features that probably
should have had another chance didn't get them.
I
don't really know much about the "in-house fanzine"
never having actually seen a copy, so I'll be glad to
hear what you have to say when you find your
copy.
Take care and good to have you here.

...I DON'T like being called " Walt " ,
INCIDENTALLY !...Of course , the mistake is understandable ,
given my e-dress name...Is the magazine-size " Bullseye
" THAT rare ? I believe there were SEVERAL
issues...It was mostly about the Action Heroes , tho. there
was stuff on then-current Char....It printed ( 'least
one , probably more ! ) some prepared-in-th'-6Ts
"
vault " Blue Beetle stories , by Ditko ,
etc. ( in
b&w ) no " new " stories , don't believe...some fan
art , inc. this Canadian boyo named John Byrne
!...what happened to him ?...I get the impression that th'
comic book " Bullseye " was a sort of " TRIPLE-a " THAT
WOULD print TH' STORREES , BUT PAY TH' ARTEESTSS ONLY
w/300 free copies , or similar ? ( Pleezz 'scyoozzz
typing error 'bove ! ) Did they keep character rights
?
( Greim apparently did ! ) 'Least , for original
characters ? I've seen , in th' ACG Char. reprints , some
anthology-type stories that LOOK , sorta , like 1970s fanzine
fodder...They ones who sold their stories outright , or didn't
buy 'm' back when Charlton folded ?

Waltsland,
Sorry about the name; what do
you want to be called? As far a the b&w Bullseye
goes, it is listed in the 'Overstreet Guide' and
doesn't appear to be rare, although it isn't clear
exactly how plentiful the five issue are. Of the
characters that appeared there, Charlton sold the rights to
Captain Atom, Question, and Nightshade. I suspect they
owned Byrne's 'Doomsday + 1"; I don't know a thing
about 'The Wrong Country' and as you pointed out,
Martin Greim did hold onto the rights to original
characters. I've never seen any of these issue, so I would
appreciate any descriptions you could give.
Take
care,
Jon

" Walter " is just fine . " W . L . " ? " W . L .
L . " ? I assume " The Wrong Country " is one of
those anthol.-stories I was talking about , a fairly
ambitious/long one ? Not HAVING any currently , th'only " 1970s
fanzine fodder " story I can remember much about was a -
possibly entirely silent ? - story that ended in a video
arcade , definite " early 80s " topicality damage there
- I might be running two? stories 2-gether -
Had it 'bout '96 , in an ACG ( whuutt's that company
called now , & what WERE they called B-4 ?
" Doomsday
+ 1 was reprinted - by Fantagraphics ?
- under
some new title like " Doomsday Squad "
( " Posse "
? Heh , heh , heh , heh ! ) , w/one?
prev.-unpublished stooree , I believe , during the
80s ?
Speaking of Charlton ( not- ) PUBLISHED , I saw an ACG?
title , a coupla years ago , of orig.-for-funny-books (
not newspaper reprints )
Hagar The Horrible
material , that'd apparently been prepared and never
published...Details ?
For that matter , during the early-mid 90s
, when Harvey , kind of on its last legs , was
publishing a lot of licsenced cartoon characters , ( Meaning
non-Harvey ones . ) , generally reprinting stuff that other
companies had published before ( Of course , anybody's
version of " BULLWINKLE " becomes Jay Ward Productions'
property , and any
" HUCKLEBERRY HOUND "
Hanna-Barbera's , etc . , I
already know ! ) , they seemed
AWFULLY prone to publish stuff from th' Charlton run of
those characters ! Any ideerrs ? Mebbe the warehouse
for film/proofs those companies drew upon happened to
be where th' Cgar. stuff was...or was filed
alphabetically by th' comp'ny
that had published
it.....................

Walter,
You're into territory with the
reprint material that is unfamiliar to me, but sound
fascinating.
One of the sci-fi fanzines subscribed to by the
University of Wyoming had a favorable review of "The Wrong
Country," which is about all of know of it, never having
actually seen it myself. Mention ACG to me and I have
flashes of Herbie Popnecker, Magicmaster, Nemisis, and
Magic Agent, from the third-rate American Comics Group
(although Herbie was a first-rate and bizarre parody). I
know the company you mean but all I can think of is
AmeriComics, which might not be quite right; I have no idea
who they turned into. You obviously live in an area
with much better access to obscure titles than I do,
but I think almost everyone does. I do remember
Harvey going down by fits and jerks at the end and
putting out all sorts of strange (for them) stuff, some
of which had obviously been printed elsewhere. Keep
talking about this stuff, I find it very interesting and,
with luck, someone else may know more about it. Just
out of curiosity, do you remember Comely Comics and
'Captain Canuck', which showed up and disappeared quickly
in the early 80s? It was a Canadian company and I've
often wondered how long it was around and if it did
anything else.
Thanks,
Jon

One strangie is that Captain Canuck got newsstand
distribution ( for at least one issue ) , in the Seventies ,
maybe in 1973 , or a little later...However , its "
heyday " was in the Eighties independent era...I've seen
little else of it . I'm fairly " Outta Touch " w/most
coichhs now , though I currently " live " in "
cosmopolitan " San Francisco...Presently , I only go ,
irregularly , to one comic store . I get CBG , and they list
the former A-Plus " as ACG now - Thank you ! They're
now , apparently , reprinting Dick Tracy and Terry
And The Pirates stuff , pres. legit. liscenced from
Trib. Media - a step ( or three !!!!! ) up the comix
prestiege scale ( I've SEEN ONE? . ) , plus apparently ,
cont.'ing w/Charlt. , etc. Must go . C-ya !!!!!

Walter,
I saw three or four issues, one of
which was an annual, of Captain Canuck in the early
eighties, then the title just disappeared. Why a Canadien
published book was showing up on whirly-racks in Wyoming I
have no idea. I haven't seen a copy of Comic Buyers
Guide in over ten years and I still miss it. Glad to
learn about the Charlton reprints, I had no idea they
were going on.
Thanks,
Jon

Over at about.com's Comics forum , which I post
on , someone put up a link 2 a " SPACE - 1999 " site
that has ACTUAL Charlton covers , AND , FULL STORIES ,
- text pages , even !!!!!!! - from both th' Char.
color comic ,
and , the black
and white - fully
viewable !!!!!!!!! Staton & Byrne art , Cuti scripts - the
usual gang of idiots !!!!!!!!! ( What's Cuti doing
these days , anyhow ??? ) - Apparently , seperate
(
NON-Charlton ! ) British-market-done stories from the Brit.
weeklys , too !
A different Charlton
non-company-controlled pub-
lishing experience...WHAT WERE THE
CHARLTON
" DAVID CASSIDY " AND " BOBBY SHERMAN "
TITLES ABOUT , ANYHOW ??????? They BOTH ran
(
Something like ! ) 12 bi-monthly issues ,
each - rather
long , at least by the standards of such " fad
"-oriented items - Presumably , at least the first year's
issues must have sold fairly well !!!!! Yes , obviously
, they're NOT th' kinda titles that 11-15-yr.-old "
fans " would tend to pay a whole bunch of attention to
!
Was th' " Bobby " title ( exclusively ? )
an
adaptation of his short-lived
( " Partridge Family "
spin-off ! ) series ,
" Getting Together " ?????????
Was David's title about th' " real " David Cassidy (
telling starry-eyed runaway teenage girls to go home to
their small towns ? ) , presumably ( at least
in
part ) OWNED by D . C ....at least his
likeness/naymee...?...Much like , I assume , the today-in-the-hospital Bob
Hope owns the right to his comic ?

What is the URL for about.com? I would very much
like to see the link you mentioned. I have no idea
what Nick Cuti is doing these days, I don't recall
having seen his name in a good long time. As for what
the Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy titles were
about, I also thought that fell into the "who cares?"
catagories; interesting that those two books lasted that
long. When I was cleaning out my step-daughter's
bedroom prior to selling the house, I found a "Bay City
Rollers" eight page black and white digest-sized comic
that had come out of "Tiger Beat" or some other
magazine; she was around fourteen at the time and I think
her Bay City Rollers phase was when she was around
ten. Needless to say she didn't want to keep the book,
and although I don't usually throw away anything that
resembles a comic book, that particular item went in the
trash. I'll probably hear that it was rare and valuable
now.
Take care,
Jon

Good call, Walt, the Bay City Rollers incident
was in 1983. I remember 'Konga' and 'Gorgo' from when
they were first published. 'Gorgo' wasn't that rich,
but Steve Ditko did an outstanding job of bringing a
personality to Gorgo and his mother, which considering he was
stuck with a series based on a cheesy but memorable
movie, was quite a feat. When you're stuck with a story
about a great big lizard and another lizard that is
only damned big the possibilities seem limited, but
Ditko's work elevated the series considerably. I still
remember some scenes of the mother and child monsters
frolicing in the ocean quite fondly. 'Gorgo' was a much
better book than anyone had a right to expect. Marvel's
mid-seventies "Godzilla' series could have taken a tip from the
way 'Gorgo' was handled. Any idea what names 'Gorgo'
and 'Konga' were given when they were
renamed?
When 'The Partridge Family' and 'Emergency' (or 'Code
12' or whatever that series with Bobby Sherman was
first called) and top 40 radio made David Cassidy and
Bobby Sherman ubiquitous, I would have welcomed a title
that pitted Gorgo and Konga against them with the same
results as the one-minute 'Bambi Meets Godzilla'
underground cartoon. Now that the mighty have fallen, I
probably would read the Charlton books about them with
great interest. Incidently, Bobby Sherman is a real
perimedic now; I was subjected to a yearly first aid film
again last September, and Sherman was the narrator.
Curiously enough, although many of the people who were
required to view it were my age and older, I was one of
the very few who remembered him. How quickly they
forget.
Take care,
Jon

Brides
For Seven Brothers "..." - The references that I've
seen both differ . - " Code 12 "? is probably your
conflation? of " Adam-12 "
and " Emergency " , the latter
of which's star? ,
Randolph Mantooth? , did ,
himself , become a bit of the teeny idol at he time , as
well...!...Act-
ually , a bit after Bobby's tiimee...It ran against "
All In The Family " , and I never watched it , myself
( Ditto 4 Bubballa's "Getting
2-Gether )...! "
Adam-12 " was made by Jack Webb's company , as was "
Emergency " ( which , also , had a comic book issued by
some deservedly obscure company...I wonder whom those
losers were ! )
Bobby Sherman PLAYED Reno in some "
Teen Idols " triple bill , with Peter Noone , and I
forget which other...The S . F . Sunday paper runs about
EIGHT pages of Reno infomercial copy in its Sunday
entertainment " pink " every week...I'll try 2 see 'bout th'
re-titled K/G...Do you know where
D's " Killjoy " was
reprinted/if there were
any others ?

If anyone has any ideas for stories involving the
Charlton characters, we can use them over at my fanfic
club. It doesn't matter if they involve one of the
super-hero characters like Captain Atom or if it's a story
starring Gorgo! Anything involving a character published
by Charlton is welcome.

I had an uncle Walt, who hated being Walter or
Wally, so part of that is a carryover from my childhood;
I must have heard the name "Walt" several thousand
times before I was twenty, and if I don't stop and
think I'll probably slip up again. I probably am
confusing Bobby Sherman with Robert Mantooth, did they look
alike? Since Sherman became a paramedic, I took it he
was the one that had played a paramedic. I saw very
little television from late 1968 until late 1973, so
that era is spotty for me. I know one of the Salt Lake
City channels did run old 'Emergency' episodes under
the title 'Code 12' or 'Code Blue' for awhile years
after the program had been cancelled, but I seldom
watched it. I imagine it was Dell (or even Gold Key) who
did the comic book versions of 'Adam 12' and
'Emergency' as they had a long history of television
adaptions. I completely missed 'Here Come the Brides," but
somehow I picked up the name Bobby Sherman; he did have a
brief top 40 radio career didn't he, or was that some
other Bobby?
I think I put a link in the
collection here to a site called 'Ditko Looked Up', which
would have information on Killjoy, although I don't
know if it has any information on reprint appearances.
I don't know the URL off the top of my head, but
I'm almost positive I posted that link here as well
as some other sites.
Take care,
Jon

The idea of Gorgo fanfiction is a bit
mind-boggling, Starsky, but would most likely be interesting to
read if it was handled well. I have visited your
Earth-1 and Earth-2 sites and have read quite a bit there
(especially at the Earth-2 site), although I have given up
posting there because I don't write fiction and shouldn't
be giving advice about what I don't do.
Isn't
the Earth-4 site the one that has the Impact version
of the MLJ heroes melded in with the resident
characters, or am I thinking of a site that blends MLJ with
Quality? I know one of your five sites mixes MLJ with some
other company.
Take care,
Jon

We opened up earth-4 to the MLJ characters, too, just to add some variety. Though the more I learn about Charlton, I find that they could carry a world by themselves.

It is nice to at last find a significant outlet
for the fans of the often overlooked Charlton Comics
Company to learn more about that quirky and persistant
publisher.
My personal interests are the Action Heroes of the
late 60's and the mid-70's resurgance.
I have read
nothing of Pat Boyette's recent death.
He was one of
the artists I most associate with Charlton. Like
Ditko, he seemed to have found a company that would let
him do what he wanted. His Caniff-like art was very
different yet very handsome.
What has become of Pete
Morisi? I read he had taken back the Thunderbolt rights
(hence no T-Bolt in L.A.W.) but what are his
plans?
What has become of Joe Gill? He is the one writer of
comics that I know little if anything about. He was so
productive that I figured he was just a house name for
years. Has he passed on?
Thanks in advance for any
info you can give me.

"
BARNEY GOOGLE AND SNUFFY SMITH " fanfiction
( "
Sparkplug II And The Return Of Sweet Mama " ) , or
Hanna-Barbera characters , say , at least th' ones that Ch.
pub'd ( Which probably didn't include th' " serious "
mid-60s HB superhero characters - Jonny Quest , Birdman ,
the Herculoids , etc. - rats !!!!! ) - Years
ago ,
too , I joked about a " Mort Walkerverse "
( The
strips at least in part connected with Mort Walker or
people who've worked with him...Beetle Bailey , Hagar ,
Hi/Lois , Sam's Strip/Sam And Milo , Boner's Ark...)

Re: the synducation retitling
of " Emergency
! " , That's interesting !...I recently copied ,
out of nostalgia , a 1976 newspaper's TV page , for
approx. July 2 , 1976 ,
( I'd been copying something
else from it & wanted to use up my dollar of copy-$
or , at least , 90c ! ) , and noted that " Marcus
Welby " re-runs were showing , then , titled
"
Robert Young , Family Doctor " , and thought that THAT
must've been one of the LAST examples of a re-run getting
a large retitling...
Mebbe " Emer. " was later
?
The comic company that put out a " Emergency ! "

Sonofvulcan,
Always glad to add another
Charlton fan to this slowly expanding club. As you
probably know, it's hard to find very much about Charlton
characters on the internet. If by any chance you find a site
that deals with any Charlton material, add a link to
it in the collection here.
I'm sad to hear
that Pat Boyette has passed on; this is the first I
have heard about his death.
I have no idea of
the whereabouts of Pete Morisi or Joe Gill. I know
Morisi always had mixed feeling about doing comics and
during the original run on 'Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt'
he insisted on remaining anonymous beyond his "PAM"
signature. However, talent will out and I'm glad his name
became associated with his work, which I always
enjoyed.
Sorry I haven't been of any help, but I hope to see
many more messages from you in the future.
Take
care,
Jon

Re PAIII , as his signature wrote it out , the
story I heard was that , during the post-Wertham comics
bust , he " got a real , steady job..." -
a New
York City cop ( or , elsewhere in NYC metro. area !
)...AAndd , at that tiimee , th' Department still had a "
No Moonlighting " rule - at least on th' BOOKS ,
anyway ,...and that was one reason for keeping his head
a bit down ! ( He did
his twenty? - or whatever
- and pensioned out . )
I seem to remember (1) -
About th' tiimme DC's late-Eighties SECRET ORIGINS run
comcluded , a reference to a newly drawn Thunderbolt origin
by PAM being somewhere in the filing cabinet - sigh
!
(2) - An after-the-fact reference to a "
planned-
but-never-published DC weekly planned in the Eighties " - (
Presumably an early form of
that ACTION COMICS
WEEKLY
thing , which WAS published . ) - which was gonna have
THUNDERBOLT , by PAM?...?...
(3) - That PAM had actually
BOUGHT THUNDERBOLT back from Charlton at the end...I
covered much of this in my posting that I guess I
accidentally posted elsewhere ! Didn't anybody
read it ? I
mean , it;s not like this isn't a pretty incestuous
little crowd , anyway !!!!!!!...
and LISCENCED it to
DC , or mebbe it was another character...whatever
?
For Pat Boyette , THE COMICS JOURNAL had a
suprisingly long piece ( He was friends w/one of the
magazine's big enchiladas ! ) , + Mark Evanier did a good
write-up in his CBG column...Boyette had actually made ,
as a director/(or)writer , low-budget B movies
BEFORE he went
into comics !!!!!!! My . Got an
"
Obit Page "-type mention in PSYCHOTRONIC VIDEO , too .
He was fairly old ( 70ish-up ! ) , and his wife of
50-plus years had also pretty recently died , so , if you
will , it was " natural " .
If that doesn't seem
too callous . I mean ,
MY 70-something
father
died ( relatively ) recently...

Glad to be here. Thanks for the info. I ran
across a lot of data on Boyette on site called The
Astounding B Monster which talked about his movie
work.
Does anyone have any word on what is in store for the
Charlton Heroes at DC following L.A.W.? This obviously
seemed to be a kick-off series but its late arrival and
fact that I have seen nothing about it leads me to
believe that we won't be seeing any of these guys anytime
soon. I hope I am wrong.
As for links: I have been
to all the sites on the links page before (as I
imagine have most of us).
I don't have any new ones to
report.
I am currently refreshing my memory on E-Man by
reading (for the umpteenth time) the series. Someone
asked about Nick Cuti on a previous posting and the
last thing I have is an independent production by Cuti
and Staton from a few years back (maybe last year)
called (I think) Captain Stargazer. I will have to fish
around in my collection and get the specifics, but for
all of us hungry for more from this team it was
pretty good. Of course Staton is currently doing a
bang-up job on the Bugs Bunny-Superman mini series. I
recommend it.

I have found the Nick Cuti data I alluded to
earlier, and as I suspected I was mostly wrong.
The
book was "Captain Cosmos" and there were two issues I
am aware of. The first was published by Hamilton and
is dated 1994 while the next on is self-published.
They are numbered #0 and #1 respectively.
This was
apparently tied into a TV show Cuti was attempting to get
produced.
I still recommend both of these books if you can
find them.

Son of Vulcan,
thanks for the update on
Cuti. I doubt I'll ever run across either copy of
'Captain Cosmos', but it's nice to know that Cuti didn't
just fade away, although I wonder what he's been up to
in the last six years.
Take
care,
Jon

I neglected to mention that the second "Captain
Cosmos" had a 1998 date in the indicia. I just finished
rereading these two books and they are very much in the old
style of those Charlton science fiction adventure
books. Both are in black and white and I purchased both
within a couple of months of each other just a few years
ago on the new comics rack.
One neat feature is
that the Captain is actually visually based on Cuti
himself.

I'm probably preaching to the choir, but just in
case you haven't heard the excellent Prozine "Comic
Book Artist" put out by the TwoMorrows group is
planning a Charlton issue for the summer.
They will be
focusing on the very heroes from the 60's and 70's that
seem to be the heart of this club's interest. Although
a quick read of the promo mentions all the various
genres Charlton published at one time or another (Hot
Rods!).
If you have not seen a copy of "Comic Book Artist",
let me recommend it without hesitation.
They have
already done several issues on the 70's Marvel and DC
groups. The magazine is full to overflowing(well over 100
pages) with interviews and ORIGINAL ART from the
pertinent parties. Issues run $5.95 (or so).
I am sure
most of the people who post here already know this but
just in case it would be much remiss not to mention
the biggest (in my mind) Charlton news since L.A.W.
last year.
I have been meaning to post this for the
last few days but I get distracted by the real world.

Sonofvulcan,
actually the news about a
Charlton issue was news to me, and I'm glad you brought it
up. I'm even intrigued that someone wants to do new
episodes (or at least a few images) of the characters from
'Hot Rod Comics' (not to be confused with Big Daddy
Don's magazine 'Hot Rods'). Twomorrows is an
interesting publisher and I do have their URL in case anyone
wants to check it
out:
http://twomorrows.com/info.html
Twomorrows is generous with online samples and most issues
feature a few samples of new art or an interview or two.
Click on anything in blue, and there's no telling what
you'll find.
Thanks,
Jon

Rubberman,
you had a similar message over
at "The Hangman Returns" and it makes me wonder what
you're looking for? Are you interested in time traveling
characters in general, or are you indexing the time travlers
from each company, or what? Offhand, I think Son of
Vulcan visited ancient Greece at least once, but I can't
think of any other time travel stories from Charlton,
unless you want to count the fantasy/science-fiction
books in which case there would be dozens of
stories.
Jon

Ironically just last evening I was reading Six
Million Dollar Man #3 and he travelled into the immediate
past. Captain Atom can in the DC continuity, but in
Charlton stories he does so with mechnical assistance in
one story and he fights a character called "13" who
is from the future in the very next issue.
The
only character who travels in time on his own that I
have run across is the one-shot "Spookman" in Charlton
Premiere. He travels into the distant past by means of
magic.

In reality I'm working on a story for the Earth-4
story club I wanted to move Booster Gold over there so
I could team him up with Blue Beetle in a more
serious light than they did at DC after the
Crisis.
What I really need is time travelers from the future
who he could steal technology from so he could come
back in time and be a hero.
That's all for
now,

If that is what you are looking for then I think
the character "13" from the last Charlton issue of
Captain Atom would be perfect. He came from the future
and stole items using advanced science to make it
seem he was a magician.
I don't know how (if at
all) he was used by DC.
The Charlton storyline was
left open with "13" escaping back to the future.

In the origin story of Captain Atom, he rescues a
cosmonaut. Did this guy ever turn up again? I have an idea

in.
Also, my Captain Atom knowledge is a little rusty. Can
someone give me a rundown of his rogues gallerry and

thanks SoV, according to the Earth-4 timeline, in
Captain Atom #89, 13 had a partner named Jinx and they
traveled back to 1967 to change the past so Atom's villain
the Ghost wouldn't take over their home timeline. Has
anybody got this issue or have heard of it?
I
would appreciate any help,

Yes, I have a copy of this particular issue. It
is one of two Captain Atoms that I actually bought
off of the stands and not in a back-issue bin. "Jinx"
is a cat (to resemble a witch's familiar). The
costume design on "Thirteen" was one of Ditko's best in
what I feel was his prime design period. It was
cancellled with this issue so the story is left
hanging.
I may be able to get around to doing a read of this
particular issue in the near future, so maybe I can give you
a more thorough summary.

Sonofvulcan,
I missed this issue of
Captain Atom, probably one of the few latter issues I
didn't see, and I hope you do find it and are able to
post a more thorough summary. I'd like to know who
wrote this issue, because the names "Thirteen" and
"Jinx" are a homage of sorts; Thirteen was a backup
feature in Lev Gleason's 'Daredevil Comics'. Thirteen
debuted in 'Daredevil' #3 and he was joined by a kid
sidekick, Jinx, in 'Daredevil' #5. I'm not sure how long
this duo lasted but I suspect they were gone by
'Daredevil' #22 or so. I doubt that they use of the names in
what turned out to be the last issue of 'Captain Atom'
was a coincidence but rather a sly reference to the
past.
Interested,
Jon

updated, with my newest finds, including a DC Who's Who
binder on O'Neil's Vic, Blue Beetle #4 and the verrrry
hard-to-find Charlton Bullseye #5. I also bought a couple of
pages of original art from the L.A.W. today, and had
some sketches done by Stuart Immonen and Barry Kitson
that I'm going to put up. I hope to get a couple more,
including a second set from Bob Layton and Dick Giordano
tommorrow. Anyways, fellow members of the Merry Charlton
Marching Society, I'll see you all later.

Glad to have you with us. Glad also to here that
the already interesting Question site will soon be
updated with some tasty material. It's nice to actually
have some of the webmasters of the sites we link to as
members, but it makes sense that you would join. We're
always glad to have another Charlton fan and it's good
to have someone with expertise on the Question. I
know who to ask if I have questions about the
Question.
Take
care,
Jon

Hello,
I just found this club through a link
on Mikel Midnight's website and thought I'd join
up,I was looking for something else on there and came
across this, I think thats what you might call
serendipity. Anyway, I've been a fan of the Blue Beetle, the
Question and Captain Atom since they got their DC series'
in the mid eighties, since then I've followed the
characters as much as possible and managed to get ahold of
some of the old Charlton stuff (and very good it is
too!)
I'm curious as to what people here thought of the
L.A.W. series DC recently published, I have to admit I
was very disappointed with it, a real opportunity
lost in my opinion. Anyway, thanks to Doc Quantam for
setting up this club as I know of very few fans of the
Charlton characters.
Regards,
Steve.

Welcome. You are coming to the characters from
the DC perspective, something I have little
of.
Outside of appearances in the JLA I know almost nothing
of what happened to Captain Atom, Blue Beetle and
company after the Crisis.
L.A.W. was not all that I
would have liked. Given the the credentials of the
artists I expected a little more. Actually I may have
expected too much. Blue Beetle, the Question,and the new
Peacemaker get decent coverage, but the newest Nightshade
was a visual letdown. I will say that the
reintroduction of Rip Jagger was worth the price of the series
and it didn't even seem too contrived. But Captain
Atom got almost nothing to do except change uniforms.
The last issue seemed rushed and not in the style of
the previous five. I know there was a long delay on
this mini-series; was the last installment produced at
a different time?
I doubt we'll see anymore of
this grouping. I hope I am seriously in error on this
point.
Has DC done anything with the Fightin'5?
Kaji
Dha,
SonofVulcan

I know that Layton and Giordano butted a lot of
heads with folks at DC over this series. The awful name
was due to the Powers that Be, as were the changes
made to Nightshade and Captain Atom's costume. By the
time DC was done watering it down, I know that Bob and
Dick themselves were a little disapointed with the
outcome.

There are probably a small legion of Charlton
fans out there, but it will take them some time to
find their way here. You and Eric have both found the
club in the last few days through Mikel Midnight's
golden age directory and I imagine a few others will
come here by that route. I imagine quite a few DC fans
don't ever know that Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, the
Question, etc. were published by Charlton. I do expect the
number here to grow, although obviously this club will
never be as large as the JSAAA I think it could reach a
respectable size. Anyway, good to have you here.
Take
care,
Jon

I am really pleased with the response to this and
the other clubs I and others have founded recently.
Apparently there are fans of these particular "niches" in
the comic-book world. I'm learning quite a bit and
I'll definitely be back with questions as well as info
of my own.

As for the LAW mini , it seemed to be at least
partly there to give Capt. Atom a costume like the one
he wore in KINGDOM COME !
When did Charlton go
out of
business as a " full-fledged " ( i . e . ,
putting out lots of new comics ! ) comics company...'77 ,
'78 ?...And , how long
did their " half-life " (
of " Modern Comics " reprints , and this "
semi-fanzine " BULLSEYE " , and Charlton reprints of Ditko ,
and " ATOMIC MOUSE " ! ) last ? Through '87 ?
Does ANYBODY remember , the REALLY short-lived
,
Atlas-Seaboard comics , from the mid-1970s ? They lasted
approximately six ( if
that !!!!! ) months ! NOT the 50s
incarnation of marvel that went under the name Atlas , a
seperate company...

YES, I do remember the Atlas of the 70's!
Among my personal favorites were:
Targitt(Howard
Nostrand of Crazy fame's "Bullitt" pastiche)
Planet
of Vampires(just substitute Cornelius, Dr. Zaius,
etc....)
Morlock 2001(just WAIT till next
year!!)
Destructor(STRICTLY for the Ditko/Wood art...I
SWEAR!!!!!)
Ironjaw(an even LESS politically correct Conan...if such a
thing is POSSIBLE! ;^) )
Among many OTHERS,
formerly found in the 25-cent bins of MANY a Flea market
and comic shop, provided dat FUNKY 70's(by vision of
guys from the 50's) view of the world...
...FUN
BOOKS!!!:^)

Re the " guys from the 50s " comment , Yeah ,
I've often thought that Atlas's talent pool was
heavily what was then the establishment generation of
comics pros , th' generation that only a couple of years
later would start really dying/retiring/going innto
animation , as the " fan "-originating from generation -
th' Byrnes , Perezs...really became " the mainstream
"...Though perhaps you could aruge that their talent base
WAS more th' " new jacks " of 1975...? Anyway ( not
having seen most of 'em FOR YEARS ! ) , I remember the (
or so it seemed to
me at th' time ) " violent
enough to start enough to start a new anti-comics
movement " Tigerman - th' first issue , anyway - fondly -
I've often fantasized about bringing him/them back .
Who owns th' stuff ( Characters , stories & art both
published and un , the physical art , proofs/film thereof ,
th'
characters/concepts , anything else ! ) ,
anyway ?

The Comic Marketplace just a few months ago did a
feature on the old 1975 Atlas line. They presented a
completed cover gallery and had a a reasonably complete
article with some data about why the company went
defunct. It seems to be the old story of lack of money and
confused editorial direction. I have contemplated setting
up a club on Yahoo for this neglected group. I lack
scanning capability so it would be very limited. Is there
any interest for an ongoing discussion of the Atlas
line? The fact that no more will be done with any of
these characters seems to limit the conversation.

Well , I'm interested !!!!!!! Count me in !!!!!!!
" Nothing will ever be done..." , Well , a few
years ago , when I still read " WIZARD " , I saw an
item in their ( so to speak " ) " gossip column " , to
the effect of " people are wondering if the A-S
characters , especially Tigerman , might be tried
again..."...If nothing else , if they're not P . D . by now , I
assume that they'd eventually become so...How about
combining yr. projected group with Skywald ,
for a
wider spread ? What CM was that in ? When Atlas was out
, I remember a COMICS READER cover reproduction of
a MAD-style , color , comic , that never made it to
th' stands ! That one in there ?
I think I used to
see CM , but its one of those mags I don't really see
anymore ! I've kept meaning to write tio Larry Leiber ,
care of KFS , to see if he has any memories of them/if
I can pick his brain...

The issue was #77 April 2000. It has an oversized
reproduction of the cover to "Planet of Vampires" #1 as the
front cover.
I'll do a bit more research and measure
the interest before attempting anything formally. I
don't want to create yet one more Web location nobody
goes to or goes to very little.
I feel the reason
that this club is so alive is that there are many
generations of Charlton fans from multiple points of entry
who bring a varied take on the characters. Atlas
seems just a bit narrow.
Larry Lieber was
interviewed recently on Seaboard and he had little to say
suggesting that he didn't want to say anything if he
couldn't say something mostly positive. The interview was
in one of the TwoMorrows publications I
believe.
Just for the record my favorite Atlas character was
the Grim Ghost. I feel Ernie Colon did some of his
most energetic work on this strange little book.

If you want " another Web location...nobody goes
to " , check out , here on Yahoo! , this " Star
Comics Official Page "...( ...Almost certainly NOT that
80s Marvel kiddie line that went by the name...)
Besides the guy whose company it apparantly belongs to ,
I appear 2 B the only member !!!!!!!
TwoMorrows the " Jack Kirby Collector " people ? I had a
grudge going against them , but , they DO appear 2 B
publishing
some appetizing stuff , so...
A-S sure
had a LOT OF titles that other people used , or they
took from other people , didn't they ? ( Literally ,
TITLES ! )..." PHOENIX/PROTECTOR "..." P.O.T. VAMPIRES "
( There's an Italian movie from the Sixties of that
title ( For its American issue ! )
that I've never
seen , and I wonder...)..." GRIM GHOST "...( There was
a REALLY minor GA DC character , called The Gay
Ghost , originally...Yes , hee , hee , hee , I
know...that's been titled " GRIM Ghost " ( sort of a
mini-capsule history of comics right there ! ) , whenever he's
mede his EXTREMELY rare latter-day DC appearences - he
was a Spanish Armada-era period character , so...)
The Flisher GG certainly was a conceptually
whacked-out character . He had to kill evildoers so Satan
could put them in Hell ! Why ? Because
Old Scratch
had to
keep a soul flow order going ?????

I was thinking of picking up some of the old
Charlton issues of this character and was wondering if
anyone here would recommend them. I know next to nothing
about the artist (Pat or Pete Morisi I believe) and was
wondering if he was much good,

Hi bud, Some of the issues of Charlton during
that time period was as good if not better than what
DC or Marvel was putting out. There was some junk
but the CHarlton super heroes were not, I feel that
that was their peak. Thunderbolt's art wasn't the
greatest but was unique. It wasn't like anyone elses. I'll
see if I can temporary post a few pages to give you
an idea. I think I might have a few dupes if you
would be interested.
Take care,
Don

Grim Ghost of the Seaboard persuasion was very
similar. I was unaware of the previous Golden-age
character until I very recently picked up some back issues
of Secret Origins which had the Gay/Grim Ghost
featured. Clearly the Atlas people were well aware of the
original.
You have convinced me. I will begin the
Atlas-Seaboard Club if I can master the the requsite computer
skills. I think this location should be for Charlton talk
only.

I have just finised creating a new home for all
of us who wish to talk about the Atlas comics of the
mid-70's. I am inspired by the wonderful work done on this
page and hope that those of you who visit here and
have something to add on that subject will hop
over.
From this point I pledge to only talk Charlton here
(for the most part anyway).

If I ever get my hands on a scanner, I'll have to
scan all my Atlas Comics covers. I once tried
collecting every Atlas Comic I could get my hands on, good

them.

Thanks for the opinion on Thunderbolt Don, I've
actually told a local dealer I would buy some issues from
him (they seem reasonably priced).What confused me
though was the fact he has issue 1 and then it seems to
jump up to issue 51,did Thunderbolt take over some
already existing title or do issues 2 to 50 of
Thunderbolt exist?
Regards,
Stephen.

Was there an original Charlton TERRY/PIRATES
comic ? 1947 ? That's , basically , anyway , AFTER
Milton Caniff's run , considered the " classic " time ,
ended...Aannd , th' strip started , very much pre-WWII , as the
adventures of knicker-clad adolescent Terry , fighting ,
actually , pirates...it evolved into a
WWII/military/espionage strip by Pearl Harbor , with Terry (
realistically/in calender time ! )
aged into joining-the-Arny
age.......?
The Charlton family...? IS Charlton still going (
for non-comic books . ) ? I ASSUME they still are ,
but...The last Char. magazine I've seen's been " Hit
Parader " , and I haven't seen that for a year or more
?
Charlton's distribution/pricing...I once saw a
ret. , of Ch.'s hot-rod titles , say ( to approximate
! ) " Charlton comics tended to turn up , not at
the newsstand where the cther comics were sold , but
in the two-for-ten ( or fifteen , or
twelve...)-cents bins at Woolworth's ( oe similar ! )..." Any
truth to this , in your recollection ? Not me , plus
I'm jus' a WEE bit too young , but...
The link to
th' SPACE: 1999 page I mentioned is at www.about.com
, look under Hobbies , for Comic Collecting...I
assume that will be sufficient !
I DON'T have a
computer myself , and , I'm DEFINITELY not able to put up
a
link myself !!!!!!!

I found a new Charlton site (I think). Of all
things there is a site that discusses Hypnosis in
comics. It is pretty thorough and along with the usual
mass of Marvel and DC sightings my cursory scan found
a Captain Atom reference. I will add the link.

Hi bud, basically speaking, the #1 was an oddity.
Publishers used to change titles rather that start a new
series due to postal permits and things of that nature.
The second story was Thunderbolt #51 which took over
the spot and numbering of Son of Vulcan.In ussue #60,
the Prankster took over the book. THe book had a
fairly decent back up called the Sentinels. #57 and 58
were reprinted by Modern Comics. #57 was also unique
since Morisi didn't do the art or cover.
On a side
note, I came across a Charlton comic that had a reprint
of Children of Doom, I hadn't been aware that it had
been reprinted. Talk about a sale, I was lucky
tonight, Four issues of Prince Valiant by Foster for a
buck total! The Prisoner mini for 25 cents each!
Tomahawk #82 $4.
I found another book I didn't know
existed, A Now edition of G-8 and his Battle Aces, 25
cents! Then I ruined the day by picking up 6 packs of
Pokemon cards.....

question...What's Charlton-esque about " DOC SAVAGE " ? I'm not

I am currently doing a chronological reading of
many of the old Charlton books. I have been struck on
this reading of the number of future pros who show up
in the letter pages. Of course Roy Thomas broke in
on Son of Vulcan and Blue Beetle. Also there is
early costume design shown and credited to Dave Cockrum
(for redesigning Son of Vulcan) and Alan Weiss (for
offering a redesign of Blue Beetle).
Of course this has
never been a secret but it fun to see the flourishing
fandom of the day beginning to participate. Some people
say this was the beginning of the end as it brought
about a diminishing of professionalism but I can't
really agree.
The CPL Gang would do this again in the
mid-70's.
Charlton proved itself time and again to be a training
ground for large numbers of pros. I think that as much
as anything is what the industry misses about the
Derby publisher.
On a related note there is a tryout
page in one of the Hamster Press Fandom comics
collections (2nd one I think) featuring a Thomas and Sam
Grainger take on Son of Vulcan. It looked really nice and
made me at least wonder about a missed possiblity.

Children of Doom was reprinted at least once in
the late 70's in a magazine labled Space War. I
forget the number but I think it was in the low
30's.
Don't know nuthin' about Chartlton and Doc Savage. Now
I have something to research.

What character fought both Judomaster and Sarge Steel,
but at different times?
Restrict responses to
only Charlton appearances.
(In other words, DC and
AC comic appearances are not factored into this.)

My point was that that timeline...which
apparently decided to count every outside/liscenced
adventure character that Charlton ever published - fine (
When did Char. do Lance O'Casey , however ? )
-
listed " TERRY AND THE PIRATES " and
" DOC SAVAGE "
, which I
wasn't aware that Charlton had ever
done comic books of . ( Re-read my
posts for other
details . )

The next issue of Comic Book Artist is going to
be completely about the silver age of Charlton. I
know they've at least interviewed Bob Layton and Steve
Skeates, and subpoenaed all of Layton's collection to get
pictures and stuff from. CBA's a pretty good magazine,
they could use better grammatical editors, but their
heart is in the right place.

I cannot recommend these magazines enough. If they do for Charlton what they have done for 70's Marvel we will learn a lot about the way these wonderful books were concocted.

I can find NO evidence that Charlton ever
produced any Doc Savage material. The listing is likely a
simple error. Though it may be an attempt to link Doc
through Tarzan and Sherlock Holmes by the Wold-Newton
Theory, but that would open the door for lots of others
who aren't on the list.

I'm really looking forward to this magazine,due
to my limited knowledge of Charlton's publishing
history it should be informative.I suppose Ditko won't be
interviewed though,which is a crying
shame.

I was reading a episode of the Question (in the
back of Blue Beetle #2) and one of the characters seem
to resemble Lucille Ball of "I Love Lucy" fame. Does
anyone know if there is anything to confirm
this?
Was(is) Ditko a fan or something?
It's got me looking
for other lookalikes now as I read Ditko stories. It
had never crossed my mind that his characters ever
looked like anything except his own idiosyncatic view of
the world.

I have always thought of Bill Black's little firm
as the successor to Charlton. Not only did they
attempt to get the Charlton properties, but even after
those went to DC, AC continued to produce comics in
some of the various genres that Charlton had
maintained. I can hardly think of a western outside of Jonah
Hex that AC didn't publish. The anthology horror
comic has all but disappeared. Is there a war comic out
there?
Anyway, is there any interest in a group to discuss the
various AC products. I'm a little leary of such a place
because the AC books attract a rather unseemly group of
fans of various unusual (and oddly specific) sexual
interests. I don't want to gab with folks more intersted in
odd bits of wet clothing than the actual comics
themselves.
Is there an interest?

This issue features a spotlight on the golden age
Blue Beetle, including some information on his comics
in the 50s as published by Charlton Comics after
they got the character from Fox. Anyways, it's a
fascinating read. If there's enough interest here, I may
consider quoting some of the major points...

Steve,
By all means, pick up some issues
of 'Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt' if you have the
chance. I like PAM's artwork quite a bit, although it may
be an acquired taste. I think Thunderbolt is a very
under-rated character and I recommend the book.

I am just finishing a wonderful reread of the
Thunderbolt issues and I couldn't agree more. These are gems.
I noticed in the Thunderbolt letter pages an awful
lot of complaint about the lack of action on the
covers. I think PAM's covers for this series are
elegant.
Pat Boyette shines on his issues too. These are not
lesser books by any means.

The first appearance of Captain Atom featured two
non-series tales "The Galactic Scourge" and "Captive World".
Another fun detail, Cap's costume is gold on the cover
but a light blue in the story. Oddly the Cap story
isn't the lead but appears in the middle of the book.

It's of Steve Whitaker's version of the Charlton heroes, as shown in some kind of British comic convention program.

I found a error in the Earth-4 timeline; one that
I have repeated unfortunately. The cat companion of
13 in the last Captain Atom issue (#89) was not
named "Jinx", but rather "Faustus".
While this is of
no real importance, I report only for the sake of
accuracy. I know Vic Sage would be proud.

I am trying to identify as many of Charlton's
scary comic anthology hosts as I can. The ones I have
identfied so far are:
Ghost Manor-Mr.Bones
Ghostly
Tales-Mr.L.Dedd
Ghostly Haunts-Winnie the Witch
Haunted-Impy(a little
ghost figue)
Baron Weirwulf's Haunted Library-Baron
Weirwulf
(I know the last two are really the same
magazine)
Creepy Things-Dee Munn
Beyond the Grave-Mortimer
Tishin
Monster Hunters-Colonel Whiteshroud
Scary
Tales-Countess R.H.Von Bludd
The Many Ghosts of
Dr.Graves-Dr.M.(Milo)T.(Tempus)
Graves
Midnight Tales-Professor Coffin the Midnight Philosopher
and Arachne
Tales of the Mysterious
Traveler-Mysterious Traveler
The following ones I'm unsure
about:
Ghost Manor-the Old Witch with the eye patch( was she
just the Old Witch or was there a name)
Strange
Suspense Stories-a figure in a black shroud
Unlikely
Tales(Charlton Premiere#4)-several hosts but only one I can
name-Bella Von Drak
Now I know this list is
incomplete and I would very much like any help in firming it
up. If you spot an error or know more please let me
know.
Thanks in Advance,
SonofVulcan

Yeah, Mikel's very receptive to suggestions,

nit-pickiest details right, so he'd be thrilled to have this
correction made, along with any others you might find. I
know that the E-4 timeline is a big work in progress,
I have some drafts from back when we were going to

Doc,
I just found out recently when I
tried to install a 101st link at "atomicgoldandsilver"
that there is a limit on links. You can put up 100
links and no more. You know what that means don't you?
Ultimately, there will be 101 links you'll want to
install.
Sad but maybe
true,
Jon

I am just beginning to read again the Watchmen. I
have completed a chronological reading of the 60's
Action Heroes and I thought with that fresh on my mind
it would be a good time read the version of the
Charlton heroes found in Moore and Gibbons famous work. I
am making connections I missed on previous readings.
I checked a Watchmen site to verify the identities
of the main characters. The list is as
follows:
The Comedian-Peacemaker
Blue Beetle-Nite
Owl
Dr.Manhattan-Captain Atom
Rorschach-The Question
Silk
Spectre-Nightshade.
I have always been taken aback by the lack of
respect that the Peacmaker gets. I loved Boyette's
original work and I don't find Christopher Smith's
motivation anymore peculiar than any other vigilante.
I
have read that Moore originally wanted to use the
actual Charlton characters but because of DC plans had
to create dopplegangers. I'm glad because after this
production the characters would have been lost to us
forever. That is not a cut on the work, which is superb,
but rather a reflection that I'm glad my ox didn't
get gored.
Anyway. What's the opinion out there on
the Bullseye about the mid-80's take on some of our
iconic heroes?

Actually,I read The Watchmen without knowing, at
the time, that they were based on the Charlton
heroes. Watchmen was (and is) probably the single biggest
reason I'm still reading comics today. That may sound
over the top but I was at an age,about 13 or 14, when
most comics seemed immature or pretentious and The
Watchmen tradepaperback was just amazing. I can still
re-read it and find new aspects that I'd missed
previuosly and there's not much been published since I can
say that about.
I guess some people may feel
Moore and Gibbons were treating the characters with
disrespect, I think they should see Moore's Twilight proposal
and be thankful Blue Beetle,The Question,Peacemaker
and co got off so lightly!
Regards,
Steve.

Ouch. Well, I guess by the time that comes around
(and I hope it does -- Charlton definitely doesn't get
enough representation on the web, yet), I'll put up a
mega-size page of links with every Charlton link here, and
take down all but the most major ones on this site to
make room for any more to be posted. And I'd do the
same for the other clubs I founded.

Doc,
that's a smart plan. I'm already
faced with having to pick and choose and I'm not
listing any yahoo clubs in my links, I also had to parse
them out of Golden Agers which was getting close to
the limit too. Eric/Steve Rogers has offered to put
up any of the Golden Agers' excess links over at his
golden years site but I've culled those back down to 84,
so we have some breathing room over there. Two
months ago, I didn't think there was a links limit and
if I had known there was, I would have guessed the
JSAAA would have hit it before anyone else. Shows where
peoples real interests lie.
Let everyone know when
you do get your website up and running. If I come
across any Charlton links, I'll put them up over
here.
Take
care,
Jon

I was well aware of who was suppossed to be who
when I read the Watchmen, and it didn't effect my
enjoyment a bit. I guess the people over at DC freaked out
when Moore told them what he wanted to do with their
newly acquired characters though. Consequently, we got
the near thing instead of the genuine item. Actually
I'm glad Moore had to go with the near thing,
although not much of any significance has been done with
the Charlton characters. We can only hope someone
will. It's the lesser unused characters (Tyro Team,
Michael Mauser, Spookman, Sentinels, etc.) that I would
like to see developed.
Take care,
Jon

I try not to be suprised, but the other day I
came across an item on Ebay that did. The book appears
to be a Charlton and features a character named
Mercury Man. Now a little bell went off in my head. I
remember hearing the name but had never found a copy. To
make a long story short, I am bidding on it and if
successful will share. Look!!! Up in the sky!!! It aint no
bird, it aint no plane!!! It's Mercury Man!!!

I actually have a Mercury Man. He apparently
appeared in Space Adventures BEFORE Captain Atom made his
debut. I have one issue, I think there were two. As I
write this I don't have access to my collection but He
had pointed ears I think and a light blue costume. I
remember it being not to bad and I have always wondered
why he has NEVER surfaced anywhere else(at least to
my knowledge).

"Watchmen" is simply the single best comic series
EVER!
In fact, I think the Charlton heroes
probably have benefitted by some reflected glory from
their doppelgangers, moreso than the Watchmen are
basking in the light of the originals. "The L.A.W." mini
may have so disappointed so many simply because they
were hoping for a Watchmen type event. A hard act to
follow, you must admit.
Obviously, as a fan of
these characters, I'm glad that close analogs were
developed for Watchmen so Cap Atom, BB, and company weren't
lost to the main DCU. Also thematically, I think the
Watchmen series benefitted from the glomming on of certain
other iconic character traits-- the Superman motifs
personified by Dr. Manhattan, the Batman stuff grafted onto
Nite-Owl, the GA/SA Black Canary riff on Silk Spectre, the
Minuteman/JSA pastiche, etc. These all resulted in a deeper,
more textured and accessible universe. (and BTW, if
that wasn't Barry Allen's crewcut on Dr. Manhattan's
secret ID, I'll eat my yellow winged boots!)
I
hear DC Direct will be doing Watchmen action figures
next year. Do you suppose we'll ever get figures of
the real Charlton characters?

I'm nearly done with this read of the Watchmen,
and while I am not so nearly gun-ho on the group as
some I must say that the Charlton references are
thicker than I remember. Coming off a fresh reading of
those works really prepared me to catch the little nods
that Moore throws into his stews.

It just came out at your local comic shop this
WEEK!
The ENTIRE book is devoted to Steve Ditko's
QUESTION!
Some classic Ditko art, and a much MILDER Randian
slant than his later Mister A. stories.

It's very good, no doubt. I was somewhat
disturbed by the muddy quality of the reprint. This is some
of Ditko's best work and his clean lines are fuzzy.
Muchly recommended, if you have never seen
this comic before. Even recommended if you have, but
not so much.
It just reminds me how much good
Charlton material is waiting for reprint. ACG is hit and
miss. I dream of seeing the Blue Beetles in a trade
paperback, or for that matter Judomaster.
A best of the
ghost stories of Stive Ditko might sell a few copies
too.

While I have reservations about the printing of
the Millenium Edition-Mysterious Suspense, it was
very nice to see the big red Charlton "C" on the
stands again and not lurking in a box hidden among all
the other comics from bygone days.
The little
essay on the inside covers was very respectful and
informative.

What is the current fate of the remarkable

His work was

He

It is the same cover as I have on my copy of Mysterious Suspense. It is most likely the angle which is making it seem wrong. I know the New Gods issue looked peculiar to me.

I just saw an ad in the latest Comic Shop News
advertising what seems to be a new "Captain Cosmos-The Last
Starveyer" by Nicola Cuti and Joe Staton.
I have a
couple of these from several years ago and they are very
much in the flavor of the work done by this team at
Charlton in the 70's.
Joe Staton is a very underrated
artist. Nicola Cuti is a writer with a unique worldview.
I have no info on the series outside of this one ad
except for the publisher which is Quantum
Comics.
For what it's worth,

Just a note for anyone who might miss it
otherwise, the Big Red Charlton "C" is currently on display
at Scott Shaw's Oddball comics.
The featured
comic is Partridge Family #4.
Yah, I know, but a
Charlton happening is such a rarity. Check the archives of
Oddball as Charlton is represented several
times.
Enjoy!

I was prowling through my collection and I found
a great magazine-size reprint collection of John
Byrne's "Rog 2000". This is character who never was able
to fulfill his potential. A robot in a world he
never made was the general premise and the series is
one of the funniest I have come across. I rarely
laugh at loud at comics, but the Rog series has several
guffaws waiting for the unwary reader. The art is prime
pre-Marvel Byrne. Byrne is on record as really being
disdainful of his early work ( I can understand his
position) but I feel that he has lost some of the energy in
his more recent work that is to be found in abundance
in his Charlton stuff and Rog in particular. The
panels are jumping in these stories. Rog 2000 is a
classic character and I feel is a character who could be
a success in today's market.
The character
is on display in the Pacific Comics reprint. The
series was originally in later issues of E-Man and a few
show up in the fanzine Bullseye. I know the character
has a few cameos in bogus ads and things too done by
the CPL Gang.
If you haven't sampled Rog it's
a treat. If you have what do you think? Am I
swooning over nothing here or what?
By the way
"Rog" is pronounced [RAWJ]. I got this wrong for years.
Hey I still say "MagnEHto". I guess after the movie
I'll have to stop that nonsense.

Cheeks the Toy Wonder (gotta' love him)is
currently taking Charlton's "Fightin' Marines" to task for
one its less traditional stories from the fabulous
'60's.
The feature is full of typical Cheeks Rant and is
chock full of Nick Alascia artwork. He doesn't like the
story, but a Charlton fan has learned to take any
attention he can get.

ACG (I think I have that right) has the rights to
publish from the Charlton backlist. Clearly the rights to
the Action heroes went to DC. Pete Morisi apparently
holds the rights to Thunderbolt.
E-Man is held
jointly by Nick Cuti and Joe Staton (or maybe Staton has
them alone). Outside of these specific cases (and
obviously the licensed characters like Phantom and Popeye)
did all the Charlton material fall into the
possession of ACG?
Who is ACG? What is ACG? They
publish old comic strips and then slap Charlton material
into the back as filler. There is some good stuff
hidden in some of these, but the asking price of $2.95
per copy is a bit steep for random black&white
reprints in my estimation.
Does anyone of the
learned souls out there have the story on
this?
Thanks,
Dean (your friendly SonofVulcan)

Dean,
AC comics is headed up by Bill Black
(and possibly some other people) and specializes in
using characters who are in the public domain. Occam's
razor would suggest that the most likely reason the
Charlton reprints pop up is because the trademarks on
those characters haven't been exercised in the past
fifteen years and the stories are in public
domain.
I've never actually seen any of the AC books so I have
no idea what the quality of their product might be.
I know I don't care for Bill Black's 'Fem Force'
female exploitation comics, so I've never considered
buying any of the AC books. Maybe I'm missing out on
something great but I'll take that chance.
Take
care,
Jon

ACG is not AC Comics. I am very familiar with
Bill Black's Florida-based company. I consider them
the company which has been the most like Charlton in
regards to multiple-genre publications since our beloved
Derby,Conn. firm closed its doors.
This ACG is
something else again. The work is exclusively (now)
black&white. I do have an early effort by them featuring Pete
Morisi's western hero "Lobo" which is beautiful color, but
I haven't seen any color in a long
while.
Both of the above companies do use public domain
stuff, that's clear. I guess some of the stuff I'm
seeing doesn't seem old enough to be in public domain. I
recognized work by artists from the mid-70's in addition to
work form the '60's.
I can only assume they bought
some publication rights. But who is it?
I was
very reluctant to buy Femforce myself for just the
reason you mentioned. I began collecting them when Dick
Ayers became the regular artist in the mid-90's. The
Femforce title itself is not actually that bad in regards
to the exploitation and what there is, is blunted by
wonderfully fun stories with distincitve characters. I make
no excuses for the obvious pandering that does go on
in some of the publications put out by AC, but along
side that appeal to less than the purest motivations
is some pretty good stories and some very
interesting characters. I must confess that I am a confirmed
Femforce fan these days. I just yesterday found out that
they are beginning a new publishing scheme which will
have them printing only to order and offering no store
sales. The unit prices are steep, but I'm a guy who
bought "DC 2000"; I'm a proven
patsy.
Thanks,
Dean

Dean,
Here in this backwater I never come
in contact with things like ACG Comics. I have seen
an issue or two of various things by AC in the past
and I knew they do a reprint series so I confused the
two. You're right, material from the 60s and 70s
wouldn't be PD; I thought you might be talking about
material from Charlton's first few years, which could be
in public domain.God only knows how many times
certain properties have changed hands since they were
first printed.
I just don't know the Femforce
series, so I suppose it is good to know that it is better
than it looks. I've checked out the Femforce website
before and there is absolutely no hint there that things
like story quality might even be a consideration. I've
judged them purely on the basis of what they appear to
be promoting and it doesn't look like anything I
would be interested in.
Take care,
Jon

Walter,
I'm not boycotting AC comic's
FemForce so much as I've never seen a copy of the title. I
live in an area where the nearest comics store is a
two-and-a-half hour drive one way, and that store doesn't carry
any AC books. I have been tempted to order some of
the AC books that reprint golden age material but
that's not in my budget right now. I've always assumed
that the FemForce books were of a low writing caliber,
much as most of the titles that featured "good girl
art" in the golden age were. It's only here in the
past few days that I've ever heard anyone suggest that
the books are actually well written. Actually, old
strips for $2.95 seems like a bargain. The prices listed
for current and past copies of AC books on their
website are much more than that; I don't know where you
found that quote, but it's not from me. I've never read
any of the AC reprints, so I'm not likely to comment
on them.
So anyway, no I'm not boycotting AC
comics or FemForce. I'm much more likely to eventually
acquire some of AC's reprint titles than I am copies of
FemForce however.
Take care,
Jon

Your're right about the web-site. It is rarely
changed (they just did) and there is little indication
that more is going on there than T&A.
I toyed
with the notion of beginning an AC Comics site, but
backed away because some of the fans are really not the
kinds of folks you want to spend time corresponding
with. Let's just say that they don't actually READ the
comics.
I wouldn't say the Femforce is WELL-written, but I
would say that there is a very 60's70's-retro feel to
the work that I find attractive. The craftsmanship is
way above the average independent, though it can be
incredibly uneven.
Black and his cronies have ressurected
dozens of public domain golden-aged heroes and
incorporated them into the storyline. There is a clear
fascination with the female form that seems to get in the way
of the plots, but as I say the audience shows up for
a lot of different reasons.
Black makes much
of the strong female personalities (and he has a
point) but the visuals undercut much of this
higher-mindedness.
But reading any of the issues is much like tearing
into an Avengers or Defenders comic of the early 70's.
Tons of people going and coming and stuff happens to
them.
The prices are a little much for some of
what you get, but coming off the stands it wasn't too
bad, and I have found several good deals to fill in my
back issues. I just paid more than I'm comfortable
revealing for "Paragon #4" an early Bill Black offering
from the early 70's which features Black's original
character the Shade pencilled by Steranko. This is actually
a fanzine and years away from AC Comics debut in
the independent explosion in the early 80's.
I
don't really recommend AC at this point (they have all
but closed up shop with new material done on pre-paid
basis), but I would say that few sample issues could be
good. Stay with the later color material, as the
plotlines of the earlier stuff is much more
disjointed.
Two and a half hours to a store; my heavens I feel
for you. I'm lucky to have several right around me,
but your situation is much like my youth. I had ONE
good newstand and that was pretty much it. (It was one
of those little ones on the sidewalk too;how
quaint.)

I was just over at the Nail News site and they
have a Charlton science fiction story called "The Moon
Men". It is ten pages and the scans are gigantic. The
whole piece is labeled "Plagarism Between Companies". I
don't know what the other company is or what the rest
of the story is.
Does anyone know the scoop
on this little tale?

It's very very heavy-handed...pure Ditko.
Actually, it's really pure Ayn Rand, a re-worked telling of
The Fountainhead with a faceless crimefighter instead
of a Frank Lloyd-Wright-esque
architect.

Dean,
I read that story yesterday
(actually late last night) and I wondered the same thing. I
don't know the story that the Charlton story is
suppossedly derived from, but I could see where it might be
"borrowed" from one of the EC science-fiction titles.
However, that's just a semi-educated guess on part and I
don't know for a fact that there was an earlier EC
story very much like this one. Hopefully someone else
will know more about this.
Equally
puzzled,
Jon

I'm not that much of an EC buff, but I would
imagine that would be the source of the complaint.
Frankly most of these stories are so generic I would be
hard pressed to try and nail someone on plagarism.
There were so many stories of this kind that I really
can't understand how you distinguish. Maybe if the two
stories were put side by side one could see
it.

...I've never actually read any Rand...The
story's good...Th' first part's endless series of face
close-ups creates an unusual effect...sort of unlike what
most comics night doo today...Sort of like the "
nightmare/accusation " sequence in Ed Wood's " Glen Or Glenda " , or
Fifties educational films in general?...I wonder what
effect th' outside dialoguer had in smoothing it along
?
What might have Ditko put in it , if he'd gotten his
druyhers politically ? Judging from the brief anti-United
Nations stab... Dit.
SURE LIKED that "
swinging
ties " effect , didn't he ? It wouldn't be as striking
with later , fatter ties I suppose .
A Freudian ,
no doubt ,
could have a field

that...but , " sometimes , a tie is
just a tie " , I
suppose !!!!!!!!!

I was wondering if any of my fellow Charltonians
knows anything about the comic "Go-Go"? I know that it
was Chalton's attempt at a mild satire magazine, and
I know it features Jim Aparo's first work. What I
would like to know are other details and if anyone
holds it in especially high regard and if so for what
reason?

...I recall it being a " Swinging Sixties " sort
of ( VERY mild ! ) satire , and , so , I think I
kind of liked the few I ever saw/had? ACG's going to
reprint a related? title " Bikini Luv " , under the
raw-thaaa Austin Powersesque title
" YEAH , BABY ! " ,
p'raps including some G-G material ? ( Which I posted up
here B/4 ! )
I've always had a

in the " swinging " , middle-ish
Sixties , just
before the , so-called " real Sixties " got started...or
, at least the media version of it !

Dean,
Actually EC did plagerise Ray
Bradbury, who caught them on a thinly disguised version of
one of his stories and suggested they might want to
send him a check. EC did and worked out an arrangement
where they adapted Bradbury short stories and splashed
his name prominently on the covers of their
science-fiction books. In the long run, the arrangement was
probably better for Bradbury than for EC. This, of course,
would be the exception. Charlton's science-fiction
books of the fifties and sixties were pretty bad and no
one would probably want to accuse them of stealing
story ideas for fear of being associated with bad
writing. Still, it was one of the Charlton science-fiction
anthology titles that introduced Captain Atom, so if
nothing else, those books did accomplish one decent
thing.
Take care,
Jon

Thanks for the review. I've found a couple of
them and I am debating whether to pop for what the guy
is asking. It's a "fair" price, I just don't know if
I want them that badly. The first Aparo artwork is
a real temptation though.

I've read about the Bradbury thing. I agree about
the writing too. There is just something about the
mindsets and politics of the time that produced such work
that intrigues me. Every alien is a threat or a fool
who is done in by evil mankind. Astronauts are
supposed to be our "best and brightest" and in these
stories they sometimes come off with not only feet of
clay but mud.

Has anyone any information on the current
situations of Tony Tallarico and Bill Fracchio?
These two
were the artists on the initial Silver Age run of the
Blue Beetle (archeologist Dan Garret phase). I know
Tony Tallarico is seemingly always taken to task as
the epitomy of what bad comic art is, but I have
always liked the work of these two guys on this book.
The storytelling breaks down sometimes, but there is
a sweep and energetic flow to the work which
overcomes many of the sins. Certainly in a world that bows
to the mutated forms of King Kirby there can be no
criticism of those gigantic thighs that Beetle and Son Of
Vulcan sported. (Arnold Beware!)
I have
heard,seen,or read nothing on either of these guys in decades
(beyond derisive comments) and I'm just curious. Have
they passed away or like so many pros from this era,
have they fallen victim to forgetfulness on the part
of the fan community?
Dean
(I don't call
myself SonofVulcan for nothin'.)
P.S. I hope the
upcoming Charlton issue of "Comic Book Artist" will have
answers to lots of questions like these.

Right here son!
As far as I know he is
still available to them. They just have no idea what to
do with him. I haven't seen it but I think there is
a story in which he is killed (is that War of the
Gods?).But we know that means nothing if there is a story
idea out there.

The August issue of "Comic Book Artist" (#9) is
on the stands and while I haven't read any of it
yet, let me share what's on the cover. There is a
fantastic Dick Giordano cover featuring Sarge Steel,Captain
Atom,Blue Beetle(Ted
Kord),Nightshade,Peacemaker,Thunderbolt,The Question, Judomaster & Tiger, and in the
background in silhouette are some western stars and what
looks to be the Fightin'5. There are features and
articles on Giordano,
Morisi(P.A.M.),Aparo,Gill,Boyette,Franz,Glanzman, and a special bloody happy face blurb promising
Alan Moore on the Charlton-Watchmen connection. A scan
of the contents page yields up the names of
Santangelo,Skeates,O'Neil,McLaughlin,and Thomas on the secrets of my namesake. A thumb
through the pages convinces me this is the ONE ladies and
gentlemen. So get it if at all possible and
enjoy!

For the record "Kaji Dha!" is the magic phrase
uttered by Dan Garret whenever he wished to become The
Blue Beetle. The phrase is used in the very first
appearance of Charlton's Silver Age take on the venerable
hero.
You're right, I stopped using it because of an
understandable confusion, but maybe things are firmly
established enough now that I can again sing out those
immortal words with pride.(At least here at the
Bullseye.)

Dear Fellow Charltonians-
I have begun the
reading of this landmark issue and it supplying gold
already. The Joe Gill interview alone is worth the price
of admission. Though brief I learned that Gill was
truly the writing machine I had imagined ever since I
learned he was a real guy and not just a house name. He
is a close friend of Mickey Spillane and his writing
career goes back to the early days at Marvel and the
other "Bigs". Like many he says he worked for Charlton
because though they paid less they left you alone and as
he more energetically put it, he didn't have to deal
with the editors in New York who justified their pay
by fooling with his work. He claims that he was
generating 40 pages a day at times. I believe
him.
Good News/Bad News: The BAD news is that this issue of
"Comic Book Artist" deals only with the Action Line of
Heroes under Dick Giordano's tenure in the middle and
late 60's. The editor had promised material on the
mid-70's Charlton comics under George Wildman but that
stuff was pushed out of this issue. The GOOD news is
that another Charlton issue is promised for early next
year covering the later material.
Counting the
L.A.W. mini-series, that is 8 new Charlton publications
(defacto) in three years.
They are doing pretty well for
company which was bulldozed to the ground years
ago.
Kaji Dha!

Fellow Charltonian-
It advertises itself
as a "Brief History", but I agree that a number of
the early artists were neglected. I have yet to find
mention of Bill Fracchio and Tony Tallarico, except in a
reference to the "lackluster" artwork that preceded Steve
Ditko on "The Blue Beetle". People dismiss this work,
but I'm here to tell you that these guys could draw
rings around anyone at Extreme Studios and then some.
There is no justice in a world where Rob Liefeld is
revered and Tony Tallarico is lampooned or
forgotten.
It's fabulous that you know Matera. Any good stories
that you could share with us fellow Charltonians? It
is a great regret that I never met Pat Boyette. He
was a tremendous talent and now that he has passed, I
notice all sorts of comments to his talent. Aint that
always the way!
Kaji Dha!

I was impressed you knew someone associated with

the name, and for some reason I connect it with comic
strips. Has Matera ever done any work on strips in
addition to comic book work?
Please share. I look

Son of Vulcan, can I make you a co-founder? I'm
currently a founder of approximately a dozen clubs now, and
need to do some delegating... Since you have a lot of
knowledge of Charlton and obviously enjoy this club, would
you like to be co-founder? I prefer to ask before
going ahead with it...

Does anyone have this issue? It was an
Americomics special in the early 80s, which featured Captain
Atom, Nightshade, Blue Beetle, and the Question as a
team called the Sentinels of Justice.
My
question is: WHO is the villain appearing on the cover? He
looks pretty menacing, but entirely unrecognizable to
me...

It would be my pleasure to become a
co-founder of this club. This is the club I would have
started first if it hadn't already been up and running so
well. I love comics, and I like a lot of comics
companies, but Charlton is one of my passions.
Thanks
for asking.

The villian's name is the
"Manipulator". He was a crime-boss named Jonathan Barrington
Collingsworth,Jr. and he despite being in control of a large
network of criminals is actually doing the bidding
(unknowingly) of a hidden mastermind who unfortunately we never
meet because this was the only issue of the "Sentinels
of Justice" to showcase the Charlton heroes. DC had
bought rights and Bill Black published this story and a
Blue Beetle issue of "Americomics" (#3) by special
arrangement with folks at Chartlton.
The issue was
written by Dan St.John and drawn by Greg Guler and Matt
Feazell(on backgrounds). It of course features the four
heroes on the cover and confronts them with a teaming of
the Ditko villians Iron-Arms,Fiery-Icer, and the
Madmen. Also the Banshee shows up towards the end of the
story. It was a mediocre affair to be honest and as much
as I wish AC had retained the rights to the Charlton
characters, this is not the team I would have wished upon
them.
For the record Black went on to create
another team known as the Sentinels of Justice comprised
of his own Captain Paragon,Scarlet
Scorpion,Stardust,Nightveil,and Commando D. I will say that those issues have a
great sense of fun. I see this episode as a harbinger
of what was to happen to these characters at DC when
they were being considered for the Watchmen role. They
were saved for us by the narrowest of
margins.

I took a little time to gather up some images and
create a few albums. All are of old Charlton comics and
most of it is pretty unusual and sometimes bizarre. A
few are even likely to be offensive. I do not include
these because they are offensive but rather to document
some of the strange things the company known as
Charlton has published over the years.
There is an
album of "Blue Beetle" covers from the 50's revival of
the character at Charlton. This Beetle never said
"Kaji Dha". Included also is the "Nature Boy" comic in
which is contained a Blue Beetle story. I know Nature
Boy is in another album but I have not been able to
call up that particular image.
There is an
album for a very old Charlton comic called "Space
Western". The logo design will be familiar to Charlton
fans, though I dare to say the material here will not.
"Spurs Jackson & His Space Vigilantes" was a new one on
me. Has anyone seen or better yet read a copy of this
magazine?
The third album contains sundry unusual images. Among
them is an example of regional and racial sterotyping.
I apologize in advance if anyone takes offense, but
again that is not the reason for showing these images.
Charlton sought all the angles in which to make a buck,
and this display shows that in
abundance.
Enjoy and Possibly Learn.
Kaji Dha!

There are two new links to a couple of sites
featuring some great Charlton covers. Doc connected one
that is for a collection of Ghost and Monster Comics
covers, and it is filled with images of obscure and
enticing Charlton material. The other is to a special
Ditko location which is part of the great "Marvel
Comics Silver Age Covers"site by Nick Simon. There is a
special gallery of Ditko's work for various publishers
and there is a special set of pages for his Charlton
work. He worked for the company a long time and there
are a lot of wonderful images here.

One of the sad notes in the recent "Comic Book
Artist" issue on Charlton was the news that Fred Himes
had passed away. I associated Himes with "Valley of
the Dinosaurs", a TV adaptation done in the mid-70's.
He also did numerous ghost and western jobs for
Charlton over the years. He was an associate of Pat
Boyette, and the art styles of both men were similar in
approach. I had assumed in the 70's that Himes was a
youngster who was emulating the more experienced Boyette.
That was not the case. Both men apparently worked
together off and on for years. Ironically they died within
months of one another.
Himes had a style that I came
to appreciate more as the years passed and my
understanding of comic art matured. Like so many of the
Charlton artists he labored in relative obscurity except
for those of us who were lucky enough to find his
work.

Welcome to the Chartlton Internet campfire. Don't
hesitate to speak up and make your opinions known. This is
a kind and friendly place and we like to know what
others think of that little Derby, Connecticut company.
What's your favorite Charlton character? What period of
the company interests you most? What genre do you
read most?
We are interested, and we are glad
to have you.

Some new links are added which will take you to
some very pretty sites. "Space:1999" was produced by
Charlton as both a color comic and B&W magazine. Images of
the covers to all of them are available at two new
links. Also there is a link to a site about the
"Six-Million Dollar Man" and "Bionic Woman" comics produced by
Charlton around the same time. There is little in the way
of graphics but basic info is available.

Hey Son of Vulcan and Doctorquantum! Thanks for
inviting me to your club. I've been a comic book reader
since '74, and Charlton Comics were in abundance in my
home town in Virginia. These comics, along with DC,
Marvel, and Gold Key brought much adventure into my life,
and steered me to becoming a freelance artist. I am
currently working with DC Comics' License Department on a
JLA kids project, and have been doing Role-playing
game art since '96. A Joe Kubert School student, I've
seen many original and photocopied comic pages in my
time, but I can't get over the quality of work at
Charlton. No--not that Charlton did things better than
Marvel or DC, because I don't think they did--but at a
meager $13 a page, artists turn out some fabulous work!
Ditko, Byrne, Aparo, Giordano, etc.. I love Don Newton's
brief stint on the Phantom comics ---They are
fantastic! Doomsday + 1--Captain Atom--so many good
things!
Glad to be aboard!

Loston-
Happy to have you here at the
Charlton Internet Campfire. There has been a drop off in
the activity here of late, but hopefully with new
members like yourself and the recent "Comic Book Artist"
issue on the Action Heroes things will begin to jump
here.
It is a pleasure to have a pro with us. The insights
you will be able to share will certainly be a
learning experience for me. As I mature(decay) I find
myself becoming more and more interested in the history
and methods of comics and comic production. It is
worth noting that the wonderful Charlton stuff was done
for so much less, and it is nice to get an
understanding of how that was possible. The interviews with
Giordano and Gill were enligtening. It seems the Charlton
experience was different for the creators as well as for the
readers.
Kaji Dha,
Dean

You know, as a kid, I new Charlton as the "3rd
company" (Marvel and DC being the top dogs). Charlton's
colors and paper quality was not near the quality of the
"Big two", but Charlton had something special. For me,
I loved their Ghost & monster books, and
occassionally their superhero stuff might find its way to a
supermarket rack, and yours truly would be there to snatch it
up. Ditko's Captain Atom stories were loads of fun
for me. Doomsday +1 blew me away, and I still love
Charlton comics to this day. They're somewhat scarce these
days though. None of the comic shops here in New
Jersey seem to have more than 3 back issues at all. I'm
moving to North Carolina this month, so I'm hoping to
find a wealth of back issues there someplace. Anyone
know of a good source? Other than Ebay, I haven't a
clue.

I don't know how it is now, but several years ago
Raleigh had a number of good stores. The city is in close
to several colleges and that apparently created a
big market. I would hesitate to name any as they may
well be defunct. I know that Central Kentucky had a
lot of stores until the last few years and now the
area is down to two. Cincinnati has a few more (and
some excellent ones too), but there are fewer outlets
than in the 80's for sure. I realize how lucky I have
been by reading some of the posts here and elsewhere
on Yahoo; a number of fans out there have no real
outlets.
My nearest Comics shop is slightly less
than 20 miles away. I make a weekly trip. Within an
hour of my home are four more stores that I visit on
an irregular basis.
What are the situations
of the membership? How close is the nearest comics
shop to your house?
Kaji Dha!

I'll tell you--I've got access to 14 comicshops
in Northern New Jersey. No foolin'! With the Joe
Kubert School and New York City so close, it's no
wonder. The closest one to me is under a mile away! It's
not a great shop, but it's handy. Many of the shops
here also deal in toys and action figures and even
roleplaying games. A couple are model shops too. I'm gon'na
miss that in Raleigh.

Fellow Charltonians-
Following the example
of a few other clubs I am initiating a question of
the week. In an attempt to prod our collective
memories and start some conversations, I will put up a new
question about every week or so.
Our first question
is:
WHICH ONE CHARLTON CHARACTER IS YOUR
FAVORITE?
Feel free to draw from any of Charlton's eras and from
any genre of comic. For example is your favorite
Captain Atom, The Iron Corporal, The Montana Kid, or
perhaps Baron Wierwulf? I have lots of favorites, but if
I were forced to choose my answer would
be:
The Silver-Age Scarab-powered BLUE BEETLE.
The
character is much maligned, and I see the many virtues of
Ditko's later reinterpretation of the classic character,
but that bright blue hero has a purity of heroism
which is hard to ignore. Many focus on what they see as
weak art (I would disagree to some extent) and to
sometimes scatterbrained writing (I would agree to some
extent), but the Beetle has a rip-snorting menagerie of
villians comparable to Batman (given time to develop) and
a worldwide mileau that gave his adventures a sense
of gravity often lacking in more modernesqe humbler
characters (see "Action Heroes").
As I said I could
pick several out, but if I had to choose just ONE, the
Blue Beetle gets the nod.
Who is your SINGLE
FAVORITE Charlton character?
I look forward to
hearing some interesting responses.
Kaji
Dha!

I'm extremely busy moving from NJ to NC at the
moment, but I have an idea. First of all, are there any
other club members who are freelance artists? Any
colorists?
My idea: I thought that I'd offer to do a
club drawing for the photos section or even for the
display photo on the home page. If folks would want this,
maybe everyone could vote on the characters? Any of
this sound fun at all? Keep in mind, I'd have to do it
on my free time.
Let me know.

Loston-
I can only speak for myself but I
would very much be interested in what you would be able
to do along the lines of original art for the club.
I would certainly be happy to feature it on the
front page.
I think I have made my ardor for
the Silver Age Blue Beetle pretty well known so I
would only hint that he in some way figure into your
composition. Assuming that you have no particular preferences
maybe I could arrange a Poll on this site which would
tally interest in individual charcters. What do you
think?
Thanks for the kind offer.

The nearest comics shop to my house? It's right around one hundred and fifty miles, or as the locals measure distance it's "two six packs and a thirst" away.

That would be nice--Hey, how about I work up a
composition of the top 10 characters? How about that? Again,
I'd do it on my free time, but it'd be cool to do,
and I could use it as a portfolio piece as well! My
votes for Captain Atom at any rate (the original
costume). Currently, I'm working on a JLA kidsbook for DC
Comics' License Department. It's done in the Batman
Animated series style, & is a lot of fun. No--no Beetle,
but it's got a bunch of cool core members. Superman,
Batman, WonderWoman, Aquaman (bearded new version),
Flash, Green Lantern (Kyle Rahner version), & the
Martian Manhunter. Perhaps drawing them in the Bruce Timm
style might be a fun thing?! If not, I can easily
render them in the Silver Age style that they sprang
from. Either way.
For a glimpse at some of my
current DC stuff, check
out:

Beautiful work there, Loston. I for one love the
Batman/Superman Animated style and would be very interested in
what you could come up with using the Charlton
characters... if you post it in one of the albums, I can link
it to the front page so anyone visiting can click on
the miniature and see it full-size...

Hey Doc, that sounds mighty fine. I was just
thinking that there's almost no chance of ever seeing
Charlton characters done in the Bruce Timm style
otherwise.
Oh yeah, anyone got any ideas on how I can
get my hands on Charlton back issues?

Jon-
I was thinking about you when I asked the
question. I knew from previous conversations that it was
quite a hike to a comics store for you. I realize (and
have for some time) that I live in a pretty
comics-rich environment. Until a couple of years ago there
were at least twelve stores within an hour and a half
of my house. That number is probably cut in half at
this point, but there are still a lot.
In my
youth there was one very good drugstore (where I got
started), and one excellent newstand.
I may have told
this before (sign of being a coot) but the stand was
actually a tiny street-side stand and it was run by a
gruff, old blind man. He scared me to death, but I
overcame that and eventually became one of his trusted
customers, who he relied upon to keep an eye on the new
folks for him. Later he got an actual store and I now
know had a splendid display of comics, unlike anything
I have ever seen outside of a specialty comics
store.
I know you can relate to this, but I sometimes miss
chasing all over town trying to get the latest issues.
Last night I drove to my regular store ( which I had
called previously to reserve my selections) and I picked
them up, bought them and I was out of there in five
minutes. Usually I spend more time, but gone was the
thrill of spinning the rack and finding the unknown
treasure. It was a kind of poor man's roulette wheel. I
know that two months of hunting down my comics would
wear me down, but sometimes it is just too easy these
days. Those of you not so lucky probably wonder what I
yammering about, but there is something tasty in the chase
after all.
Kaji Dha!

Loston-
I have no way of knowing if it is
still there, but a number of my 60's vintage comics
came from a place in Raleigh called "Tales Resold". I
believe I'm telling you the truth. You might try that
when you arrive. As I remember it was pretty close to
the downtown area.

You prompted me to go and dig out the "Killjoy"
story. It was a lot of fun. This character may have been
the most poetentially successful advocate of Steve
Ditko's black/white philosophy because HE DID NOT TALK.
The one thing that weighs down those "Mr.A" stories
(and the Mysterious Suspense "Question" appearance) is
the ponderous dialogue. In Killjoy I noticed the
villians (and a more preposterous group you likely never
find) did all of the talking playing off of the mute
Killjoy. He never uttered one platitude,but rather let
them talk themselves into corners and making the point
for him. There is plenty of that Ditko kinetic frenzy
which is his signature on his athletic
heroes.
Thanks for the reminder Waltsland!

The conversation took a natural turn when Loston
made his gracious offer, but I'm still interested in
which Charlton character is each member's favorite. You
can choose from any genre or time in the company's
history. Licensed characters are perfectly in play for
this question as far as I'm concerned.
I think
a few of those response have been coming through in
response to characters we would like to see Loston draw,
but they haven't been precisely clear.
Remember, if you had to choose ONE, which character is your
favorite?

Hi, I'm the new kid on the block here. Anyway,
I'd probably have to go with the Phantom as my
favorite Charlton character. I know he was a licensed
character but he was probably Charlton's most popular
"Action Hero" considering a run spanning about 8 years.
The Charlton Phantom also benefitted from great art
and artists including Aparo, Boyette, the vastly
underrated Bolle, and the justly celebrated
Newton.

The Phantom was one the reasons I made a point of
mentioning licensed characters when I put the reminder on
the question. He probably would be Chartlon's most
successful maskedman type, though he obviously isn't one of
thier own.
As for Frank Bolle, I'm glad to see
his name get a mention. That mundane style is not in
vogue in some parts, but it sure tells a clear story.
Have you checked out the link to the Don Newton site.
It is a fabulous site and I heartily recommend
it.

Dean,
I won't say he was my favorite
Charlton character, because I only saw two episodes of his
short-lived series, but 'The Iron Corporal' was certainly one
of the finest things I ever saw from Charlton. Good
war comics are few and far between in one is
interested in war stories that actually have anything to do
with war and this ANZAC character had a lot going for
him, mostly that he was depicted as a human being
coping as best he could in terrible circumstances. He
occassionally did something heroic but he seldom risked his
life without calculating the odds, and mostly he was
depicted as a good soldier, not the spit and polish kind
but the one you would want to back you up if you knew
you were crossing open ground with the possibility of
a sniper somewhere around; if you got hit, chances
are the Iron Corporal would drag you back in. The
Pacific War setting was also interesting, and the ANZAC
troops were depicted more as guerrillas than typical
British troops.
Again, I wouldn't say this was my
favorite Charlton series, but it is one I have a lot of
respect for and I thought it deserved some mention among
the inevitable outpourings about Captain Atom, Blue
Beetle, the Question, Thunderbolt and etc.
Take
care,
Jon

...I think there were two? CH. Killjoy stories ,
and , I HAVE seen the suggestion that Ditko was
poking a little bit of fun at himself/how stiff his
expression of his philosophy could be , in Killjoy-? Sort of
like a 2nd ( or 3d ) level conservative 60s editorial
cartoonist , with " Mr. And Mrs John Q. Citizen " , being "
Fed Up " with
" Punks , Protestors , And Pinkos "

...If you're 29 , were you reading comics at the

full-fledged ( I . E . , producing
NEW COMICS !!!!! )
comics company after about '77 , or '76 , even , tho' ,
granted , they still had stuff on th' stands ( Sometimes
under the Modern Comics banner ? ) as late as '86/'87?
, though , granted as well , this wouldn't mean
much , to somebody who wasn't a " fan " , 'long's

Speaking of characters not discussed much--what
were the Charlton ghost storie's characters? I
remember a blue-green chick, a specter type (kind of a
white RAGMAN type, and Dr Graves--Any others? Anyone
have the names of the specter or the blue chick? She'd
be cool to draw!

Have I been waiting to talk to you!
Way back at Post #168 I put up a list of Charlton

and the little white fellow is called "Impy". For the
full list checkout the earlier post. Do you know any I
have overlooked. I'd like to get the list
comprehensive.

Hi all,
SSSTAN, a member of the Charlton
club, has posted on my About.com Forum in the past. I
thought I'd poke my head in here and let you all know
that I'm running a game of Jeopardy with a comic book
theme on the Forum, and one of the categories is
"Charlton Comics!"
Everyone missed the first
question:
"John Byrne robot that premiered in the back of
E-MAN."
But one player managed to nail:
"Creator of The
Question, upon whom Watchmen's Rorschach is
based."
Right now, I'm waiting for an answer to:
"Home city
to many Charlton characters, including the Blue
Beetle."
It's been a fun game so far, and there are still
enough questions left for pretty much anyone to win. If
you're interested, just go
to:
http://forums.about.com/ab-comicbooks/messages/?lgnF=y&msg=260.1&ctx=1
The more the merrier! I've been an on-again,
off-again Charlton reader for about 20 years now. I had a
complete run on E-MAN at one point, and have quite a few
of Charlton's SF comics.
All the
best!

Glad to have the offer. I tried but couldn't
navigate over to your game. My meager computer skills let
me down once again. I hope you stick around and
perhaps dream up a nice quiz just for the
membership.

Dean,
I know almost nothing about
Professor Coffin, but I'll make a guess. I would imagine
there is a good chance that Professor Coffin worked for
Miskatonic University. Or would that be too
obvious?
Take care,
Jon

Let me formally welcome you to the Charlton

Thanks for trying Jon. That's not right but it is
a great guess. I correct in thinking this is the
institute of higher learning referred to in H.P.Lovecraft's
work. If I'm mistaken clear me up, I'm
curious.

Dean,
Yes, Miskatonic University appears
in several of H.P. Lovecraft's stories (notably 'The
Colour Out of Space') and you'll occassionally see it as
an in-joke in sci-fi movies. Someone actually
connected it tenatively with Arkham Institute and I thought
since I didn't know the answer to your question it was
an educated (no pun intended) guess.
Take
care,
Jon

A tough question for me as I don't have that much
knowledge of the characters during the time Charlton were
actually publishing them. In terms of execution of the
characters I would say that the Question as done by Ditko is
my favourite. However as a concept I think
Thunderbolt would get my vote as the one with the most
potential. I'll have to wait until I get around to reading
some of his adventures to see if they live up to my
expectations.
Regards,
Steve.

Here is the question again with a hint:
Professor Coffin worked for what University?
(Hint:He might have met "Rosebud" there.)
Good Luck and Kaji Dha!

Sorry you couldn't get to the messages -- The
link from my first message is supposed to take you
right to it. You have to register with Delphi before
you can post, and that's kind of a pain.
:-)
I'll admit; My Charlton knowledge is lacking overall,
but maybe I could come up with a cool question to
post here sometime.
As About.com Comic Books
guide, I do get an awful lot of questions asking where
to find good Charlton info on the Web. As you are
all no doubt aware, the number of Charlton sites is
pretty slim. Any recommendations you would have for
pointing folks in the right direction would be much
appreciated.
All the
best!

Yesterday, a friend of mine and I went out in the
dreary rain to a local comic shop. The store was filled
with back issues, classics and toys. I asked the
gentlemen behind the counter if he had any Charlton back
issues---His response, "No--sorry." But I looked through his
stuff, and came up with some Byrne FF's that I missed
back in '81. Not too bad! Unfortunately, my buddy also
needed those issues--what to do? Then the-man
behind-the-counter spoke, "Those boxes on the bottem have duplicates
of that stuff--if you wanna take time to look them
through."
We did. What did I find? Charlton's E-man #1 in
MINT condition! The man-behind-the-counter was amazed
as well! I ended up with the FF's and E-man--a great
comic day!

Confession:
I owned quite a few issues of
Charlton's E-MAN in the mid-80s, as well as Simonson's
complete THOR run of that time. But I sold them both for
credit towards DC Comics backissues. And now I wish I
still had them. (I also had the first 10 issues of
SANDMAN -- I still have the rest of the series -- and
although I've since bought the reprints, if I'd kept them,
I could've sold them for a pretty penny in the
present...)

It was Xanadu University! I won't
laugh.
Was the choke on the coffee one of humor or horror? I
could see either reaction. The cover itself is tame,
but the concept of such a comic is pretty dreadful.
Hopefully we are beyond some of these things, a little. Oh
you can call me "Son", all of my students do, or
something like that.

Is that E-Man #1 cover image skewed? I have seen
a few of them and each one I've seen has the cover
off to angle. Just curious?
Tell me what you
think of the "Knight" story. It is a hidden gem in the
Charlton canon.

Here is another in an endless array (it seems
that way doesn't it) of quizzes. The following are all
the real names of Charlton characters. There are both
villians and heroes on the list.
1. Who is Jack
Biceps?
2. Who is Chung Hui?
3. Who is Katrinka
Colchnzski?
4. Who is Alec Rois?
5. Who is Johnny
Mann?
Enjoy!

Alec Rois is the Ghost from so many "Captain Atom" issues I lost track.
Johnny Mann is the Son of Vulcan.

In re-reading the SARGE STEEL stories in the
backs of several issues of JUDOMASTER, I really would
like to see a miniseries featuring Steel in his early
days as an agent. I'm not all that fond of his more
recent DC appearances, in which he always played the
role of "M" in the stories, instead of remaining a
James Bond type as he was meant to be... Some of those
old stories were REALLY cool... and Dick Giordano's
early work is FAR more appealing than anything I've
seen him do in recent years.

Dean,
Doc has eliminated #1 and I believe
Chung Hui was the star of 'Yang'. Assumming that I'm
correct (which I'm not particularly), that only leaves
Katrinka Colchnzski. I'll take a guess and say she
performed under the stage name "Nova Kane."
Are we
done with this one now?
Curious,
Jon

The reaction on seeing the cover was more one of
humour mixed with bemusement I guess. You're right
though, the cover itself wasn't bad but the
title....simply amazing, btw, when was this book actually
produced? I'm guessing mid 50's?
Regards,
Steve.

Good going Jon. Chung Hui is the real name of the
man called "Yang". Katrinka is the real name of the
woman known as "Nova Kane".
But #1 is still
open. This is the hardest one on this quiz in my
opinion (and as demonstrated).
Hint: He is a
villian in a starring role.

You are right. My Overstreet gives a 1955 date for the book. It seems to be a continuation of a Fawcett series and I only see one issue (mercifully) by Charlton.

Dean,
I'll wager that Jack Biceps became
the eminently absurd Captain Atom villain "Iron
Arms." I refuse to believe that Jack Biceps was his
given name; biceps must have been a corruption of his
last name or one of the most unlikely aliases of all
times.
Are we done with this puppy now?

A few catching up things:
Moving to North
Carolina? Hmm...I can't suggest Charlton-oriented shops,
but I can suggest Shelton Drumm's Heroes Convention
which happens roughly every June in Charlotte. It's a
pretty respectable con, and a number of artists who
worked for Charlton at one time or another were there
this year (including Steve Skeates and Sam
Glanzman).
QOTW #1: The Question, no doubt. After that...E-Man.
Seriously.
Club Picture Question #1: I have no idea where this
version came from, but I've got the Americomics pic up on
my Question site, which I got off of E-Bay. I later
bought three copies of the comic for $.25, but one went
to Mr. Bob Layton, one's promised to Scott McCullar
of GA Compendium fame and the other, of course,
remains in my collection.
Club Picture Question
#2: I agree with everyone else on the fact that
fan-drawn club pictures would kick ass. I don't work in
DC's licensing dept. or anything, but I'd be willing
to do a sketch or two for the good of the cause too.
Maybe we could make a photo album?
CBA: Does
anyone have a spare copy of the newest Comic Book
Artist? None of the stores in my area have it, and I'm
hoping someone could mail me an extra copy (for
compensation, of course).

The puppy lives. Good guess (I thought someone

"Iron Arms".

I did this about a year and a half ago, before the
series came out. The proportions are really off, and I
didn't do alot of work on the faces. Capn Atom's costume
looks like crap, but, anyway, here's a start. I'll do
another later.

Jack Biceps is (drum roll... tat a tat atatatatat
a tat tat) "Sinestro Boy Fiend". He appeared in the
warmly remembered "Charlton Premiere", issue #3 to be
specific. He was a satirical sendup of the superhero
shtick. The character was very well drawn by Henry
Scarpelli. The writer is unlisted, though somebody probably
knows who it was. Jack is a teen who thinks it is
unfair that the heroes get all the breaks and sets out
to become a villian. During the course of his spree
he encounters Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, and three new
guys named Superguy,the Green Spider and Captain USA.
His biggest problem is getting people to take him
seriously as a villian.
Of course Charlton Premiere
only had four issues in all. In the first there was a
triad of tales featuring "The Shape" (ghost written by
Roy Thomas we learn in CBA #9),"The Tyro Team", and
Boyette's "Spookman". The second issue featured the
well-regarded "Children of Doom". Issue three had our boy
Sinestro, and issue four featured "Unlikely Tales" a slight
variation on the ghost-host formula of scary
stories.
Is "Sinestro Boy Fiend" the work of Steve Skeates
perhaps?
Lotsa Luck and Good Afternoon.
Kaji
Dha!

Argh! The name "Biceps" totally threw me off...
Hey, not to be overly anal retentive, but isn't his
name actually "Sinistro, Boy Fiend"...?
Here's
my trivia question:
Who are Rick Strong,
Cindy Carson and Crunch Wilson, and was their
occupation?

Doc-
Rick Strong, Cindy Carson and Crunch
Wilson were a folk-singing trio, known as "The
Protesters" I think. They were selected by a scientist to use
his inventions (a flying belt, a brain-enhanicing
tiara, and strength-enhancing gloves) and they became
"The Sentinels".
Rick became "Helio", Cindy became
"Mentalla", and Crunch became "Brute". I'm operating strictly
on memory here so if some of this is incorrect I'm
sure it will be straightened out.
You are
absolutely correct; it was "SinIstro,Boy Fiend". And that's
not being anal, that's just being correct.
Thanks.

Yes. The ACG Comics connection was explained
quite nicely. Also the stuff on PAM and Thunderbolt was
clarified.
On a related note, the new stuff spotlighted by Pete
Morisi (PAM) looks quite entertaining. A new take on
"The Face" and a hero who like Thunderbolt has some
Golden Age Daredevil elements to his costume. I would
love to see more of either or both of these. Someone
out there offer the man a contract.

Steve Ditko aside, who is the most significant
talent which has come from the ranks of the Charlton
Comics Division?
There are more artists than I
can name, but which if any is the most significant
talent from the Derby, Connecticut company? Was it
Byrne? Staton? Giordano? Boyette? Aparo? Alascia? PAM?
Newton? Who would it be?
There are many writers
who began at Charlton. Which if any is the most
significant talent from the company's long history? Was it
Gill? Skeates?
Cuti? Kaler? O'Neill? Who would it
be?
Remember you can't pick Steve Ditko (or the poll wouldn't
be worth taking). Which ONE talent would you
select?
My answer is Joe Gill. The man was a machine. I am
way overly impressed by creators who not only do
their jobs competently, but do them consistently over a
long period of time. There is no writer I am aware of
who has done this much actual writing in the comics
field (at least in America). I have said before that I
assumed for years that "Joe Gill" was a house name used
by Charlton for any unguessed number of actual
people who were really writing all those comics. I
couldn't imagine one guy generating that much material. My
imagination was weak indeed. The obvious argument is that
outside Charlton, Gill hardly matters, but without Joe
Gill I have no idea what Charlton would be.
Lotsa Luck and Good Afternoon!

Don't be so quick to resort to a simple "pick
your favorite" on this question. There are real
criteria which can be applied. What would the effect of
this talent not having worked for Charlton have been?
How would the Charlton we know be a different place
but for the work of this talent, whether that talent
was a writer, artist, or both? Favortites can be a
criteria, but they by no means must be.

"Silver Age Collectors" is a club out there in
the Yahoo wilderness that is in need of some help.
The concept of the club is broad enough that many of
the regulars here might enjoy some time there. The
Silver Age is defined fairly broadly and it frees the
discussion to delve into all aspects and companies which
were out and about during the S.A. Give it a try. The
address

Ruling out "Sturdy Steve" was the point. He
clearly wins the contest, but with him out of the picture
who is left? That's the point.
What makes you
think I'm a PAWN of Ms.Albright's. Might it make sense
that she serves MY ulterior machinations? Wheelie it
was, and there is a certain distilled essence to those
adventures. Thanks for pointing it out Walter.

Are you suggesting that Son of Vulcan (my
namesake) was not a thoroughly successful character? How
dare you intimate such vile distortions. The fact that
SoV hasn't made even a dozen appearances in 35 years
might indicate that he was not exactly burning up the
sales charts, or it might indicate he was yet another
of Alan Moore's unfinished efforts. Who really knows
the truth Walter? Who really knows?

Son of Vulcan, I'm curious as to how we can
determine a top 10 Charlton characters for me to draw for
the club. I've decided that I'll throw in Capt Atom,
Blue Beetle, and Nightshade in addition to the
10--that should make the other ten more interesting. Any
ideas on an offical voting method?

Sorry Loston! Like so many things here, once it
goes off the front page it gets forgotten. You need 10
characters so the easiest method seems to me for everyone to
nominate their 10 candidates and then those lists will be
compared and the top 10 vote getters will be your
subjects. Of course there is no need to include Captain
Atom, Blue Beetle, and Nightshade on any lists since
they already have made it.
I'll start it off
with my 10 selections:
1. Peacemaker
2.
Thunderbolt
3. JudoMaster
4. E-Man
5. Rog-2000
6.
Dr.Graves
7. Arachne Coffin
8. Son of Vulcan
9.
Cheyenne Kid
10.The Question
I couldn't think of
a War character who would be immediately
recognizable though there are several good candidates. The
list is heavy with males which is why Arachne may be a
better choice than her uncle. Winnie the Witch would be
a nice distaff choice too, or the Baroness Von
Bludd.
Now each member should put up a formal list of 10
candidates and then we can tally the numbers. This needs to
have a time limit, so let's say that the final tally
will be done this weekend.
Thanks for this
gracious offer again Loston.
Kaji Dha!

I'll go with some who will obviously be
winners:
1. Thunderbolt
2. Judomaster
3. Son of
Vulcan
4. E-Man
5. Peacemaker
add some unexpected
ones (the criteria is charactes not heroes,
correct)
6. Ghost
7. Punch
8. Jewelee
and two
obvious losers, who do deserve at least a
mention
9. Gunmaster
10. Mr. Mucscles
I was
tempted to add Sarge Steel to the list somewhere, but I'm
sure he'll garner some votes anyway. There probably
should be some representation from the western, war, and
horror genres but I really don't think there are any
Charlton characters who are instantly recognizable from
Charlton books in those genres. I was tempted to throw in
Gorgo, but the problem of scale makes it more trouble
than it would be worth. I really don't expect to see
all three of my villianous nominations make the final
cut, but I would like to see one make the final cut
and using Jewelee is a way to include another female
(Nova would also work however, so I wouldn't mind
seeing her rack up some votes).
I'm probably
nearly as curious to see the end voting tally as I am to
see the finished product. This is a generous offer on
Loston's part and I appreciate it.
Take
care,
Jon

Great, keep up the list of top 10 characters! Has anyone got a scanner and would be willing to send me reference shots of some characters? That'd be a tremendous help.
Thanks,

First thing I'd like to do is thank Loston for
his offer, like others have done here. Secondly, I'd
like to offer my list, bearing in mind my selection
criteria is which character looks cool.
1)The
Question.
2)Thunderbolt.
3)Dr Graves.
4)Peacemaker
5)The Smiling
Skull.
6)Abbot and Costello (yes, really)
7)Willy Schultz (I
deliberated over this, would people recognise
him?)
8)Sarge Steel
9)Wander
10)E-Man
I thought that
the War comics should be represented in some way
hence Willy Schultz's inclusion,would The Fightin' Five
count as one choice or am I being
greedy?
Regards,
Steve.

Does anyone know anything about a Charlton comic
from the early 60's called Reptilicus? A friend of
mine bought it from Forbidden Planet in London for
25p. I haven't seen it yet but he says its in very
good condition.

Nope. We will just count total number of votes
and keep things simple. Whoever shows up on the most
lists will get the nod. The problem won't be the first
five or six, but the ones everyone chooses for that
personal flavor. If we end up with a bunch of one-vote
candidates we can do a quick second round vote with just
those characters as the slate.
I wouldn't think
licensed stuff would work that well, but I don't see a
technical reason not to. I didn't put the Phantom on my
list for that reason.

Stephen-
The answer is yes. According to my
Overstreet Charlton published two issues of "Reptilicus" in
1961. Doubtless these are tie-ins to the notorious
monster flick of the same name. I have seen copies, but I
have never examined them. The book became
"Reptisaurus" with issues #3 and ran through issue #8 in 1962.
There is apparently a Special Edition #1 in the Summer
of 1963.
Assuming Overstreet has that right,
that should be enough for you guys to put it into some
context. By the way what is "25p" in U.S.currency if you
happen to know? I don't know if your friend got a deal
or not, but it sounds like it.

Sonofvulcan,
As far as I'm concerned, if
it carried a Charlton logo it's elligable by me. I
don't mind drawing the Phantom, whose most noteable
comic run was Charlton Comics. Hell, I'll draw Sad Sack
if the vote goes that route! I'm primarily
interested in doing a nice Charlton illustration for the
club. Charlton characters have been neglected in
comics--undeservedly so.
Hey, do I get a vote? Have I done that
already? I really can't recall. For Arguments sake, here
goes (remember Capt A, B.Beetle, and Nightshade are
already a given!):
1)E-man
2)Impy(the horror
book host)
3)Winnie the witch , that green/blue
chick (horror book host again)
4)Phantom
5)Dr
Graves
6)Peace Maker
7)Judo Master
8)the Question (though
I believe he's one of the "given" characters
9)
& 10) I'll have to think about---

Walter-
When I read that line about buying the
Son of Vulcan for Roy Thomas in the Dick Giordano
interview I assumed he bought it for the company so Roy
(then employed by DC) could use the character, but
after your question I went back and read the article
again. Nothing conclusive about who owns the rights to
SoV, but it apparently isn't DC. I noticed that
whenever any of the L.A.W. characters were presented
graphically there was a clear DC Comics copyright indication.
There was also a designation for "the respective
copyright holder". That was the designation for SoV. What
is odd though is there is a copyright for Roy Thomas
for a photo of him but no such indication for Son of
Vulcan. So I don't know. Maybe Roy does have the rights,
or those rights have reverted or been sold to some
other unknown party.
Related detail on the
cover, only DC owned property plus Thunderbolt are shown
in full color. There are a smattering of silhouettes
which are Cheyenne Kid,Fightin'5,and Sentinels but
again no Son of Vulcan. So we know for sure that SoV is
not a DC property.
Thanks for asking the
question. I had just made one false assumption and had
looked no further.

Welcome thefreedomfighters to the Charlton
Internet Campfire and sometime Weenie-Roast. We are always
glad when another fan of the little Derby, Connecticut
company finds his or her way to our place. Settle in and
feel free to participate.
We are currently
voting on a list of 10 Charlton characters to go into a
drawing that one of the membership (a professional) has
graciously offered to draw for the club. Blue Beetle,
Captain Atom, and Nightshade are already in. But which
Charlton favorites would you like to see rendered? Let us
know!
Welcome Again!

Don't forget to vote for the 10 Charlton
characters you would like Loston to put into the original
drawing he is doing for the club. Remember Blue Beetle,
Captain Atom, and Nightshade are already in. Which other
10 characters would you like to see. I will tabulate
the votes early next week, so get those lists
in.

The question:
What University did Nova Kane
(of E-Man fame) attend?
The answer:
Xanadu
University.
Yep, Nova attended the same University
that Professor Cyrus Coffin of "Midnight Tales" taught
at, and young Arachne Coffin attended. In fact there
is even a cameo by Arachne in an issue of E-Man.
This seemed at the time an attempt to tie-in the
various characters of the Charlton universe into
something approaching continuity. Outside of a few E-Man
posters in several comics I don't remember many other
such details. Does anyone else?

I think I'd go for Willie Schultz for the 10th
spot, mainly because the list seems very super hero
heavy and I think a bit of balance would be
nice.Honestly, Dean, I have nothing against your namesake
:).

Steve.

No offense at all Steve. I didn't vote on this
immediately myself because of the reason you raise, and that
is the list is very superhero and male heavy. Can't
do anything about the latter and I want to do the
right thing about the former, but I just want to see
what Loston can do with the old Son of Vulcan.
So my vote for #10 is Son of Vulcan.

Hey Dean,
I think I was a little unclear
about the "given" characters--When I said I'd do
Capt.Atom, Blue Beetle, and Nightshade --I meant that I'd
throw them in for FREE in addition to the TOP 10 club
choices! Meaning there would be a final tally of 13
characters in the club pictures! Sorry, I wasn't clearer
about that.
So we have:
Capt. Atom
Blue
Beetle
Nightshade
1. E-man
2. Peacemaker
3. Thunderbolt
4.
Judomaster
5.The Question
6. Dr Graves
7. Son of
Vulcan
8. Willie Schultz
9?
10?
That's how things
should stand now I believe--
I think a second round
of voting is in order to determine the last 2
choices--What do you think Dean?

Over the weekend, I made it around to several of
the local comic shops in my area. New to Raleigh,
myself and a friend explored 5 comic shops and I found
and purchased the following:
*Mysterious Suspense
#1 (Return of the Question)
*Ghostly Haunts
#39
*Blue Beetle # 52 (a 12 cent comic from '65
*Prof.
Coffin #19
*Midnight Tales # 17
*E-man #2 and #3
(Giving me all three of the first 3 issues)
*Ghosts of
Doctor Graves # 2
*Charlton Bullsey #4
*Haunted
#2!
Quite a Charlton haul!! I also bought Fantastic
Four #62, Nexus #7, and Turok Son of the Stone #109--A
great day indeed.

My mistake. Okay let's try this again.
We
have eight characters selected in addition to Captain
Atom, Blue Beetle, and Nightshade. Making the cut were
E-Man, Peacemaker, Thunderbolt, Judomaster, The
Question, Dr.Graves, Son of Vulcan, and Willie Schultz.
That gives us a total of eleven so far. On the ballot
for the last two slots are:
Arachne
Coffin
Impy
Winnie the Witch
Cheyenne
Kid
Gunmaster
Wander
Mr.Muscles
Michael Mauser
Nova
Capt.Boyd Ellis
(Doomsday+1)
Yang
Sarge Steel
The Phantom
Killjoy
Gorgo
The
Ghost
Jewelee
Punch
The Smiling Skull
Abbot & Costello (2
characters)
Tyro Team (3 characters)
I believe this is a
full and accurate slate of all those characters which
recieved one vote each on the first ballot. Select two
which you think would work best on the drawing Loston
is planning for the club. Sorry for the
confusion.
Kaji Dha!

Good point Loston, and you may as well enjoy the
subjects so I'll cast a vote for Winnie the Witch and I'll
also cast a vote for Jewelee. That makes for more
subjects from the distaff side as well as including a
representative villian(ess) and a representative of the
horror/suspense genre.
Aren't you glad Gorgo isn't racking
up a lot of votes?
Take care,

With all the voting it's no wonder the most
recent quiz got lost in the shuffle.
Who did
each of the following characters assist?
1.
Tabu
2. Rosie Redd
3. Gunner Goslin
4. Candy
Orr
5. Nora O'Rourke

Dean,
You could have also had a low (or is
it no) response to this because some of these are
just plain hard. I can identify only two.
1.
Tabu hung out with Peter Cannon,
Thunderbolt.
3. Gunner was friends with Captain Adam and Captain
Atom.
Rosie Redd has to be a Ditko character's friend, but I
can't remember which one, but I'll guess that she knew
The Question. I should know the other two, but I
can't place either right now. Hopefully I've made it a
bit easier for someone else, or harder because I took
the easy ones.
Take care,
Jon

See now that wasn't that hard.
Tabu was
Peter Cannon's conscience and punching
bag.
Gunner Goslin was Captains Adam/Atom's best
friend.
Rosie Redd is not a Ditko character. Though I see why
you thought that. Hint: She replaced Bambi Baxter in
a 70's series.
Hint:Nora O'Rourke was a
later addition to a 60's series.
Hint:Candy Orr
was a 70's character and really part of a team more
than a sidekick.
Hopefully someone will come up
with these last three.
Kaji Dha!

That sounds great Loston. What say we set Friday
morning as the cut-off for the second ballot.
I
would very much like to see the work in progress. I
take your point about the front page image not giving
enough resolution. You can see it if you click on it but
that many characters would probably blend out in such
a small space.
The idea for the logos is
ideal. I personally have always loved the "Big Red C"
and of course the Bullseye would be appropriate.
This is sounding better and better.

it, but let me try to get out the gist of
it.
He indicated that the front page image was too small
to really do justice to such a complex image. He
recommended linking it.
He said that he planned to use
the Charlton corner logos in the compostition.
He also would like to know if the membership would
be interested in viewing the work in progress, and
if so he would post certain stages of the
work.
Lastly he wanted the voting to come to an end in a few
days. I agree and I have scheduled the voting to come
to an end Friday morning for the second
ballot.
Loston- If I have mangled your original message I
apologize and invite you to clarify my ramblings. I want to
apologize again for deleting the original message. Yahoo is
a very well-named organization in particular
instances.
Kaji Dha!

Thanks for checking back in Loston. There you
have it folks, get those votes in. Early indications
are that Winnie the Witch looks good for one slot,
but the other one is wide open. I am anxious myself
to see just what Loston can do with our favorite

Answers to the most recent Charlton Trivia Quiz
are as follows:
Tabu was Peter Cannon's
assistant and conscience.
Gunner Goslin was with
Captain Atom from before the beginning as both a trusted
friend and helper.
Rosie Redd was one of many
young women who helped Michael Mauser with his
secretarial needs.
Nora O'Rourke was a mid-series
addition to the adventures of Peacemaker.
Candy Orr
(love that name) was one of three intrepid souls (with
Eric Redd and Tulsa Coyle) who formed the Vengeance
Squad.
This proved either more difficult or far less
interesting than I anticipated. Unitl next time
Lotsa Luck
and Good Afternoon.

I put the Question of the Week on hiatus while
the voting was going on so as not to create too much
confusion but now that we have a decision let me introduce
this thought experiment to the
membership.
Currently DC is experimenting by having Stan Lee reimagine
many of their famous heroes. In other words what would
Superman have been like if he had gotten the Stan Lee
treatment. Since I am of the school of thought which holds
that neither Stan nor Jack Kirby could have done it
alone why don't we alter the program a
little.
Let's try that with the Charlton heroes. What would
Captain Atom be like if Stan and Jack got their hands on
the character? How would his circumstances be
different? What about Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, or
Thunderbolt? What would Stan have done with the Fightin' Five
or The Sentinels or Billy the Kid or the Tyro Team?
Nightshade?
Maybe this idea is too wacky to work but
what do you think? How would the Charlton universe be
different if Stan and Jack had worked that Marvel magic on
it?

We all know what Captain Atom looks like. Just
take a peek at the cover currently serving as the club
picture and you have a great image of Cap's first uniform
from his 60's heyday.
But did you know that
Captain Atom's costume was originally colored light blue
with purple and and light yellow trim? Not on any
covers, but in the origin story from "Space Adventures"
#33 March 1960 Cap has a completely different look.
After this initial story the colors reverted to the
gold and red and orange we are more familiar with. Now
that I'm thinking about it Captain Atom in his various
incarnations over the years and companies has maybe had as
many costumes as that most famous sartorial chameleon
Hank Pym.
What is the opinion out there on the
costume Cap got at the end of the L.A.W. mini-series? It
of course is the same as the character wore in
"Kingdom Come", but is it an improvement or a
mistake?

Words cannot describe how much I hate the
Captain's new look. To be honest, I didn't like the costume
he was given at the start of L.A.W. either. I
thought his previous look was perhaps his best ever.
Especially after he was given the power gauntlets and boots
in Extreme Justice.

I have to admit that I always liked "Extreme
Justice". Despite its obvious attempt to mimic the style of
Image comics, it was a well-paced and generally
well-drawn comic. Captain Atom looked very good there
too.
My favorite costume though for Cap was the second
one done for him by Ditko. The red, white,and blue
color combination worked well and that costume a
quality of practicality to it that always seemed logical
to me. He wore no mask, but generally I have always
thought masks to be ineffective and unconvincing
disquises. Cap always seemed to have a smile on his face in
those issues. You don't see a hero having fun like that
anymore.
My opinion of the L.A.W. costume was I much
preferred the first to the second. The Kingdom Come version
seems too busy in its design to be generally effective.
Although I do applaud the attempt to return to something
akin to the original color scheme, this costume is not
a success.

Dean,
Your question of the week is far too
abstract for me; I wouldn't touch it with a stick. I
cannot imagine the Charlton heroes as being other than
they were, and frankly I wouldn't want to. They were
an alternative to Marvel and DC and I don't want to
imagine them recast in the Marvel mold, bad enough that I
had to see the treatment they received at
DC.
Take care,
Jon

Hey folks, thanks for voting on your favorite
characters! It is an impressive list to be sure. If someone
you like didn't make the cut, I'll make you a deal:
email me a jpg of that character, and I might be
inclined to add them somewhere in the background! But I
won't guarantee it. The 13 voted Characters take
priority. I won't have a chance to start the club picture
this week, because I am currently swamped with work,
but next week I hope to be uploading some rough stuff
to show you! I can't wait!

Jon-
Sorry. Didn't mean to weird you out
on that question. What prompted it were two things.
One was the current DC series in which Stan Lee
reimagines the DC characters. The other was the stories
drawn by Dan Reed for the original "Charlton Bullseye"
in the early 80's. Reed used a distinctly Kirbyesque
style to render both Captain Atom and Blue Beetle. It
was not a successful attempt in my estimation, but
any port in a storm was my motto as the characters
weren't appearing anywhere at the time.
I agree
that the characters are very distinctive, but I can't
really agree that I wouldn't want to imagine them
another way. It seems all that will be revealed is
perhaps the little touches that made them so unusual and
interesting at the time.
Let me broaden the question a
bit and ask the membership which Marvel teams would
in your estimation be best suited to each of the
Charlton Action Heroes.
For instance, I think
Conway and Colan could do a interesting turn on
Peacemaker. Colan's realism would work well on that
character's world.
Jim Steranko might could do all
kinds of interesting things with Peter Cannon,
Thunderbolt.
John Romita and Stan Lee could give Nightshade a very
nice set of stories in my estimation.
There you
go. That's what I'm thinking of. I agree it is pretty
strange.
Kaji Dha!

Waltsland-
Your first three candidates were
counted and were put onto the second ballot. Your final
votes were for characters not already on the
established second ballot and so it was not possible for me
to work them in. It certainly wasn't because they
were obscure (we had Abbot and Costello on the ballot
for Gosh sakes!) but that it would have required
restarting the voting with a new second ballot slate. Loston
needed the information in order to get started on the
picture. Sorry if it seemed your votes didn't count.
Frankly I liked a number of the characters on your
list.
Kaji Dha!

While things get slow here from time to time, we
have had some very rich bursts of activity. A club
like this works because a steady handful of people
make a point of coming to the club and participating.
I want to thank those of the membership who
converse here regularly, and I would like to extend an
invitation to those who don't to take a moment and put up a
message about one of our favorite defunct comic
companies.
It has become a goal of mine to have something new
going on here every couple of days at least, but
sometimes the response is such that I leave questions or
trivia or such up to garner responses over time. I love
the characters of Charlton, but I don't want my
adoration to overwhelm the interests of the membership.
What recommendations might anyone have out there for
directions we could go? I welcome your advice.
To
kick off a new line of discussion I would like to
borrow (steal) an idea from another Charlton discussion
group and assemble a list of the top Charlton comics of
all time. I don't mean characters, but actual comic
books. What issues from Charlton are especially
deserving of mention and inclusion on a list of all-time
greats. When I followed this before the list was for
something like 100 comics, but that became unworkable as
people were nominating whole runs of their favorite
comics. I would like our list to be a little more
discerning and limit choices to indivual issues. Certainly
more than one issue of a comic could be nominated, but
let's not say nominate issues #1-12 of Ghostly Haunts
for instance (I'm not picking on Ghostly Haunts by
the way). To make things more manageable let's put
the number at 25. You don't need to nominate 25, just
comics you think deserve to be in that ranking. We will
simply count votes and look for books which get the most
nominations. Again it may be necessary to collect some of the
nominations into a second ballot if clear winners do not
emerge. So to formally announce the latest Charlton
Bullseye poll:
What are the 25 BEST comics that
Charlton ever produced?
We await your nominations.
I will let you know mine after I've thought a
little. There is no rush on this one. Ponder and let us
know.
Kaji Dha!

In my hurry to get to the 25 Best Comics Poll, I
neglected to mention the one person most responsible for
the Charlton Bullseye and that is Doc Quantum. He
created this club, and I would like to thank him for the
opportunity he gave me to become a founder. As I said at the
time, this is the club I would have created if it
weren't already here, and I don't want to overlook his
crucial and ongoing contributions to not only this club,
but the many clubs he has estabished out there in the
Yahoo wilderness. He recently put up several wonderful
images of Atlas-Seaboard covers over at the "Atlas
Seaboard Comics Society". They are beautiful and really
dress up the place. Thanks Doc.
One of Doc's new
clubs that could use some visitors is

I think Dean is probably pretty honest about counting the vote; I suspect he even counted your questions as votes, but you can always demand a recount.
Take care,

Thanks, Dean. I first started up this club
because I own a few Charlton Comics, and have always been
curious about the ones I've never seen, and thought this
would be a good way to learn a few things about this
company and its comics and characters. I must say that
I've learned more about Charlton through this club
than I ever knew about it beforehand! Thanks for being
a great co-Founder, Dean! You were BORN to do the
job, and very well, too...!

Waltsland-
No offense taken. I don't know
frankly if the vote can be tabulated again since several
of us have posted votes over and over again
sometimes for the same character. I'm sure it might be done
with a lot of deciphering of post headings, but it
sounds like a major migraine to attempt. After I
reviewed your original nomination post which came in just
before the closing of the second ballot voting I only
noticed a few characters which might have changed things.
I was tempted to back up and count Rog-2000 again
because he is a favorite of mine. I didn't simply because
it would likely have muddled the vote beyond
reason.
Loston has volunteered to accept possible
additions if the proposers will send him some graphic
reference. That may be one way to get Killjoy into the
picture. I fully expect Loston to find some way to fit
Impy into the picture someway.
Kaji
Dha!

I make no guarantees about the club picture, but
if a jpg image of a character can be sent my
direction, I will try to fit them in somewhere. I
volunteered to do this picture without any compensation other
than to share my joy of Charlton Comics of yesterday.
I felt that to do things right by the club, I had
to be fair and put in characters that everyone
wanted to see--a vote was in order. Also, because I felt
certain characters needed to be there to keep my
interest, I decided my favs, Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, and
Nightshade had to make the grade (it wasn't like they
weren't gonna make the final cut anyway! These characters
were without a doubt amongst the most popular of
Charlton's lot!). So, I decided that 10 other characters
deserved the vote. That seemed perfectly fair to me. I
also know the value of space. I can't possibly do 50
characters in one drawing--Not for free, anyway--I'm just
too busy freelancing artwork! Besides, it all has to
sorta work as a club picture (which is really small,
even when clicked for a larger view), so the fewer
characters, the better. With the vote, and the 'Given 3',
that made for 13 characters. I figure I can squeeze in
a few more though. Why? Because I don't want to see
someone's fave get left on the cutting room floor, that's
why. I just can't say that a character not in the vote
or 'given 3' will DEFINATELY make it onto the piece.
We'll see how things go. Will Impy make it? Yep he
will. Unfair because I'm doing the drawing and want
that character to be there? You bet! That's part of my
compensation to myself. I've also been considering adding the
Doomsday+1 guys in the back somewhere. Want Killjoy to be
added? Send a jpg my way, and I'll try to make it
happen--
Rog-2000 or whomever else you'd like. Just do
your part folks and do some of the work for me. Send
me a jpg. If a character being on the illustration
is worth that much effort to you, then I'll try hard
to make him/her a spot.
As it stands at the
moment, I am engaged in 2 commission pieces of art, a new
FASA project (They're the Battletech people), A
Cavewoman comic one-shot, and a Animated style book for DC
Comics. I'm quite busy, but will attempt to start the
illo next week. My current thoughts are to make the
following characters part of the focus of the piece ( Ie:
some of the larger drawn figures) :
Captain Atom,
Nightshade, Blue Beetle, The Question, and E-man
Your
votes guaranteed spots for the ten that got
votes--They'll be there somewhere. I reserve the right to decide
HOW they will appear on the illustration, but if you
have some input, I'll listen to it at least. I still
want to incorporate the Charlton Bullseye logo in the
drawing.
One final thing:
So that I and every other
Charlton Club member is aware of the Given 3, and the 10
voted characters, would you be so kind as to post the
complete list Sonofvulcan? It might clear up some final
confusion. I will print that list and get back to folks on
whether or not I have reference for all the characters. I
have most of the references, but I'm sure there's a
character or two I do not have images of. If you could do
that Dean, I'd be forever in your debt.
Thanks
everyone,
Loston

Thanks Loston for taking time to do this. We
really appreciate it. I am by no means a professional,
but I have done just enough artwork in my time to
have an inkling of what work it will be to get 13+
characters to work in one drawing. The list of characters
for the drawing:
1. Captain Atom
2. Blue
Beetle
3. Nightshade
4. Peacemaker
5. Peter Cannon,
Thunderbolt
6. Judomaster
7. The Question
8. Son of
Vulcan
9. Dr.M.T.Graves
10.E-Man
11.Willie
Schultz
12.Winnie the Witch
13.Jewelee (of Punch and
...)
There you go folks. Loston is being more than gracious,
and I am looking forward to seeing the final product.
Good luck on the work Loston.
Kaji Dha!

script by Gill about Japanese in China)
25.Space:1999
#6 (John Byrne's best Charlton work- a subtle tale
of survival in space)
I put a restriction on
my list (you don't have to of course) of only one
comic from a series, and even then I broke the
restriction twice. I have no willpower at all.
Sigh!
Two works not on this list are Mysterious Suspense #1
which while I am glad DC reprinted it (any chance to
see the Big Red "C" again) has always seemed a little
leaden to me. Also Charlton Premiere #2 which has the
notorious "Children of Doom" story is not there, because
despite the many reputed merits I find it just plain
confusing.
The one book that didn't make the list that I regret
the most is Popeye #129. That issue has a delightful
image of a giant Sea-Hag holding Popeye and Cast, and
it would be representative of the absolutely
first-rate and often overlooked work by George Wildman on
this comic. Zany stuff!
I look forward to
reading everyone's lists. Remember you don't have to
nominate 25. If you can only come up with 10 or 15 or 2
that's fine. I doubt we'll come to any conclusions, but
it will be interesting to see what people
pick.
Kaji Dha!

I would like to invite everyone here at the
Bullseye to join me at a new club about my favorite kind
of comic, the Superteam comic. It's called "Super
Team Headquarters". There are Avengers and JLA sites
galore but I wanted to create a place where fans of the
form to gather and talk not only about the new ones
but the vintage teams like the Doom Patrol and the
Champions. Every team is fuel for discussion,and I am hoping
to build a rich source of team book links. So if
this sounds interesting take a look
at:
http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/superteamheadquarters
I welcome any and all participation.

Dean, Funnily enough I've been thinking along
similar lines to this, wondering what other creators
might suit the Charlton characters. Sticking to Marvel
creators of the 60's and early 70's -
Blue Beetle-Stan
Lee and Gil Kane. It's easy to forget just how fun it
is to read some of Stan's dialogue (It may seem
corny and old fashioned to some but not to me). Gil
Kane did a great job on the Secret Origins Blue Beetle
story (my first exposure to the character) and for my
money no one drew more graceful action
comics.
Captain Atom-Stan Lee (again) and Jack Kirby and Joe
Sinnot. The team which to me invented cosmic
comics.
Nightshade-Stan Lee and Gene Colan. It was a split decision for
me as to whether Colan or Romita senior draw the
most beautiful women, gene won.
Son of Vulcan-Roy
Thomas and Jack Kirby. Thomas because he'd already
worked on the character (and I had to fit him in
somewhere) and Kirby again because...well, he's the
King!
Peacemaker-Jim Steranko.Great at action and outrageous super
technology.
Peter Cannon, Thunder Bolt-Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.I
had to include my favourite silver age writer/artist
team somewhere. Though I think Kirby was a better all
round artist the Lee/Ditko partnership on Spider Man
was flawless.
Well, thats all I can think of for
the time being. Now, if you want to know who I think
are the current creators who'd do a good job on the
charlton characters, that would be a different
story...
Regards,
Steve.

E-Man's inspiration was of course Jack Cole's
Golden Age creation Plastic Man. Did you know the two
characters did something of a crossover?
In E-Man #8
on the first page (if you look carefully ) you can
see Plas in the background. It's somewhat unclear,
but he may be transforming into a mailbox. Certainly
the famous Plastic Man colors are
present.
(Sigh!) One more comic for all the Plas completists to
look for!

When I compiled my list of top Charlton comics a
few days ago, I forgot to list all of the Don Newton
PHANTOM ISSUES!! Believe it or not, that's my favorite
Charlton stuff ever produced!! How could this happen, you
ask? Well, other than being absent minded, I tend to
think of Don's work as DC COMICS related. I don't
associate Don with Charlton, even though he did Phantom,
and Monster Hunters and a host of horror titles
there. My bad! Add in all of Don's Phantom's to my list
in the first slots folks! His stuff was the very,
very best. I miss his work.

I agree with you about Newton. He was one of a
handful of great creators taken in the prime of their
careers. I can immediately think of Jack Cole, Joe
Maneely, and Mark Gruenwald. Who else is there? I know
several young artists were lost in WWII and it is a pity
I don't know their names. Does anyone?

Dean,
Add Burt Christman, the first artist
to draw Sandman, to the list of artists who died
before their time. Christman either joined up or was
drafted and perished in W.W. II. He was a very good
artist whose work is largely unknown now. Had he lived
longer his name might be better known.
Take
care,
Jon

Did you know that Professor Cyrus Coffin and his
niece Arachne are both members of the National Rifle
Association (NRA)? Yes, it's true. In issue #18 of "Midnight
Tales" (the final issue I believe) the Professor and
Arachne get their NRA cards in the mail.
Well I
guess those are two votes Young Al Gore can forget
about in the fall.

Howdy!I joined after lurking for awhile to access
your cover gallery.Pretty neat.I have a weird
affection for all the second tier superheroes of the
sixties from companies like
Charlton,Archie,ACG,Tower,etc.I really enjoyed the latest issue of CBA but it
left me with more questions than I started
with.Anyway,I may pop in now and then to pick the brains of the
other members about the questions I may have.Thanks

Thanks doctorquantum! The actual final illo also
got zipatoned after I made the scan. Just the flags
and the "good" side of the jacket got the treatment.
I made the scan early to allow some of my friends a
chance to color the illo in photoshop without having the
hassle of "zip-dots".
I did try to make the
contrasting sides stand apart. I'm a big fan of Brian
Bolland, and I think he does the best Two-face around.
Someday I hope to become as good as he
is--someday.

I'm currently hard at work on a sizeable
Roleplaying game assignment fro FASA (the Battletech
company), but I've begun doing some thumbnails of poses I'm
thinking of incorporating in the drawing. I'll scan them
and upload them when I can catch a break--then I'll
post them here for you guys. They are only thumbnails,
but it should give you a vague idea of what the
picture might become.

Who are Swift, Specs, and Creep? Have fun with
this one.
The answer to the last Trivia
Question was the Red Knight. If you examine the name Lewis
Coll carefully you will see the similarity to Lewis
Carrol from which the inspiration for the Red Knight
clearly came.

The Top 25, wow, that's a tough one...let's
see...
I can only base the list on issues I have since I
can't judge other stuff (duh)...so here
goes:
#1-#3 are Ditko's Blue Beetle #'s 1-3 (I'd like to
include all 5 Ditko Blue Beetles, but that will take up
too many choices)
I'd like to list all the issues
of Capt. Atom too, but it's the same problem, "too
many choices. So I'll choose a few and give
reasons:
#4 Capt. Atom #82 (first Nightshade)
#5 Capt.
Atom #83 (Blue Beetle)
#6 Capt. Atom #84 (new look
and Blue Beetle)
#7 Charlton Premiere #1 ( Grass
Green, Skeates/Montes/Bache and Boyette each with a
story)
#8 Charlton Premiere #3 (Sinistro, Boy Fiend)
#9
Danger and Adventure #22 (final pre-DC Ibis
story)
#10 Doomsday+1 #1 (had to include an issue - enjoy
most of the others though)
#11 E-Man #1 (again had
to include an issue - likewise, enjoy the whole
run)
#12 Fantatic Giants Vol 2 #24 (ALL Ditko issue
including Konga and Gordo - need I say more)
#13 Flash
Gordon #12 (beautiful Crandall work)
#14 Jungle Jim
#22 (Ditko/Wood art)
#15 Konga's Revenge Special
Edition #2 (I love the story where Konga shrinks and has
to fight spiders, snakes, rats, etc.)
#16
Mysterious Suspense #1 ("Return of the Question")
#17 The
Partridge Family Summer Special #5 (full page radio show
star drawings by Don Sherwood and ads for David
Cassidy stuff like: "super luv stickers" and "chocker
'luv' beads")
#18 Out of this World #15 (no reason
really, I just enjoy this issue)
#19 Phantom #74 (neat
cover and nice "The Phantom of 1776" story = both by
Don Newton)
#20 Scary Tales #40 ("The Dragon
Force" - I'm not sure why, but I enjoy this
issue)
#21 Strange Suspense Stories #75 (reprint of the
first Capt. Atom story, but I don't have the original -
so this'll do)
#22 (Peter Cannon---)Thunderbolt
#1 (I had to include an issue of this great P.A.M.
series and I figured the origin issue with a nice 3 page
Bache back-up was a good choice. "The Sensational
Sentinels" back-ups later in the series were good too
though)
#23 (Peter Cannon---)Thunderbolt #60 (the Thunderbolt
story was good, but "The Prankster" back-up stole the
show on this issue - I wish it had been
continued...)
#24 Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal #39 (great cover and
a good example of "western action" inside)
#25
War and Attack #1 (EXCELLENT Wood battle field
artwork throughout - I love to end on a high
note)
Well, that's 25. It was a hard call, and I'm sure I'll
think of others I should have included later. For now
though, this should do it.

Okay, here are two of the first thumbnail
sketches for the club picture. They are of Capt. Atom and
the Blue Beetle (who is more realized). They are not
actual size or to scale with how they will appear on the
page. They also may not be the final poses. I didn't
have a chance to upload any more, as I'm very busy,
but take a gander at these and let me hear your
thoughts.

This is only thumbnails folks, so anatomy and costume
details and lighting will be fixed or added later--and as
I said above, subject to change.
Enjoy.

Dean,
Swift, Spec, and the Creep were
better known as Tyro Team. Creep actually had low-level
psi powers, the others had no special powers. As a
group they appeared exactly once and I believe the
artwork on the strip was by "PAM." It has been a LONG
time since I have seen Tyro Team but I thought they
had potential (as did 'The Shape' and 'Spookman' who
appeared in the same issue of 'Charlton Premier', someone
else will have to give the issue number.
Take
care,
Jon

Glad to see you are back Jon. Yahoo is not
letting me access your message, but just from what is on
the front page I can tell you have correctly
identified the Tyro Team. They appeared in Charlton Premiere
#1 along with Spookman and The Shape. Good
Going.

Thanks Dean. I just want to find the free-time to
do the illo! I've got 13 pages of Crusible artwork
to do for FASA (the Battletech company) before I can
truly get to the "nitty-gritty" of the illustration.
I'm going to try to give the characters a bit of the
Ditko feel whenever possible, but the work will still
be my own. I'm also thinking about coloring the
piece in photoshop as well, so the finished piece might
take some time. I'll keep putting things up, and you
guys can follow this project along side me. Though I'm
in the driver's seat, I'm happy to have you all as
passengers. I think it's gonna look pretty good when it's all
said in done.
Later,
Loston

Was Static the last character that Ditko worked
on for Charlton? I know he developed this character
in the last days of the company but was there
anything later than this? For the record, Static was one
of Ditko's most successful creations in my mind. He
was visually very interesting.

Dean, I believe Static was indeed the last Ditko
Charlton character and I agree with you about what a
fantastic design he is. But then again, I've seen very few
Ditko designs that didn't floor me. The man was a
genius. He was definately a bizarre character himself,
but he was one of the greats.

Dean, your profile states that you are 43 yrs old
(13 yrs older than me) and that your interests are
comic books. Okay, that one was a given--but what are
some of your other interests, dude? Your favorite
quote is a line from Predator, but I really don't know
much about you other than the fact that you are quite
knowledgeable about comics in general and you seem to be a
genuinely nice guy. I know you have a couple of cool clubs
on yahoo--fill me in man!

Very little to tell. I'm a teacher in High
School.
I spend an ungodly amount of time fooling with
comics and science-fiction movies. With an understanding
wife (also a teacher and a much better one in fact)
who sees the book collection as an unfortunate
step-child that lives in the basement and keeps hoping I
will mature. She hopes in vain I fear. My daughters
are two fine young women, one in college and the
other beginning high school. I am a very proud poppa
right now as just yesterday we got the news out oldest
may well have set a state record for the high school
competency exam. Nothing confirmed but she certainly did so
for the local district and maybe the first student to
do so well on a state level.
My youngest is a
self-professed "band geek" with some substantial gifts in that
area and is a full-blown teenager (pity my poor soul).
I'm one lucky guy.
As for the Jesse Ventura
line from Predator, it just happen to come to mind
when I was filling out the thing. Predator is one fine
movie though.
I can never remember how to spell
"Klaatu Barada Nicto" (see).
I've toyed around
with art and cartooning just enough to have some idea
how difficult it can be. It gives me a greater
appreciation I think for the stuff I see and read. I long ago
knew I might have the chops, but not the drive to make
it as a professional artist. As is obvious comics
are a nostalgia trip for me of the highest order and
I love reading them and reading about the arcane
history of their making.
Thanks for asking
Loston.
Kaji Dha!

Correspondance courses? They are very expensive (as is
everything Kubert related--STILL in debt on student loans!),
but I've heard good feedback about the courses in
terms of their quality. I'm 30 years old, but I
inherited my uncle's comic collection when I was only 6.
Neal Adams Batmans, Wrightson Swamp Things, Kirby
FF's, and of course, Charlton Comics titles. Most of
which were things like Scary Tales, Ghostly Haunts, The
Haunt of Fear, Ghost Manor, etc.. Way back in '74, my
father gave me my first comic book. It was a Mike Grell
Batman. I was only four, but I could already read pretty
well. I used to take that comic book and trace Batman
panels by holding the comic to the window, and slapping
a piece of tablet paper over a page. The sunlight
would produce a lightbox of sorts. Then I'd start
tracing the figures! That's how I started learning to
draw! I've been drawing ever since, and I still have
that very comic in my collection! Believe it or not,
it's still in VG condition! I pull it out from time to
time when I'm feeling low, or artisticly frustrated. I
can still see the grooves around certain panels where
I'd traced the pages so long ago. Sigh---Even then I
wanted to be a comic book artist. I still want to be. I
am working for DC Comics License Department and
drawing Batman and Superman animated stuff, but someday,
I want to draw Batman comics. Not for myself so
much, but for that little kid who used to sleep with
his comics under his pillow.

I discovered comics in the sixth grade. I had
always had a few here and there, but they were not
ubiquitous. I found that girls were attracted to the books in
the sixth grade and my meager art skills gave me an
in. We created a little club in which we each became
a hero (sounds familiar doesn't it) and the girls
needed artwork because you had to produce a poster shot
of your inspiration. I remember to this day tracing
Wonder Woman, Black Canary, and Nightshade images. For
myself I swiped the cover to Captain Marvel #1 (Marvel's
version) and Judomaster. Of the group that was into comics
then I am the only one left who pursues it.
I
found Charlton again with E-Man #6 and the passion for
the Derby Connecticut company has never waned. I even
have a pretty good set of Flinstone books from the
mid-70's. I actually had very few of the Action Heroes line
at the time. I was just a bit too young when they
first emerged and the ones I had my maternal
grandmother scouted up for me somewhere. I spent the better
part of the 80's putting together a solid collection
of Captain Atoms and Blue Beetles and such. I was
lucky really as the big investor boom hit right as I
was finishing that up. That is also true for some
Silver Age Marvel stuff I filled in. I couldn't begin to
imagine building my collection with today's prices. The
sad part is that most of what I have is positive
trash now. If I could get cover price for most of it I
would be surprised. Anyone looking for a complete set
of U.S.1 or The Human Fly? See what I
mean.
What is amazing is the early stuff almost burns itself
into your eyes. The imagery is as potent today as it
was then. I have powerful memories of Marvel
Superheroes #18 (the one that introduced the Guardians of the
Galaxy and currently on display in the Photo Album
labeled "Super Team Premieres") from when I carried it
back and forth to my grandfather's house while my
folks were out of town for a week or two. One horrible
thing I used to do was when I grew bored with the cover
of a particular comic I ripped it off so that I
could enjoy the splash page for a time. Can you imagine
doing that to a comic. Aarrghh! Ahh!
Youth!

I just got ahold of some issues of this book
(issues 1 and 51 to 55,dig that crazy numbering eh?) and
would just like to thank the club members who
recommended it some to me some time ago.Sure the stories
sometimes seem corny, but I've got a fondness for the whole
scenario of a westerner raised by a mysterious oriental
society and granted amazing powers (as seen in Iron Fist,
some versions of the Shadow's origin etc). The art by
Pete Morisi was also very impressive, its a crime he's
not more widely appreciated
imho.
Regards,
Steve.

Glad you found the Tunderbolt to your liking
Steve. Pete Morisi is one of those artists who despite
the famous swipes has developed an atmosphere in his
work that no one else I know of can recreate. I kept
looking at the DC version of Thunderbolt when it came out
and I wanted to like it but I just couldn't get my
mind around it. The character seemed too
different.
The reserve of Peter Cannon and his sometimes
reluctance to get involved seems very real to me. It takes a
great leap for the average fellow to just go out and
right wrongs for people he doesn't know. To do it
regularly just as an altruistic act is truly unusual.
Peter's unwillingness to just jump right on in always
struck me as rather level-headed. Of course he always
did do the good thing, but unlike so many heroes it
wasn't just some unthinking reflex.

As a matter of fact, I can imagine that Dean--I
did the same to a number of comics. When I was 4 or
5, and wasn't tracing the pages, I used to cut out
images of the heroes and play with them like action
figures. That was back before there was such a thing as
Star Wars figures! I was a bizarre kid I guess. I
wonder how many Superman's , Batman's and other comics I
chopped to bits? Often, I bought Charlton comics in an
illegal 3 pack which cost 35 cents per pack. Stores would
slice of the covers of unsold comics and send them
back, but would hold on to the interiors of the book
and stuff them into cellophane bags and try reselling
them, which I found out years later was completely
illegal. But I could get 3 comics for a quarter and later
for only 35 cents! I bought tons of those! But many
of my older Charlton's had no front covers! Later
on, those same stores started selling uncut comics in
a 3 pack in a similar way, so I started finally
getting my hands on complete Charlton books. I usually
got all my comics at a grocery store rack (those were
the days!), and there wasn't such a thing as a comic
book store back then, in my area anyway.
At any
rate, I had comic covers and other pin- ups hanging in
my room for years!

Loston and I have been having a conversation
about lots of things but in the course of it we have
shared how we came by our Charlton addictions. It has
gotten me curious. How did most people here come by the
Charlton comics we all adore. Given that the company had
notoriously
bad distribution it might make for some interesting
storytelling. So let me put it to the membership:
How
did you first come across a Charlton comic? How did
you get your Charltons primarily?

I think Thunderbolt's reluctance to get involved
in his adventures was quite well handled also, Dean.
I like Tabu's role as Peter's 'conscience' but I
hope that, if the series had gone on longer that the
'reluctant hero' bit might have been done away with.
As
for Morisi's art, when you refer to his swiping I
assume you're talking about his similarity to George
Tuska's work? I read about this in Morisi's interview in
Comic Book Artist but I don't believe I know Tuska's
art. Are there any online sites featuring the man's
work that you know of?
Regards,
Steve.

I believe my first exposure to Charlton occured
when I was about six or seven years old (this was in
the mid to late 70's). Where I grew up, in the North
of England we had a Saturday Market, one of the
pitches was an old blue caravan that sold old comics from
many different US companies, all at cover price! I
seem to remember being drawn to the Ditko horror
comics, many of them were Charlton's I recall. Of course,
as any comics fan will sympathise,my mother failed
to predict the emergence of the collector's market
for old comics and threw them all away! But I'm not
bitter...
Regards,
Steve.
P.S. Dean, as an afficianado of Atlas/Seabord
comics,did they produce a book entitled 'Tarantula' or
something like that? I definately remember owning it at one
point.

Okay, I'm sorta left out, as I've already
mentioned how I came to know Charlton Comics. I'll share
this though--My absolute favorite Charlton Comics of
the '70s was Doomsday +1! I loved that concept! I'm a
big fan of those post-nuclear war yarns, I guess! And
John Byrne, though very green as an artist at that
time, did some very nice stuff. It rose above the
normal standards of Charlton. I believe Joe Gill wrote
that stuff. It somehow seemed more mature than most of
Charlton's comics. All those romance angles, mixed in with
sci-fi/high adventure. Those were the days.

Ironically I just finished looking at some George
Tuska artwork on WHAT IF #5 featuring a tale of Captain
America and what would have happened if both he and Bucky
had been active past WWII. I can't immediately think
where you might find any interior artwork but I know
many early Iron Man covers feature his work. You might
try Cheeks The Toy Wonder's site and see if he has
anything up on Iron Man and you might run across
something.
The closeness of Tuska and Morisi is
marked. I assumed as did apparently many folks that PAM
was a psuedonym for Tuska's non-Marvel work. George
Tuska is in my mind the definitive Iron Man artist. His
ability to communicate the idea of a man in a suit of
metal is unmatched in my eyes. His early work I am less
familiar with.
By the way I agree that the
reluctant hero bit would had to have been ejected as it was
already wearing a bit thin. The formula was somewhat
abandoned when Boyette did some issues of the series
towards the end. I believe the writer for those issues
was Denny O'Neil.
Good Luck!

For sure there was an Atlas-Seaboard series
called "The Tarantula". It ran in a comic entitled
"Weird Suspense" and lasted three issues. There is some
remarkable Pat Boyette artwork in those issues and it was
one of the stronger Atlas comics in my estimation.
For more detail check out the Atlas Seaboard Comics
Society where I have a post on Weird Suspense detailing
the credits and giving a more thorough description.

Punkybluester,
You are quite thoughtful to
add those up for the club, and for me! I have all the
Who's Who comics, but they are boxed away in my closet.
Since the move, I've had no time to search through my
vast collection of comics. This makes my life a little
easier. I'm probably going with the original Captain Atom
costume though. Man, I love that Blue Beetle entry!! What
a fantastic drawing! Thanks again!

Thanks Eric and Loston for the new Photos. I
highly recommend the folks take a gander at these if
they haven't seen them (and even if they
have).
Those Charlton entries were the main reason I even
bought the DC Whos Who issues. They are great takes on
the classic Action heroes.
Loston I am unable
to help on the art references save maybe for
Dr.Graves. I know where some covers are and I will try to
link them in over here into a Photo Album. I have just
what you need but unfortunately I still lack the
scanning ability even Korg and his buddies back in the
cave probably have by now. I think there were Jewelee
and Punch illos in the Whos Who editons.
Good
Work! The Club picture seems to be growing! Sounds
great!

I have some time tomorrow and I'll check to see
what I can dig up. I only have access to B&W copiers
put with a few color references that might be enough.
You need reference on Winnie the Witch, Baroness Von
Bludd, Impy, Jewelee, Arachne and Dr.Graves. Is that
all?

Dean,
For some reason, Charlton always had
good distribution in Wyoming. You could go to the
smallest town and find Charltons in with the sparse
selection. Of course, when Charlton wasn't very interesting
in the 50s and looked crudely printed, they didn't
seem like much of a treat.
Take care,
Jon

Steve,
George Tuska is best remembered as
a crime comics artist, although he did his share of
westerns and romance comics as well. He did quite a few
issues of Iron Man and he filled in on many a Marvel
book, apparently being someone who could produce a fill
in issue on short notice. Unfortunately, his best
work was done in the late 40s and early 50s and most
of his Marvel work looked rushed and/or inked by
less than ideal inkers. I sincerely doubt that anyone
would have a website devoted to him, as he didn't have
that much of a following from the 60s on. His early
work was good, but he turned into something of a
hack.
My two cents,
Jon

Jon-
I too must have lived in one of the
rare pockets where Charlton actually delivered product
to. I was always able to find most all of it at my
local newstand or drugstore stand. One thing that
promoted my Charlton collecting was in the mid-70's when I
latched onto the new E-Man comic and some of the newer
Ghost books was a particular little antique store/flea
market place out in the middle of nowhere which seemed
to have a limitless supply of Charlton comics. I
made many visits there in the summer before I went to
college and found just piles of great stuff. Lord only
knows what in my ignorance I left behind.

George Tuska a hack? You are going to make me
cry. I would never consider the wonderful Tuska a
hack. Sure he was able to get the product done on
deadline, but it was always good storytelling and seemed
well done to me. I admit that he did suffer more than
most from some very indifferent inking on occasion.
His early Iron Man work was inked by Johnny Craig.
Now there was a team! I always found Tuska's work
very dynamic and clear.
I really had no idea how
long George Tuska had been in the business until I saw
that he was in the same shop as Jack Kirby and other
40's guys in Will Eisner's "The Dreamer".
Pete
Morisi's take on Tuska was really a refining of Tuska's
basic shapes and faces with a very Caniff flavor to the
weight of the lines. I always was struck by the fact
that PAM didn't often make use of the motion lines to
indicate the direction of punches and such. It gave his
work a rather refined quality that I think makes it
seem rather sterile sometimes, but very
attractive.

I agree, Tuska had a unique style, but he was definatly never a hack. I can't remember the first time I saw his art, but I always recognized it when I saw it.

I'm going off topic today to ask a question. How
many of the membership are familiar with the Hanther
(the name of the writer-artist) independent comic
TANDRA? It has been in some form of production or other
since the early 70's and now seems limited to only
internet activity. I am not some overwhelming fan of the
comic, but I have recently come close to finishing my
collection of TANDRA albums (the comics were collected
through the late 70's and 80's in magazine size "graphic
albums".)and I am rereading the series through. During the
comic boom of the early and mid-90's TANDRA was a
regular-sized comic with a run of about a dozen issues. The
creator is located in Mississippi and he is by all
protestations a wildly independent fellow. The story has by
most indicators developed at a snail's pace though
generations of characters have become involved. The most
accurate desription I can think of is John Carter of Mars
meets Prince Valiant. The comic is filled with buxom
(and to his credit really) sometimes not-so buxom
ladies and various men in sometimes extreme states of
undress. That is I'm sure a major selling point for the
book, though more recent issues have focused on the
politics and philosophy of the characters and by indirect
analysis the creator.
Hanther has always put me
into the mind of Steve Ditko. He has ferocious
political views and seems to put his money where his mouth
is. Despite the opinion of the ideas, that is always
an admirable act. I'm curious what others who may
have chanced upon TANDRA may have to say. There is no
Yahoo group for this comic and frankly I would have
little interest in one, but for this moment what's the
word?
Kaji Dha!
Dean
P.S. The Internet URL for the
TANDRA site is:

After Charlton quit publishing its version of
Bullseye {As opposed to the fanzine version}They seem to
publish some new material in Scary Tales.The book was
half reprint and half new with a reproduction of the
cover to an unused Bullseye in one issue.I have a few
of these issues but not all of them.Anyone know
anything about this?Also on some of the covers in the
photo section show that little US map that was I
believe the mark of the Distributor.You see the same
symbol on DC comics of the same era.Anybody
knowledgeable about this topic?Man,if this isn"t esoteric
fanboy stuff I don't know what is.thanks

On your question about unused Bullseye material,
I don't know for certain but my assumption has
always been that yes those were stories originally
planned for Bullseye that saw print in Scary Tales. The
quality seemed to be about the same.
On your
second question I have no idea. This seems like a good
for one for Jon. That's the kind of thing he seems to
know about and the comics in question come from his
prime era I think.

I've been dying to find a way to work that phrase

Oh no, I know the symbol you mean, a little icon
of the U.S. and Canada with the letters "ID" or
"IN." I know that almost all of the books of the
mid-fifties through the early sixties carried it, except Dell
and, later, Gold Key. I know it is a distributor's
symbol but other than that I'm only able to speculate.
As you mentioned, it's pretty esoteric. For some
reason, I always thought it stood for something like
"Independent Distribution" although I have no idea how I came
to that conclusion.
Just as baffled as
you,
Jon

Perhaps I should have explained my puzzlement a
bit better.Sometimes my thoughts get ahead of
themselves when I post online.I think the North America icon
is a distributors mark,but I was under the
impression that Charlton was self distributed.Seeing that
mark was mystifying to me.Most of the info I have on
this subject was derived from the Charlton issue of
Comic Book Artists( a great issue but raised more
questions )I hope the follow up issue will answer a few .I
realize question about distributors is pretty mundane to
even the most avid fanboy but it is interesting to me
in that it gives some clues into the motivation and
thinking of the comic book biz. thanks walter wego

I emailed my address to you a second time. Hopefully you'll get it this time. I haven't a clue what happened to the message I previously sent.

Don't apologize. I love this kind of miniscule
detail. I find the answers to these little questions
unlocks whole areas of detail and reflection I hadn't
before explored. This question certainly has for
me.

This question has gotten buried so let me dust if
off and offer it again.
Which Charlton
characters are primarily accociated with each of the
following military leader? (Each is connected to a
different character.)
1. General Hawkins
2.
General Dove
3. General Eining
#3. General
Eining has been correctly identified as the commanding
officer of Captain Adam /Captain Atom.
I still do
not have answers for # 1. and #
2.
Hints:
General Hawkins would be an extremely old man if he was
real.
General Dove showed up in two different
strips but only one comic.
Good Luck
Charltonians!
Kaji Dha!

General Hawkins was
from the JUDOMASTER comic, which took place in the
Pacific Theatre of War, in World War II. I just checked
one of my Judomaster comics after Dean so generously
gave the hint he did...

As of the last week, I have been extremely busy.
I've been working on a new roleplaying game for FASA
called Crucible. It is a dark fantasy game that has kept
me more than busy, so I haven't done much on the
drawing this week. As soon as my work load lightens, I
plan to take advantage--producing more stuff. As it
stands now, I have more thumbnails to upload though.
Like the Capt. Atom and Beetle sketches, they are
pretty rough. If I get more free time soon, I'll at
least upload them. Remember folks, I draw for a
living--paid stuff takes priority. I can't wait to start on
the main finished piece though!

Okay club members. I'm making this the last call

you added a few of your favorites in envelope you're
sending me Dean!) I'm giving you guys until this Sunday
at 12:00 midnight to send me any emails containing
reference--after that, the club picture is set pretty much in
stone! No late additions will be added! If you'd like a
chance to include someone--NOW'S THE TIME! tick, tock,
tick , tock, tick, tock, tick---
Don't say I didn't

There is a character in the package not on your
list. Rog-2000 is one of my very favorite Charlton
creations and I sent you a illustration of the lovable
robot. I also sent some material on Colonel White-Shroud
the host of "Monster Hunters". I seem to remember you
speaking highly of him here before.

Thanks Dean! Yeah I loved "Monster Hunters"!
First exposure to Don Newton was in that

remember the character, none the less--He will be added
gladly! Hurry people, time is running out!

Here is the answer for General Dove. He made
appearances in both the E-Man and Rog-2000 strips.
He
first showed up in E-Man and was beautifully rendered
with a Popeye-like jaw and mirror sunglasses by Joe
Staton. He appeared again in E-Man and also made a visit
to Rog-2000 where John Byrne had a chance to draw
the General. He was a sterotypical figure in his look
but not his characterization. He was presented with
some sense of balance and calm.

Dean,
I received your reference photocopies
today--THANKS MAN! I've been away at a convention today, and
spent much of my day talking "shop" with Charles Vess
and Mark Schultz! Two of my art favorites--artisticly
and personally, and managed to purchase a Schultz
original cover pencil original! It isn't Charlton stuff,
but I'm providing a link so that my online friends
here can take a look at it! Dean, as a Jonny Quest
fan, you might find this particularly interesting!
Enjoy--I know I
am!

According to Mark, he has plans to do more
Xenozoic Tales issues, but for now he's busy writing--He
is illustrating a hardback collection of Robert E.
Howard's Conan stories however--and he showed me some of
his work on that--which was, of course, fantastic! He
has altered Conan appearance wise though, which I'm
not so sure I like. Schultz is trying to do something
other than the 'Boris-style Conan' -- instead, opting
for a more realistic, Russel Crowe type of
character.
In my view, despite digging the artwork he showed
me, I felt it wasn't SAVAGE enough to be Howard's
Conan. REH discribed the Cimmerian as having thick
muscle throughout his chest, back, arms and legs--with a
trim, lean waist line, towering over six and a half
feet tall. Schultz's version just seemed a little
tame. Even Conan's hair length had been shortened
dramaticly. I'm a huge Mark Schultz fan. I'm a huge Conan
fan. I look forward to the hardback anyway, as several
illos were more in line with Howard's way of thinking
than others. All of the illustrations were absolutely
amazing! I just don't know if there quite the Conan I
would have hoped for.
Loston
PS: Regarding
the illo : It was my pleasure!

I was in the Chapel-Hill/NC State region this
weekend visiting my girlfriend and I noticed that I
passed right through Cary. I don't remember how close it
was to UNC-CH, but there's an awesome comic shop down
off of Franklin St. there, in this weird little
shopping complex. If you follow the signs to Back Door CDs
(also worth a look if you're a music fan), it's right
beside of that, all the way around the building and down
two flights of stairs. I got the CBA issue there,
finally(!), and the 6th issue of the Huntress mini-series
with the Question in it. They've got a pretty nice
selection of back issues there too.

I know the shop you're talking about, I 've been

area. Chapel Hill is a cool college town, and I've

Fellow Charltonians-
Just want to take the
opportunity to state that this club is alive and well. The
coming artwork and the recent publications centering on
Charlton have generated lots of conversation. I would love
to see a broader spectrum of folks participate here.
We have a decently sized membership and I'm positive
that many of us have things to share about Charlton
and our experiences with the comics. I know a number
of people have not yet responded to the question
about First Charltons. What was your first experience
with the company. I would really like to hear. So
speak out. Let's hear from you.
Thanks to all
of you who are making this a place I feel the need
to check at least once a day.
Kaji

Hmm? First Charlton that would be hard to say.The
first ones that I can consiously remember would
probably be the Dan Garett Blue Beetle .Or maybe Capt.
Atom in the original( and best) gold and yellow
costume. As to Mercury Man,you really are dusting out the
cobwebs in my mind.My recollection of this character is
really really vague.I think he was an astronaut circa
the Mercury space program era that gained
superpowers.I'll eagerly awaiting more info on this character.I do
remember more vividly seeing this comic being sold
stripped of its cover( most likely illegally) and being
sold at the "notions" store across the street from
where I lived.Walter

Dean,
What the first Charlton I ever saw
was is a difficult question to answer; it was most
likely either one of the western titles that Charlton
acquired from Magazine Enterprises, a horror comic, or a
war comic. Whatever it was, it certainly didn't stick
out in my memory; Charltons were more-or-less
ubiquitous when I was growing up and they were probably the
standard for being "just another comic book," since they
covered every genre they could and had few features to
distinguish themselves from the pack.
The first
Charlton character I can recall clearly is 'Mr. Muscles'
who was essentially god-awful, just bad enough to be
unforgetable. The first Charlton character I can remember
looking forward to was 'Gunmaster', who was mid-way
between being a western character and a masked mystery
man. That's probably not what you wanted to hear, but
it happens to be the truth.
Take care,
Jon

...It's conceivable that some of th' Wildman-era
animated titles ( Flintstones/spin-offs , Underdog ,
etcetera . ) might've been mine , circa
'71 or so...I
first bought comics in '66 , but , I might've never
bought an Action-era title AT ALL !!!!! ( My cousins ,
funnily enuuff , had , among their EXTREMELY FEW comics
one of th' " Hot-Rod " ones...a splash page showed
Clint Curtis? ,
and his buddy , staring at th'
giant face of the prominent local citizen , who was
denouncing ALL hot-rodders as reckless kids , saying " no ,
that's not true "...Symbolism , man !!!!! )
Charltons were pretty well-distributed in upper Westchester
County , New York , then , as I recall
...By contrast
, Gold Keys weren't distributed
to newsstands
there ( this being the 70s ) AT ALL !!!!! I want to say
our proximity to Conneticut might've helped , but
perhaps that's
silly...But , perhaps not .

No, this is just the kind of thing that
interested me on this question. The beauty of the Charlton
line is the very thing you mention Jon, and that is
the broad variety of titles available from them. In
the 70's they filled niches which otherwise would
have gone empty such as Romance and War. Certainly no
one did westerns with such aplomb in those decades
that I can remember.
Gunmaster is a favorite
of mine too. I love the combination of masked man
and typical western action. The series (I have four
or five issues of the series and a few Six-Gun
Heroes too I think) was graced by some above average
artwork and the stories were typical but
interesting.
My favorite western star from Charlton was The Man
Called Loco. This brief series by PAM hit me at a
crucial early reading period and made a huge impression.
I still think the cover of that first issue of that
series in Texas Rangers was the best Charlton produced
(that I have seen). It is a wonderful and dramatic
extreme closeup of the hero's face. The PAM artwork
inside was typically fine and the character was nicely
melancholy.

Nice to see you back Waltsland. You are the guy
who probably knows this- What became of the great
Paul Fung? I think I have his name right. He was a
central artist for those 70's animation-inspired and
licensed productions by Charlton. I seem to remember the
name being closely linked to Hong Kong Phooey and a
few others. I was digging around in some of that a
few weeks ago and I chanced upon my old issues of
Scooby Doo and I must say the artwork in those was
really not all that good. I was surprised as I remember
it being much better.
On a side note I am
constantly tempted to add the ongoing DC series Scooby Doo
to my reading list just for the truly excellent
artwork by Joe Staton and Dave Hunt among others. I pick
up and scan each monthly issue but I can't make room
on my schedule for a new book right now. Anyone
getting it out there?
Kaji Dha!

Congratulations Loston! It always such a thrill
when you finally get that comic you have been
searching for. A scary comic at that!
I remember
when I found a treasure once at some little convention
I let out an audible gasp, and I could hear the
vendor mentally raising the price even as I tried to
suck it back in. I was too late and I paid the price
(literally).

...'Fraid I don't , though I sorta 'member the

might've stuck in my mind...Frankly , I sort of recall
those early-70s Wild/Char. animated titles as not being

overly " loose " art , & overly brief/vingetteish

Walter-
I don't know the arrangements
Hanna-Barbara had with Charlton but they were sure producing a
lot of H-B material at the time. The Flinsones were a
veritable empire at the time and I'm guessing the thought
was that more was better. I tend to agree that some
of the stuff was not very good, and that is why the
Paul Fung material stands out in my memory. He could
well have been primarily an employee of H-B, but I
really know. Thanks for taking a shot at it.

No! It is safe to read this message; you will
learn nothing which will make your young ears bleed.
The "My Secret Life" referred to is the Charlton
comic and issue #1 has been recently featured at Scott
Shaw's very entertaining Oddball comics. This a great
example of Dick Giordano's early Charlton work. Check it

Mercury Man appered in Space Adventures #44 and
#45. He was an odd one. He was light blue in tone with
wings on his head (I guess if wings on your ankles can
make you fly then wings for ears can do the same
thing.) and he was apparently metallic thought he didn't
look it. There were some Stranger in a Strange Land
possiblities here but in the only issue I have little of
consequence is done with him. He is noteworthy only because
he appears roughly at the same time (era) as Captain
Atom but this character got no foothold at
all.

A great Steve Ditko cover for the comic "Out Of
This World" has recently been a feature of Oddball
Comics. It is perhaps not so flattering that so many of
the Charlton comics seem to find there way onto this
site. But it is a chance to see some great examples of
hard to find artwork.

I lucked out yesterday my fellow Charltonians. My
regular comics dealer bought a great collection a few
weeks ago and I am finding some real jewels in these
very affordable back issues.
Four issues of
"The Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves", six issues of
"Ghost Manor", six issues of "Ghostly Tales" , and one
issue each of "Ghostly Haunts" and "Haunted". With the
exception of one issue of which I already had a coverless
copy of the material is all early 70's and best of all
brand new to me. I paid a dollar a piece for each of
these gems. There are others costing a bit more waiting
and it is likely only a matter of time before I add a
few more great Charltons to my collection. Thanks for
listening!
I had to tell someone!
Kaji Dha!

Hi guys,
With my work keeping me busy, I've
had scarce amount of time to dedicate to the club
picture, but when things slow down, it's my next priority.
Meanwhile, I will give you a few sneak peeks at some of the
stuff I've been doing lately. Just a few links to a few
'roughs'. This stuff isn't finished art, just
preliminaries. I know many of you aren't artists and therefore
you might enjoy seeing a few drawings in the early
stages of developement. This stuff was for Crucible, a
Dark Fantasy role-playing game being done by FASA. I
did 13 illustrations for that game, and here are but
3 of the roughs. I hope you
enjoy!

A conversation at another club prompted me to ask
this question?
What is your favorite cover
design element on Charlton comics?
The Big Red
"C", the Charlton Bullseye, or perhaps the earlier box
with the diagonal white stripe. Or perhaps you prefer
an even earlier design.
My vote goes for The
Big Red "C"!
I found it distinctive and if
fairly pops out of the back issue bin as effectively as
it popped out at you on the old spinner racks. It is
elegant and simple and bright and effective.
So
what is your opinion?
Kaji Dha!

Dean,
I'm not sure it is an actual
preference, but I associate the big, red "C" with Charlton.
If anyone were to say "Charlton" to me (which
doesn't happen much in "real" life), I would
automatically think, "Big, red C."
My two cents,
Jon

I actually like the bullseye best. It's what I
knew first and to me, it's just more interesting
visually. I don't dislike the big "C" at all, that was also
quite cool. I have a number of Captain Atoms, Haunteds,
and a ton of others with that emblem embossing the
cover. The only negative thing I can say about the
bullseye is perhaps it was too similar to DC Comics'
emblem. I plan on sneaking both the bullseye and the big
"C" into the club picture. To me, they symbolize
Charlton Comics at it's best.
Speaking of club
picture, today I did a few sketches (in between inking
sessions of a current project). Most of these doodles was
of one particular character. Let's see if you guys
can guess who it is with this fairly easy
hint:
"Stop, before you enter this room, infidels.....lest you
soil this unbelievably beautiful oriental rug, the
creation or a Persian rugmaker in Tabriz whence came the
finest rugs ever made by man!"
Do you guys know
which character I've been drawing? Betcha Dean knows!

I'm going to guess the grossly underpaid "A.
Machine". Machine was one of Charlton's most reliable
craftsmen and he ate so little that they were able to break
even on the huge salary they paid him. I always
figured Machine was Joe Gill and that lettering was
something Joe did in all that leisure time he clearly had.
Lord knows the guy never worked that hard.
If
it's not "A.Machine" then I really have no
idea.
Kaji Dha!

Hey everyone---Anyone else here read the Charlton
horror-type books? If so, what would you say was the best
title? I personally enjoyed them all! Ghostly Haunts,
Haunted, Scary Tales, Ghostly Manor, Monster Hunters,
Ghostly Tales, Midnight Tales, & Haunted Library were a
constant source of enjoyment for me! I loved all the hosts
of each book (an element that helped give each title
it's own identity). All those cool Gil/Ditko

Singin' my song there Loston. I do so love the
Charlton ghost books. I know all about those EC comics
from the 50's and I have read 'em all, but I do
believe that Charlton carved out a little bit perfection
back in the early 70's with their line of ghost books.
There is a sense of play in those books not readily
found in the more profound EC's. Add the fact that you
have talents like Ditko, Sutton, Staton, Boyette, PAM,
Howard, Zeck, Larson, and Newton cranking the stuff out
and it is easy to see why those books hold up so
well. The hosts are very individual and have a charm
all their own. I want to know more about each and
every one of them. Doc Graves got into the action once
in while, but the others rarely did. Of course Joe
Gill was the writer for about three-quarters of the
stuff and guys like Steve Skeates and Denny O'Neil
pitched in. Charlton dominated this side of the market
for a short time and they did it with they typical
short burst of quality and fun.
Kaji Dha and a
Half!

No takers on this one so far. Let me trim the
question back a little. The members of the original
Fightin' 5 are Tom-Tom, Granite, Frenchy , Irv and Who?
Who was the leader of this team of
warriors?
Good Luck and Kaji Dha!

I believe that's correct, Who was the leader of the Fighting 5, at least when he wasn't on first.
No idea actually,

Abbooot!!!!
Well if "Who" was the leader
of the Fightin 5 then "What If" (an excellent comic)
is on second with "Whozit" (Dialing H) is on third.
"It" (the Living Colossus kind)will be coming to bat
with
"Him"(Beehive)on deck. "Her" (a paragon of virtue) is calling the
balls and strikes.

Comic Book Artist which did the wonderful
Charlton issue this summer is going to feature a second
issue this January on the company and it 70's surge. It
will feature the usual load of great interviews and
pictures. In addition it will have a new Joe Staton cover
and a NEW E-Man story. Yep you heard me right, a
complete new story.
Now Twomorrows the firm which
puts CBA out has been known to be late on delivery,
but they say the thing should be arriving soon after
the new year. The issue number will be
#12.

Charlton makes yet another appearance at Scott
Shaw's Oddball Comics site. This time the featured comic
is "Out Of This World" Vol. 1 #1 from 1956. The
cover is a strange one and as usual Shaw supplies a
brief overview of the contents. Give it a peek. The

I was just at John Morrow's house yesterday
helping him stuff subscription envelopes for Alter Ego.
He mentioned that CBA would be doing a few more
Charlton issues --I see him again in 2 weeks, I'll ask
more about the summer issue then. Btw, the Jack Kirby
Collector will now be treasury size! This will enhance some
of the art throughout and hopefully will generate
some more sales.

Thanks for the information Loston. You have made
my day by letting me know there will multiple
Charlton issues in my future. I look forward to
them.
I don't know about taking the Kirby Collector to
Treasury size though. I understand the reasoning, but I
don't know if that is a package I would want to fool
with. I wish them good luck.
If you would be so
kind as to pass along my thanks to them for the many,
many hours of reading pleasure they have given me over
the last few years. Nothing new on the stands has
thrilled me half as much as some of those jam-packed
issues of JKC and CBA and Alter-Ego.

It is a real pleasure to welcome a new member
here at the Bullseye. Things are pretty slow here most
of the time, but I and a few others try to keep at
least the glimmer of a conversation going. When things
erupt on the Charlton front more activity will develop.
Feel free to participate and let us know what Charlton
comics are your favorites. How did you find your way
here by the way?

This is getting to be a habit. Another Charlton
comic has surfaced at the Oddball comics site. The
latest is "True Life Secrets" Vol.1 #23 from 1954. To

Since the subject of Charlton's ghost comics come
up here with fair regularity, I'm going to post the
URL of an interesting new club, "No Superheroes
Allowed." While he does like super-heroes, the founder of
"No Heroes" is somewhat alarmed by the fact that
costumed characters dominate almost all yahoo comics
clubs; consequently he has started a venue for every
other genre: crime, horror, teen humor, western, funny
animal, true life, war, science-fiction, etc. If anyone
care to take a look go
to:
http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/nosuperheroesallowed
While our "Action Heroes" are banned over there, much
Charlton material is open for discussion there and would
be a welcomed topic.
Take care,
Jon

Happy Halloween to all my fellow Charltonians!
Why don't we all celebrate the holiday by digging out
a copy of a Charlton scary comic and enjoying some
of that vintage Ditko or Boyette or Sutton or Staton
or Newton charm. Or you could take your favorite
horror host to luch. Some of them look like they could
use a meal. I have dibs on Winnie the Witch
though!
Enjoy the holiday!

Love those Sea Monkeys! I always wanted some of
those smiling little creeps, and the beauty of
adulthood is it get to do what you couldn't folks into when
you were a kid. I bought them (for my daughters don't
you know) and I think they lasted a week. Actually
I'm not sure they were ever alive. Another of life's
mysteries solved.

I'll have to peek, but it seems to me that the
ads in Charlton comics always seemed to be aimed to a
slightly older crowd. I could easily misremember that. I
do know that there were plenty of get-rich-quick
schemes.

Seems to me Charlton adds had a good mix of stuff
for ALL ages actually. Sea Monkeys, Daisy Rifle adds,
Learn Kung Fu, Exploding fountain pens & X-rap specs,
The Magic Power of Witchcraft, Play Guitar,
Highschool Diploma and Ring, Sell Grit, Prizes or Cash, 100
piece toy soldiers, Ham radio adds, Keep on Truckin'
shirts, hair growth, Snap-tite models, and even Superman
coins made the cut for Charlton adds!! I'd say that
small assortment spanned a lot of different age groups!
Perhaps Charlton would run adds for anyone who'd pay to
put them in their books! I doubt Charlton would have
been as picky, maybe, because they weren't the comics
giant that Marvel or DC were. I can't for sure say--I
just know that the adds are a great deal of fun to see
nowadays! They really take me back to my youth! I almost
wish someone would collect all the comic book adds of
yesterday and publish them in a coffee table, jumbo book.
Think about it--It'd be a real kick seeing Casper save
the day with hostees fruit pies or see Mac
become'Hero of the Beach' again! The Nostalgia value alone
would get my buck! Seamonkeys on the
cover--definately.

I hate to say it but Charlton was a low rent outfit and they tended to run cheap ads and a lot of them.

Charlton wasn't "Low Rent", they were "NO Rent"!
I pulled out a couple of Charlton's and here is
what I found. In "Strange Suspense Stories" #9 (Sept.
1969) the inside front cover has a body-building ad,
later we find an ad for a weight-GAINING drink, a
half-page ad for "Grit" (I acually sold Grit for a short
time),a half-page on Lincoln-head penny collecting,an ad
for fake facial hair appliances, a full-page ad for
the "Nasa Space Pen" which would write for "100
years", and the inside front cover features fishing
tackle. There a host of smaller classified ads for things
like mini-bikes,poets-wanted,drafting kits, and
various schlocky gimmicks like X-Ray specs and magic
cards and whatnot. The audience would seem to be young
teen boys the predictable audience for such a
comic.
I then took out a comic from 1978, specifically
"The Many Ghosts of Dr.Graves" #65 and here is some of
what I found. Inside front cover has a more in your
face body-building ad,a full-page ad for "Precious
Pets Pendants",a very small-print full-page ad on "The
Magic Power of Witchcraft",a late version of the toy
soldier ads,a full-page on Elvis reel-to-reel home
movies,TV Star T-shirts,another toy-soldier ad,another
half-page "Grit" ad, and something about making cash
selling personalized metal social security plates (got
me?).There are still the novelty device ads in abundance and
finally on the back cover and Olympic Sales Club ad
selling you on the idea of selling products to others.
The audience for this one seems much the same though
some of ads seem to be well off target audience. Some
seem too old and some seem too young.
If we
assume these are representative then Charlton doesn't
seem to have run dramatically more ads than most other
publishers, but they might seem a little more for a targeted
audience and there is nothing specifically comics oriented
in any of the ads. This tells me they didn't
percieve themselves to be selling to comics "fans" but to
comics readers.
I found no Sea Monkeys alas, but
this is only the quickest of samples. I was frankly
surprised that so little changed in the course of a
decade.
Kaji Dha!

Hey Dean, I sold Grit too!! I never actually knew
of another person who did--so I'm floored!
As
far as seamonkeys go, yep--Charlton had em. The very
Seamonkey add I posted was from the back of Scary Tales
#12! I don't really see as a case can be made that
Charlton targeted any particular audience--they just ran a
lot of diverse ads. You are right about them not
changing their add formats often as well. They always ran
gimmick gum ads, bodybuilding programs, secret ninja
techniques, toy soldiers, etc.. I think all that added to
Charlton's unique nostalgia value. They were a different
company from the 'big two'--in almost every facet. It
appears this was also the case with their advertising.
Don't get me wrong--similar ads appeared in the pages
of other publishers, but as the times changed, those
companies changed out their advertising. Charlton seemed
reluctant to do so--as if stuck in a time warp. In my mind,
that made them all the more classic.

I'm not sure where Perlin is these days, but back
in the early and mid-90's he was a major cog in the
Valiant comics machine. He drew dozens of their books,
but more importantly he was responsible for training
the new guys (the "knobs") and instilling the house
look into them. He was brought in by Shooter and
stayed on after Shooter left the company (or was forced
out depending on the story). I think he is one of the
few guys who stayed behind Shooter doesn't really
hold a grudge against, but I could have that one wrong
too. He had a substantial run on "Solar" and was the
very important in maintaining the continuity of the
"Unity" crossover.
He was one of those guys who
told a good clean if not overly exciting story. I
always liked the neat, more realistic proportions he
gave to his characters. I remember his great run on
"Werewolf by Night" and I think he is the guy who
originally designed the Moon Knight. Perlin's style was
perfect for those little ghost stories and
such.

The image gracing the club page right now is a
wonderful Jim Aparo drawing of "Wander". The question
is:
What comic featured the adventures of "Wander, the Man

...From a business standpoint...perhaps that was
the problem !!!!!!!!! Wasn't C. outta new productions
by late-'78 ?
Today , most DC/Marvel ads are
WAY " upscale " , if you can consider salt/sugar crap
and video game ads that - both in PRESENTATION ( no
lil' box ads now , bleed printing , etc. ) , and in th
TYPE'A companies represented - though th' DEFINITION of
" blue-chip " may have changed a trice in 20-30-40
years !!!!!!!!!
" Back in thh' daaaaaaaaaaay " , DC
( it seems ) , especially , got soemma thatt ,
Marvel , too ( Um , toy-candy companies/TV networks , is
what I mean by " blue-chip " , say . ) , but , NOT C.
!!!!!!!!! - I'll go into ( at least one ) theory , as to
WHY , later ! Later !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't aware of Don's Valient stuff. To be
honest, I wasn't buying Valient. I was attending the
Kubert School, and was watching my money. (Art equipment
is expensive!) One of my favorite Charlton comics is
Ghostly Haunts #58. On the cover, we see a man blasting a
muck monster with a shotgun. The monster isn't
impressed! Don did the cover and the lead story featuring
that beasty, called "The Fugitive". His art in that is
very Wrightson-like--quite good! He also drew a sexy
looking Winnie too! I hope to see some future Perlin
stuff. If anyone hears news about Don, please share with
me!

Waltsland,
Definately Charlton was lacking
in sales and financial backing in the way Marvel and
DC was. Charlton was a smaller
operation--period--and in every way. Distribution to print quality,
Charlton definately was in the back seat. Still, despite
all of that, they still managed a lot of good comics.
I wouldn't trade my Charlton comics for anything!
Even the cheap-ass, low grade stuff! If nothing else,
Charlton was UNIQUE. It's own voice in the industry. I
remember the company fondly and I still enjoy reading
those same books I read as a kid. Charlton was what
comics should be about--fun!

Bingo! Thanks for playing Eric! The strip began
as a surprise in the back of this western of all
places and is one of Charlton's little hidden gems. It
features some fine Aparo artwork and later some of Fred
Himes' best work. I do believe Denny O'Neil was the
scripter for much of the run.

Yes--with my allowance. My father also bought
comics for me. I am familiar with many comics from an
earlier age as well, as my Uncle (nearly 17 years my
better) gave me his entire comic collection. This
included many 60's books. Neal Adam's Batman & Wrightson's
Swampthing among them. There were also many Charlton Comics.
Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, etc.. I also have made many
efforts to collect stuff from earlier periods. I'm quite
proud of my Fantastic Four from the 60's which is still
not complete. To answer your question. Yes--I was
buying comics in '75. I was the 'comic book kid' to my
buddies. Comics were not discouraged, though my mother did
seem to hope I'd grow out of it. I remember her
tossing a few away in the trash a few times, but she was
the one who changed her mind about comics--not me. I
have no idea about you Waltsland--how old are you? Did
you buy Charlton back then? I read my first comic (a
Batman, which I still have) at age 4 or 5. I was just
learning to read, and I remember my parents guiding me
through it. I would read them panels and need help with
the words. I was afraid of going to school, which was
approaching, and I think my mom and dad considered comic to be
"funny books". Since I liked the pictures, it must have
seemed a good way to help me learn to read. I also
started drawing from owning that book. I would trace the
images of Bats by placing a sheet of paper over the
page, and holding it up to a window. The sunlight
served as a crude lightbox. Now, I draw for a living!
Comics have always been a part of my life, it
seems.

In the most recent column by Tony Isabella there
is a brief item called "The Secret Origin of Image
Comics". The gist of the item is that the old Nightshade
villian The Image sports a symbol on his chest very
similar to the Image Comics corner box symbol. There is a
reproduction of a page of great Jim Aparo artwork. The address
is:

In the on-sale-now comic "World's Funniest" there
are lots of DC universes on display for fun and
sport. In all that activity there is a single panel
featuring our beloved Action heroes in combat. The comic is
expensive but it features loads of fine art and more than
one good laugh.

I think while we're on this subject it would be a
good time to bring up the fact that Charlton had some
of the best house ads in all of comics. The
full-page adds with the logos and a few selected characters
(often in intriguing action poses) was very seductive.
They did a good job of cross-promoting the comics.(
Something I think comics should do a lot more of these
days. I am beginning to see a little bit of it at
Marvel, but not really enough. )The ads in the Charlton
comics were like little posters and I have more than one
back issue in my collection where the ad has
apparently been treated just like a poster.

Charlton sold it's book wares in 'pockets'--in
selected areas. I was able to find them in Clintwood,
Va--a coal mining town with under 2000 people! Usually,
I got them in illegal packs of three. When store
owners didn't sale them individually, they'd bind 3
books together and put them out on a shelf to resell at
a new price. Sometimes, I'd buy them and they'd be
missing the front covers (comics aren't supposed to be
resold missing any parts. In those days --maybe still--a
store was suppose to cut off and return the front cover
of a book they couldn't sell. Then, they were
supposed to burn the remainder of the magazine.). At other
times, I bought 3 packs of books with the covers still
on them. Either way, a 3 pack cost about 35¢! I
discovered the joys of Charlton from these 3 packs moreso
than the books I inherited by my uncle. I couldn't
tell you how many Charlton Ghost Manors, Haunted,
Monster Hunter, etc. I bought in this fashion. Some with
and without front covers. Come to think of it,
Sometimes the middle book still had a cover on it, and
often a Gold Key, DC, or Marvel book would be inside
those plastic wrapped grabbags!

Great story. I love finding out the various ways
people discovered their comics. It seems that the very
best stories seem to always be connected to Charlton
comics. Their odd and sometimes quaint distribution makes
for some unusual encounters. Thanks for sharing with

I didn't see any re-bags or other questionable
practices until I moved to Denver in early 1967, and they
were still rare. I can remember one used bookstore
that did sell coverless comics at a nickle apiece or
two for five cents (I forget which), and another
store that sold bags of five or six comics that were
three or four months old for a quarter. It seems like
the grabbags usually contained more Archies and DCs
than Charltons. In the late 70s I did see a few bags
of reprinted comics in unlikely places like Wyoming
Safeways and K-Marts; they contained three books and
Charltons made up a high percentage of the books. I forget
who the distributor was but they different
publishers' logos that the originals. I seldom bought the
re-bags because they were usually different combinations
of about a dozen different issues, and usually ones
I didn't want anyway.
Take care,

When I bought the 3 packs of coverless comics
(for a 25-35¢), I hadn't a clue that it was an illegal
thing in anyway--indeed, I thought it was an ingenius
thing to sell comics 3 in a pack! The front covers
missing didn't really bother me so much either
(collecting comics meant that you liked and kept
comics--condition and money value was unknown to me completely!)
Illegal as it was, I'm glad that I was able to acquire a
number of Charlton books in this manner. It was an
important part of my childhood, these books. I'm sure
buying this way did little to help a struggling Charlton
though. Who knew these things?! I was 7 years old or
something like that! Even after I read the small type that
stated that the books couldn't be sold in any mutilated
form, I still didn't think any laws had been
broken--after all a grocery store couldn't be a law breaker?!
These people sold coca-cola, captain crunch and
Pop-rocks for god's sake! At any rate, I repaid for all
those illegal issues in my own way a few years later,
scooping up individual 35¢ issues at an alarming rate!
Into my teens, I consumed enough Charlton Comics to
warrent a mental analysis--
You never see such
things as those illegal 3 packs nowadays. Mostly because
comic shops are the order of the day to find your
'funnies'. Also, because companies like Marvel Comics would
jump on any such outlet that attempted such a feat
like a pack of rabid dogs! Such things are pursued
more frequently in modern times.
I still have one
unopend 3 pack ('3 pak', it says--'Still only 35¢!' in an
obvious swipe of the old Marvel price-burst effect.) On
one side, we have Ghost Manor #16 (front cover has
been chopped; The other side: Beyond the Grave-- with
a front cover! Depicting the corpse of a soldier
pushing open a coffin lid while a ghost with a shovel
stands over the freshly dug grave! In the middle is a
Mickey Mouse comic--still with covers intact. I've never
opened it. It's a time capsule I will forever
keep.

Well it has happened yet again. In this week on
intense political activity Oddball comics has recognized
yet another comic from the Derby Connecticut
publisher we all love.
"Caroline Kennedy" is a 1961
comic drawn by the talented future editor of the
Charlton line, Dick Giordano. It features the daughter of
the then newly elected president and at this point
lone surviving member of the nuclear presidential
family.
The address

And don't forget to look for "Zsa-Zsa The

Loston. I don't know if I could bear not opening such a
treasure. A few years ago when it seemed every other comic
was sold while in a plastic bag I heard of folks who
bought them and simply tucked them away for investment
purposes. I couldn't understand that at all. I know you are
retaining yours for purer reasons of nostalgia which I can
not only identify with but respect. I have fragments
of original comics I have bought over the years. I
have upgraded, but there is something oddly potent
about the orignal copies and the pedigree I can attach
to them. They are touchstones to other times when
things were simpler or at least seemed so. When the
Spring was springier and the cars ran faster and
presidential elections were over in one day. Alas for the
misty past.
Kaji Dha!

If I ever have a child of my own, perhaps I'll
let him/her open that 3-pak--Or maybe I'll someday
open it as a special treat on a special occasion. Or,
I might break it open on a particularly bad day in
an effort to lift my spirits--who knows?
I
otherwise open all my books and mags discarding all the
wraps they might have. Especially any new toys! I rip
the box to shreds and pull that sucker out without
hesitation! I collect toys, but not for money value. I don't
collect anything for money value. I do try to get the
best copies of comic books I can, but that's so it'll
last longer!
I have collected for swapping value
before. I bought all the first Image books (Spawn,
Wildcats, Cyberforce, Pitt, etc), only to trade all of them
in for back issues of comics I really wanted!
Comics are my life--(I'm pencilling one now!) but they
are just paper. I recently gave John Trumbull my only
copy of X-men #137 (death of Phoenix) for helping me
move. It was also a goodbye gift. He's one of the best
friends I ever made, sharing 6 years of the 'Kubert
experience'. That book meant a lot to me, because the story
meant so much to me. The very memory of how I got that
book had meaning, as I got it from my first girlfriend
as a birthday gift. It's true value is the joy I
received from it. I passed that info on to John when I
gave it too him. He had never owned, but had always
wanted to own, that issue. But by relating it's
importance to me, I made it clear to him how much I missed
having him around. He is a true friend (not many of
those in a lifetime!), and I wanted him to know that he
was.

I recently became aware of a new fanzine (on
paper and everything) dedicated to Charlton Comics. It
is titled "Charlton Spotlight" and it is produced by
Michael Ambrose. The first issue is due out soon and goes
for $6.95 (tax and shipping included I believe). For
your money you will get a complete Charlton Comics
checklist, a new Tom Sutton cover, and 52 pages of material
in an issue dedicated and in the memory of Pat
Boyette. Apparently lots of covers and spot art will be in
the package as well as articles.
The address
is:
CHARLTON SPOTLIGHT
Argo Press
PO Box 4201
Austin

78765-4201

Sounds like a winner to me and I plan to order mine
posthaste. If I learn more I'll be sure to let the
membership know.

With all the attention Charlton is getting lately
we may be in the midst of a Charlton
renaissance.
Two fanzines giving the company attention is almost
more than I can stand. Living in the desert for so
long makes the advent of plenty more than my system
can stand. I'll live though. There hasn't been this
much material about the company available since long
before the Derby plant closed. Good Times!

It is becoming a weekly thing! Charlton must have
put out some strange comics because they seem to get
represented each week at Oddball Comics over at CBR. This
week is a classic 25 center from Steve Ditko, the 1966
reprint magazine "Fantastic Giants". This opus reprints
the first issue of "Konga" and "Gorgo". The reason it
is included in this week's set of comics though is
that Ditko has a self-portrait on the cover. Suffice
it to say it is not a standard image.

The club picture has taken a back burner for now,
but rest assured, I can't wait to do it, and you'll
see it here at some point. A promise is a
promise--I'll deliver.
So why isn't it done yet? Because,
my fellow champions of Charlton, I'm currently
working hard on a CAVEWOMAN one-shot, called "Klyde &
Meriem". This will be my first official comic debut as a
penciler, and the project is due out around April. Bob
Smith (Weird Tales, Hellraiser) provides the story, and
Kim (Swamp Thing, She Hulk) DeMulder will supply the
inking chores. I'm drawing 2 covers, all of the interior
pencils, and designing the logos and ad layouts, so I'm
pretty much swamped at the moment. When I'm done with
the project, I will produce the club picture. If
everything goes as planned, it should really turn out
nicely.
Hey folks, can I count on you guys to pick
up a few copies of the Klyde & Meriem one-shot?
We're an independent book, and the only money we see
will be from sales results over 9000 copies. So tell
your friends about the book and pick up an issue if
you can afford it. We'll appreciate it
greatly!

P.S. I love the ads Charlton
stuck on the bottoms and sides of the 50's efforts.
Sure they would have sucked at the time, but they have
a neat nostalgia to them now.

Twice in a week! That may be a record for Oddball
comics (even Scott Shaw himself commented on
it)!
This time the Charlton comic in question is a 1958
effort called "Unusual Tales" and ironically the issue
number is 13. Just take a look. I can't describe this
one accurately.

I'm really starting to get upset. I don't know if
we should be flattered or not that so many Charlton
Comics are making it to Scott Shaw's great site Oddball
Comics, but here is the latest installment.
The
comic is from 1961 and it is a children's work called
"Hunk". It is about a caveboy and his very colorful
dinosaur companion. The address

If you like to keep up with the modern
appearances of our favorites Charlton action heroes, there is
a wonderful examination of Ted Kord in the current
"Bird of Prey", # 25.
There's also an absolutely
gorgeous full page splash of the Beetle in
action!

Now you may wonder why I would mention The Jack
Kirby Collector here at the Charlton Bullseye as
Charlton may have been the one comic company Jack never
worked for. But in the latest issue there is a Kirby
recreation of the classic Amazing Fantasy #15 pose of the
debuting Spider-Man with criminal in tow. But in this
recreation the criminal has been transformed into Steve
Ditko and it is a very entertaining drawing
indeed.
Additionally there is an interview with Alan Moore in which he
discusses the effect of Kirby on his work. There is little
here not in the Comic Book Artist Charlton issue for
the fans here, but it is another chance to see the
Watchmen and hear from one of thier creators.
Just
so you know!
Kaji Dha!

Steve,
It's due out in April, and Previews
should run our full page ad in the January edition I
believe.
I could use all the support I can get as the only
money I stand to make is from sales, which usually is
meager with independent comics. Tell a friend! Tell 3
friends! We need your support!

Thanks for the correction Walter. It is fun to
think what if Charlton had landed the King when he
became disenchanted with Marvel. Can you see the Kirby
touch on heroes such as Peacmaker and Thunderbolt.
Imagine the whole Fourth World saga not as part of the DC
universe, but as part of Earth-4's timeline. Intriguing
notion. At least Charlton would have let him finish the
darn thing.

Hey dudes and dudettes,
I've uploaded a
reference-photocopied, sheet handed out at the Joe Kubert School to aid
artists & writers with panel layout. It is a sheet called
"22 Panels That Always Work". It was something Wally
Wood put together for himself and used to have taped
to his desk. I hope that it will benefit someone
here who might be an aspiring artist or writer for
comics. Here's the link, which will only be available for
a week or so, so take advantage now! File size is
large to ensure a decent print
copy.

Which Charlton character not a member of the
Action Hero line which was scooped up by DC would be the
most successful in a revival in today's market?
(Assuming any character could be successful in such a
market.)
Now that only rules out Sarge Steel, Blue Beetle,
Captain Atom, Peacemaker, Nightshade, Judomaster, and Son
of Vulcan (I think).
That leaves a lot of
great Charlton stars out there for potential
revivification. Which might work in the current comics
environment?
My vote goes to two that I can think of immediately:
Dr.M.T.Graves and The Cheyenne Kid.
I think Dr.Graves
could do well with a little of that Vertigo treatment.
His rationality and cool demeanor would be a nice
variation on the X-Files approach to horror and the
bizarre.
The Cheyenne Kid always had a rather modernistic edge
to his adventures. Perhaps that was a consequence of
Sanho Kim. But of all the Western stars of the 60's and
beyond I think the Kid has the most chance of striking a
cord with a harder-edged modern audience. What was
done to Rawhide and Two-Gun over at Marvel in "Blaze
of Glory" would be only a gloss on the Kid.
What do you all think? Who would work?

Anyone else remember this little sci-fi series
from the same folks who gave us "UFO" and "Captain
Scarlet"?
Back in the days when science fiction was
rare in the popular media it was a real treat to get
anything and in that context "Space 1999" (one year out of
date now it seems) was a biggie for me. Martin Landau
was an actor of some gravity and he gave this British
series a bit of legitimacy. The adventures were pretty
mundane by modern standards and the effects were good for
the time but look rather odd today.
But this
series by Charlton both in B&W and the color comic
versions was rather excellent stuff. Joe Staton and John
Byrne did work for the color comic while Gray Morrow
helmed the B&W artistry.
What do you all
think?

Dean, I have very fond memories of the tv series
of Space 1999. Here in the U.K. it's occasionally
shown on Saturday afternoons on the BBC and still
entertains.I never saw the comics, but then I was never very
interested in tv tie-ins. I might look for the books if
Morrow, Byrne and Staton were involved though! Are
Charlton's Six Million Dollar Man comics any good? I have
fond memories of that show.
Regards,
Steve.

The Charlton effort on the "Six-Million Dollar
Man" is a lot more uneven than on "Space:1999". The
color series was begun with Joe Staton on the artwork
but shifted to Jack Sparling and others. I know
Sparling did all of "The Bionic Woman" issues.
The
B&W magazines were done by Continuity Associates
which meant that Neal Adams often did the covers and
his henchmen (among whom were Dick Giordano) did much
of the rest of the work. They are reasonably well
drawn but the stories aren't all that great.
Generally they are handsome books, but not overy exciting
ones.

Never read the comic version, but remember the
ads for Space 1999. I watched the show, and was
disappointed that Sci-Fi Channel didn't have a Space 1999
millenium marathon.

We are still looking for those Charlton
characters which might prosper in the modern market. See
post #625 for the details, but essentially all the
characters are eligible except the Action Heroes taken by
DC.
We have three names so
far:
Dr.Graves
Cheyenne Kid
Killjoy
Who do you think could be
successful today?

Well, I suggest that DC has done zip to promote
the Charlton comic characters they already have, so I
submit that they are all prime for a revival!
But to
comform with your request, I'd say that Doomsday+1 is the
comic that would be the most fun to see return. Imagine
Kurt Busiek writing something like that, with an
artist of equal talent. Hell, I'd even deal with seeing
Byrne revisit the title if he had a decent
inker--

I had a look at an online comics retailer site to
have a look at the above mentioned titles. I couldn't
believe how highly they were priced! The first issues of
the comics of both titles were about 8 or 9 pounds
(about 6-7 dollars US I think). At the same site Ditko
issues of Space Adventure from 1967 or so were about
half the price! do these titles follow a similar
pattern in the US? I know both shows have quite an
enthusiastic cult following but I was genuinely surprised at
these prices.
Regards,
Steve.(who was really
looking for Planet of the Apes comics anyway :))

I would have to say that the pricing is pretty
comparable over here Steve. I am lucky that I have all the
"Space: 1999" material, but I have recently tried to get
a few "Six-Million Dollar Man" magazines and they
are pretty expensive.
What I want to know is
how the Ditko material is going so cheaply.

Thanks for the reminder Walter. So far we have
the following list:
Dr.Graves
Cheyenne
Kid
Killjoy
Michael Mauser & Rog
Vengeance
Squad
Doomsday +1
& Atomic Mouse
All of these see
like they might be viable to me. The Mauser and Rog
team would be a little quirky, but it could be real
fun.

Wander, the offbeat western space opera created
by Denny O'Neil and Jim Aparo gets some special
attention in the latest issue of Comic Book Marketplace
(the one with Magnus Robot Hunter on the cover). The
article outlines the full run of the series and details
the writers and artists who had a hand in the
adventures of perhaps the oddest western star in the history
of the medium.
How else would you categorize a
extraterrestial, Shakepeare-spouting, cowpoke. You have got to
admit it bends the rules of the usual gameplan for
these prairie adventures. There is a little artwork
with the article, but nothing overwhelming
unfortunately.

Does anyone have any information on Jack
Sparling? He was not one of my favorite artists but he was
one of those guys who was everywhere. He quietly drew
hundreds of comics for several publishers over the years.
I know he did "Bomba", "The Secret Six", "Bionic
Woman", "Kromag", "Neutro", and dozens of others. Does
anyone know what has become of him?

Perhaps even more so than Yang itself would be a
sincere attempt to revive "House of Yang". This little
book by Sanho Kim is one of the most beautiful and
strangely interesting stories Charlton ever printed. The
mileau of 19th century China was fascinating. It would
be interesting to see the Yang story
completed.

Though I don't know what happened to Jack, I do know that he was born in 1916. So he'd be about 84 years old if he was still with us. Undoubtedly he is retired at this point.

much the E-Man fan doesn't already know, but it is a

Charlton makes yet one more (with many to go I
reckon) showing at Scott Shaw's Oddball Comics column.
This time in a general celebration of Hanna-Barbara
the Charlton run of Flinstone books (among others)
gets a rather harsh memoir. Seems the Charlton
material wasn't too popular overseas. For the details go

I ask this in all seriousness. Steve Ditko is one
of my favorite artists, but it seems in the last ten
years or so he has really just been hacking it out. Now
to be fair I haven't seen much from him except the
stuff he does now and again for the Big Boys, but it
doesn't ever seem to have that old spark and wit.
What do you all think?

I think it may just be age catching up with him ,
he must be what? 70-80 yrs old?
The most recent
stuff of his I've seen is the packages Robin Snyder
publishes. The most recent one contains new stories (I
think) of Killjoy and Mr A and in places is very
entertaining, in other places its like wading through
concrete.
Although his art isn't as good as it was,imo, I think its
more to do with the fact he doesn't seem to be as
interested in telling a ripping yarn as he is in getting
across his philosophy on life.
I think the last
'mainstream stuff' I've seen of his was a 'Captain Victory'
comic for Topps and before that 'Speedball' for Marvel,
I liked Speedball to be honest.
Regards,
Steve (who's just remembered he saw Kevin Nowlan inks
on a Ditko Spectre short for DC a couple of years
ago, very nice!)

I know many here respect the work of the late Don
Newton. He was one of several great talents at Charlton
in the mid 70's who went on to do some fabulous work
for DC. His Shazam is considered by many to be the
best since the character's revival. There is at least
one Avengers Annual he did featuring some Marvel
characters. He did a very nice Batman and was only beginning
a run on Infinity Inc. when he passed away. If only
he were still with us.
What character either
at Marvel or DC today would you have loved to see
the talented Mr.Newton take a hand at?
I would
love to see what he did with Doctor Strange. I think
that would have been a perfect marriage of style and
character.
What do you all think?
Kaji Dha!

Welcome Gomdulla to the Charlton Bullseye! Always
glad to welcome another fan of the little company that
could and often did. Are you a particular fan of the
Action Heroes? Or do the Ghost books speak to your
heart? War? Romance? Western?
How did you find us
by the way?
Welcome Again!

I would have loved to see him on most
anything!
I loved Don's Batman, Green Lantern, Phantom and
Captain Marvel! Doc Strange would be a natural fit for
Don's style.
I think I'd have liked to have seen
Don do something that wasn't a seeming natural fit--
Like maybe Hulk or something of that nature. Don could
handle most any superhero just fine, I think. Since this
is the Charlton club, I'll say that I'd like to see
him do Captain Atom .
That would be fun

I think I have a drawing of Captain Atom by
Newton around here somewhere. I'll have to check, but I
think he did some wonderful renditions of the Charlton
crew for "The Charlton Portfolio", a fanzine put out
by the CPL Gang and which was the work that got them
the original Charlton Bullseye gig. I'll have to do a
little detective work.
I'll get back to
you.

It has been a while and many of us have listed
from time to time our favorite features from the the
little Charlton comics company.
But if push came
to shove and you have to pick just ONE. Which one
Charlton comics character would you select? Who is you
SINGLE favorite Charlton star?
Needless to say
you only get ONE choice. Who will it be?
Mine
is Blue Beetle by Joe Gill and the art team of Bill
Fracchio and Tony Tallarico. Those comics while inept in
many ways have a energy and a spirit I haven't found
in many comics ever and almost no modern one. I find
that bright blue costume darn near
irresistable.
That is my ONE choice. I could've dithered about
whether it was Judomaster or E-Man or someone else, but
when I have to choose just one I go with Blue
Beetle.
What is yours?
Kaji Dha!

Dean,
Tough choice actually, but it's
pretty easy for me to pick E-Man as my favorite Charlton
character. He may not have done all that well at Charlton,
but he has proven popular enough to have been revived
elsewhere and I think he was treated better post-Charlton
than any of the characters that wound up over at
DC.
Take care,
Jon

I find it interesting that in the several
responses there have been no repeats. This supports one of
my beliefs about Charlton and that is over the years
they produced such a wide variety of material that
little fan niches have been created. There is no one big
hero who dominates the discussions.
So far we
have had:
Blue Beetle (Original Jay Garret
version)
Captain Atom (Gold costume)
E-Man
&
Killjoy.

With the club picture on the back burner for the
moment, I would like to bring up a question about
Charlton artwork. First of all, I collect original art,
owning a Brian Bolland, a Mark Schultz, Don Newton, Gil
Kane, Scott Eaton, Gary Frank, etc.. I'm always looking
to buy some old Charlton art, but I can NEVER find
any for sale! I have only seen one Charlton original
page or art in all the time I've been collecting! Why
is this do you think? Why are "C" pages so difficult
to find, while I seem to be able to find some of the
most rare pages from the 50's-70's?
I know for a
fact the following:
1.) Charlton did not destroy
pages! If they did, it happened early on only. The "C"
page rate was so low, many of the artists got their
artwork back as part of their payment.
2) Charlton did
lose a few originals in storage to flooding and
vandals.
3) At the companies end, many of the pages were
auctioned off, but according to dealers/buyers, many of the
premium artworks never made the auction and were reported
to have 'mysteriously disappeared' just before the
auction date.
Anyone have any clues about such
matters?

Not a clue. I have heard stories that a lot of
Charlton material was simply buried when the plant was
plowed under. I doubt that involved anything we would be
primarily interested in, but I read this somewhere from
someone who said they saw it happen. You are right that
they likely wouldn't have destroyed material as they
would have been apt to reuse it, but they certainly
might have recycled the raw materials. They seemed to
attach little value to the artistic worth of the
work.
I imagine that some of the stuff just "went home"
with people from time to time. If I run across
anything I'll let you know.

I think I'll have to go with the Question.
Mysterious Suspense #1 was a great book. I believe DC just
put out a Millennium Edition of it, and recommend
this story to everyone - especially now that it can be
easily found.
Honorable mention goes to
Thunderbunny though. He didn't get first choice because M.L.
Greim (sp?) still owns him even though he first
appeared in Charlton Bullseye.

I would like to see some of those great old Ditko
ghost covers in the original. I bet Pat Boyette's work
looks great in its raw form too. His pencilling and
inking were so tight that the actual art must be very
impressive.

Tbings have gotten a little quiet here. That
doesn't distress me given that our subject of interest is
a defunct comics company and new information about
it is rare and limited in its accessability. But
what would you like to see here? What subjects are
there to discuss? Feel free to dive in and ask some
questions.
I look forward to the responses.

Hi Dean,
I am interested in if anyone here has
a copy of Space Adventures #44 with the first
Mercury Man in it. I have a copy of #45 with what I
believe to be the second and last adventure.
IMHO I
think the character was interesting and what he did by
leaving the Communist leadership on Mercury highly
unusual for a comic. Any other opinions?

I happen to have that issue Don. I have never
seen the second issue but would very much like to
someday. The introductory issue is pretty basic stuff as
far as premieres go, but as you suggest this
character was a little different. I am surprised we haven't
seent his little guy show up somewhere else. The wings
on his head were too much. I'll have to do another
reading of it before I could comment further.

Don/Dean,
I would be delighted to see
either or both of the Mercury Man stories. That is a
character I completely missed at the newstand, and although
I have seen an image or two of him and have read a
brief entry about him somewhere (probably Jeff Rovin's
'Encyclopedia of Super Heroes'), there is no substitute for the
real thing.
I may as well add the
obligatory:
Happy New Year!

The Dell and Gold Key Comic Club needs a boost.
This Yahoo location dedicated to perhaps the single
most powerful publisher of the late 50's and 60's has
been limping along for sometime now. These venerable
comics surely must have some devotees here and I hope
you can find your way over there and give the place a
look.

It was a fierce battle between Space Ranger and
Yahooie, but after 2 days and numerous heroes Yahooie
surrendered and I can now proclaim that the second Mercury
Man Adventure is up in our photos section. As an
added note, I won Space Adventures #13 off of Ebay and
it features the 1954 return of the BLUE BEETLE.
Whenit arrives I will post an album from
it.
Incidentally, I see a lot of great protential in the Mercury
Man character as his powers adapt to earth. First of
all, he must be a shape changer and be able to adapt
to extremes of heat and cold abd may actually be
able to generate heat or cold.
ANyone else care to
suggest what some of his powers might be?

The Mercury Man here is rather different from the
one in issue #44. I will make an attempt to get that
story scanned in so that everyone can compare. The
power of Mercury Man seems rather unlimited here. His
solution to the problem of worldwide conflict seem
draconian at the least.
But what else can one do about
such overwhelming problems in a mere handful of
pages.
I would like to see this character developed. He
definitely has some J'onn J'onzz
characteristics.
Thanks for taking the time to scan this story in
Don.

Hey to everyone - a new member just checking
through the messages .. and I have to say I had forgotten
about Yang until I saw this .. and suddenly remembered
how much I loved those as well. My earliest memories
of comics are primarily Charlton titles - their
Hercules, Fightin' Army and Yang ... mixed in with Weird
War Tales and G.I. Combat.
I guess my
question would be then .. who owns the rights to Yang? I
don't ever remember seeing him in any DC revival. Does
anyone else?
Just have to say .. I am glad I
found this club! -- Joe

Welcome Joekinski to the Bullseye. Glad you found
us Joe and I am even more glad that you took a
moment to post a message.
I have no answers for
you on the Yang question, but I'm pretty sure DC
doesn't have the rights to Yang. They only have the
Action Heroes from the 60's and not all of those. I
would imagine Yang is owned by the guy in Canada who
does the ACG reprints but that is only a
guess.
Welcome again!

There is a new print fanzine out for Charlton
comics. I got the first issue in the mail yesterday and
it is very much like the CPL Gang Charlton Bullseye
which gives this internet site its name. In fact our
little internet campfire got a mention in this issue as
an internet source for Charlton information. It was
kind of neat to see the Charlton Bullseye getting some
kind of outside recognition.
THE CHARLTON
SPOTLIGHT is put out by Argo Press and a fellow named
Michael Ambrose. The first issue features a number of
features on the late Pat Boyette. I learned a great deal
about the artist and realize that there is quite a bit
of his work out there still to seek out.
Also
included is a Checklist of all Charlton publications. (It
is an ongoing effort.)
I highly recommend
this book to every member here.
The cost of the
book is $6.95 and the address to order one
is:
Argo Press
P.O.Box 4201
Austin,
TX
78765-4201
I don't know how many of these are still available
but the indicia indicates $10.00 will get you the
next two issues of the fanzine. I have no idea as to
the frequency of the magazine but as with most labors
of love this one will probably be intermittant. It
is very professionally done and the cover is a Tom
Sutton piece done just for the issue.

Thanks for the kind welcome ... hope to be fairly
active here ... after about ten years away from the
comic book field ... I dived back in about six motnhs
ago ... and I don't feel like coming back up for air.
One of the first things I happened upon was the CBA
issue on the Charlton heroes ... and though for the
most part those are before my time .. I remember
fondly their 70s titles .. which were the first comics I
remember reading .. I was amazed to see the Fightin' Army
I remember most in the Schultz interview in the
CBA. I can hardly wait for the next part ... hopefully
they'll have Baron Wierwulf and Mr. Bones from Ghost
Manor this time.
Thanks again for the welcime --

Dean - if you haven't picked up ish 25 of Birds
of Prey it does make an interesting read, and
thankfully you don't need to buy a whole load of back issues
to figure out what is going on. From what I
understand, Ted Kord has been retired for several years now,
has been putting on weight again, he ven makes a
crack about the part he hated most was exercising every
day .. but he has kept in conduct with some of the
other computer heroes (Oracle - who is Barbara Gordon
since she's been crippled, while there is another
Batgirl and don't ask because it gives me a headache:) )
He decides to take Barbara out in the old beetle to
tour Gotham, and has an epiphany where he must put the
costume back on again. It is all eerily reminiscent of
the scenes in Watchmen where Night Owl stares at his
costume, and he takes (Dang forgot her name) out in his
owlship... almost like a flipside version of the Watchmen ..
with it being hopeful, rather thna hopeless... -- Joe

Sorry, I was checking the link to make sure it
was live in the previous message and hit the wrong
button, posting prematurely. 'Space Adventures' Vol.3
No.35 with an early Captain Atom story was posted this
morning on the alt.binaries site and can be accessed
through the Nailnews link. This is the real deal, not one
of the reprinted issues of 'Space Adventure' from
the mid-70s but scans of an actual 1960 issue. For
those who don't know about the Nailnews link or cannot
recall the URL, I'll put a link below. Once you hit the
link, click on "alt.binaries.pictures.comics" and go to
today's date and page 1 ("3/1"). The scans are
interrupted by a Superman story from 'World's Finest' #10 but
pick up again after those 14 pages. Here's the link
(again):

That's probably all
I need to say. There is a nice section on Newton's
work for Charlton, which features some pages from some
of the ghost/mild horror books and a wealth of
Phantom scans. I haven't checked out the rest of the site
yet, but that's what I'm going to do
next.
Enjoy,
Don

Thanks Jon. This site is already up on the links
and in fact it is the source of the last few club
pics featuring the Phantom. You will really like this

I believe I added the Newton site to the links
some time ago, but I might be mistaken, as I'm a
member of a dozen yahoo clubs. Newton is tops with me
too, as I've jabbered many times. I only wish that the
Newton website was put together in a more user friendly
fashion and updated on occasion. I'm seriously
considering putting up my own Newton site!

That would be wonderful Loston. I don't think the
talents of a guy like Newton would be overtaken by two
websites. The more I read about Newton, the clearer it
becomes that his death was not only a tragedy for those
who loved and knew him but for the whole comics
community.

Scott Shaw over at Oddball Comics has found
another gem from the Charlton backlist to bring to light.
Space Western Comics featuring Spurs Jackson and his
Space Vigilantes is the kind of comic I think everyone
wants to have at least one copy of. A true space
western is rare. To get a closer look at this "classic"

I never read much in the way of Charlton
adaptations, prefering their own creations to Emergency, Space
1999, Bionic Man, etc.. I've never actually even seen a
Partridge Family Charlton comic, so I feel lucky.
Hehe.

I think I may have one or two around somewhere.
One thing I do know that I have are some promotional
bits for David Cassidy and Bobby Sherman in some
Romance comics from the early 70's. Those illustrated
posters are groovy. These are a hoot and themselves
deserve that oddball treatment.

I only have one issue, but it is a really great
one to have. It's the "Partridge Family Summer
Special" issue (otherwise known as #5). It has some pages
that are pin-ups to color in of all the characters.
Almost every ad has something to do with David Cassidy
and contains the words, "Groovy" or "Luv" or both.
Even an ad for Susan Dey's Private Journal has a line
that says, "Plus...What Susan's Learned From David
Cassiday!". The best thing about the book by far, though, is
the first story, "The Nostalgia Bug Bites Reuben". It
has really well done full-page posters of several
radio stars by Don Sherwood. The Shadow one is
particularly good. It discusses Movie Serials and has a small
picture of Flash and Ming, then mentions Feature Films
and has drawings of "Hoppy" (Hopalong Cassidy (sp?))
and Gene Autry. It even shows a copy of Reuben's
"Lone Ranger Theatre Club" card. All in all, a neat
issue - if you want to see one issue of this series,
I'd suggest this one.
happy hunting,
Jim

Does anyone know of a good source for information
regarding the creation of Captain Atom? I am thinkin
something akin to the Magnus article in Comic Book
Marketplace 83. %There was not too much in the Comic Book
Artist Charlton issue .. and with the 70 bent, doubt
their next issue will have anything either. I am
especially curious into the contemperaneous creation of
Doctor Solar over at Gold Key. The two have always
struck me as very similar characters. I am going to post
a similar message over on the Dell Comic Board..
and will pass on any information that seems
interesting.
Thanks! -- Joe

I finally remembered to look for Birds of Prey
#25. It was a very fine comic. I generally like Chuck
Dixon's work and this is no exception. Now to be honest I
just don't have the time and money to keep up with the
Bat-books and I guess this one is considered one of those.
So it was kind of neat to have a excuse to peek into
this world that I have steered clear of for so long. I
didn't know Butch Guice was drawing this comic. He is
the perfect choice and his Black Canary is beautiful.
But about things Beetle. I agree that this is
certainly some kind of homage to the Watchmen sequence.
There are far too many parallels (even down to page and
panel design) for this to be an accident. It is clever
the way they do follow without aping the earlier
classic sequence. Beetle is in his heroic finest, filled
with doubt and all too human. You feel the fire
because he feels it. If a new Beetle book could look and
sound this good I would say do one immediately.
Thanks for the tip. It was nice read.

I checked that address and it does take you
somewhere odd (unintentionally) but it worked before. I
check them all before I post them, and the comic this
one takes you too now wasn't even up when I set up
that link. Must be some of those "transient conditions
on the web" you hear so much about.

I haven't been able to find the article I'm
thnking about Joe. I have confirmed what you already know
and that Captain Atom is the first of the two heroes
to make an appearance. His debut in 1960 predates
not only Solar but also the Fantastic Four. Solar I
would imagine must have been inspired at least to some
degree by Captain Atom. The fact that Solar's skin
turned green when he transformed into Solar most likely
was an echo of the Hulk. That's speculation, but
seems to be reasonable.
I'll keep looking. I
checked out an article in "The Charlton Portfolio" (the
precursor to the Charlton Bullseye by the CPL Gang) and I
checked an article in RBCC #140 featuring a great Mike
Zeck image of Captain Atom.

Welcome to a new member,Curtsixtn. Glad to have
you here at the Bullseye. Don't hesitate to add to

I don't know what it is really, but I just love
old comics that deal with the Cold War. Captain Atom,
Doomsday+1, early Fantastic Four comics, Kamandi--all of
these fill me with a sense of nostalgia--when, at any
time, the missles might fly, and everything we know
might suddenly come to an end. I don't hate Russians,
or Chinese or anything like that, but there was a
time when COMMUNISM was the enemy. The above comics
reflect the patriotic feelings that most Americans had.
The Cold War might have indeed been a scary time to
live, but its very mention stirs up fantastic fantasy
imagery. The ATOMIC AGE. Nuclear mushroom clouds,
radiation enhanced monsters, flying saucers, and many other
vivid pictures spring to mind when thinking of the 50's
and 60's era of the Atomic Age. The age of the Cold
War. I grew up in the 70's, missing out on the first
moon landing by only a few months, but I really have
an infinity for the early days of the 50's and 60's
sci-fi/fantasy--not so much for the Cold War--but the Cold War
sparked some very creative ideas. Planet of the Apes,
James Bond, Dr. Strangelove, The Day After, Mad Max,
and a ton of other great movies dealt with the
threat/reality of Nuclear devistation. Hell, even Star Trek was
a bi-product of this era!
Despite being a
truly frightning era, it holds a lot of charm for me
somehow. I must be one weird guy.

Nothing strange about being attracted to simpler
times Loston. Now that the Cold War is an historical
relic (according to the popular interpretation anyway)
it is easier to look back upon it with a calm remove
from the pain and suffering involved. Much like any
nostalgic attitude it glosses over the pain and the focus
remains on the pleasure. Knowing the enemy made for an
easy world to apprehend.
I love the Sci-Fi
Invasion movies of the late 50's. But that is because I
sit comfortably removed from the anxiety that made
these films function on a visceral level. I can "watch
the skies" more confident that the missles aren't
coming. That admonition carried a great deal more weight
when the threat seemed imminent.
Charlton is a
product of those times and many, many of its stories grow
naturally out of the uglier aspects of that time. Maybe the
passing of the Charlton company was more pregnant with
meaning than we might first understand. Perhaps they were
the last of an old guard born of the paranoia and
dying with the fall of the wall.

...Uhhh , I might point out that Charlton ,
really , " died " early in Jimmy Carter's term - '77 ?
Late Gerry ? - , really , when they , basically ,
stopped putting out new stuff , and , then , sort of
choked-wheezed-gasped through a number of half-assed would-be
resserections - a period that nobody much at this spot seems to
have shown much interest in - 'fore , FINALLY , giving
up th' ghost(s , of Dr. Graves . ) - in '86 - when ,
I guess ( I kinda wasn't noticing ! ) Reagan-era
saber-rattling WAS still going on pretty heavily , and , to be
fair , th' " USSR " still seemed like a fairly strong
dictatorship , though . little did we know...And , when th'
'Ford/'Peanut " first death " took place ,
" detente " , in
that ever so " warmed-down " Seventies way , was the
word !!!!! ( And , a couple years after that , GREASE
was the word ! Hopelessly devoted to you ! You're the
one that I want !
We go together ! But I digress .

True enough. Charlton took a long time to give up
the ghost. But its dying in stages really came to a
final and irrevocable end when the place was bulldozed
in the early 90's. Never again would Charlton (of
Derby Connecticut fame) rise again.

The next issue of Comic Book Artist due out in
March will feature the Charlton company one more time.
In the current issue featuring Alex Toth and Sheldon
Mayer there are some previews of the coming Charlton
issue and an image of the new cover by Joe Staton. It
is gorgeous. Most of the Ghost comics hosts are
featured as well as E-Man and Nova. The issue will feature
tons more info on the defunct company and what's more
features a NEW E-Man story. I'm breathless!

The Charlton issue isn't scheduled until March,
but you can be certain it will be a central source of

Beetle is a featured character, but it is not a
particularly flattering vision of the hero. He and Booster
Gold seize the "opportunity" they see with the likes
of Superman and Wonder Woman out of commission to
make their own success. They are put forth as rather
self-aborbed types who ultimately pay for their lack of
vision.
On the upside the Beetle looks great as rendered by
Dave Ross. Ross has a real knack for drawing heroes
with truly human proportions and the Beetle is a
perfect subject for such treatment.

Hey all, I just got the word that the new issue
of Previews has the ad for KLYDE & MERIEM, the
Cavewoman comic I am penciling is out on the shelves. It is
a full page b/w ad designed by my wife Carolyn and
myself. It is listed under the BASEMENT COMICS section.
Fellow club member John Trumbull has provided help by
coloring the book's cover and provides a pinup in the back
of the book as well! Do both us a big favor by
getting the issue of PREVIEWS, and ordering a copy of
KLYDE & MERIEM from your local comic store! That's the
only way that we will see any money on this thing. I
think you'll enjoy the book!

Charlton appears at Oddball Comics again. This
time the comic is "Blondie" and the cover in question
features the one and only Dagwood Bumstead becoming a
SUPERHERO. Very entertaining comic, and what's more this is
one I actually own. I'll have to dig it out and give
it another read. The address

There is some Blue Beetle news at Dixonverse
(Chuck Dixon's homepage) and it is good. There is
apparently coming in November of this year an unofficial
Blue Beetle month. He will be appearing in three
comics Dixon handles. There are some more Birds of Prey
appearances coming and Dixon promised a full-blown Beetle
issue at some point. For the details (there aren't

Is there any rhyhme or reason to the Modern
reprints of Charlton books? I have recently seen Captain
Atom 83-84, The Many Ghosts of Dr. Graves 25, and
House of Yang 1. Is there an easy place to look for a
list of these reprints? Mostly curious .. the print
quality seems atrocious on them .. the Captain Atom 83
especially looked like it was about seven times too dark.
You couldn't even distinguish the Ditko art. -- Joe

I'm not immediately aware of a listing outside of
what is available from Overstreet. It does seem they
indicate certain things about these particular reprints. I
have a number of these and as far as I can tell there
really isn't much of a pattern to them. The Captain Atom
issues are in a sequence and I do have at least one Blue
Beetle, a reprint of #1. Seems like there are some
Peacemakers too.

I know I've mentioned this in the past, but you
know--every time I hear the words "Charlton Comics" I think
of their charm. Cheap paper, bizarre ads, lousy
printing, whacky ideas--but still, Charlton Comics seemed
special inspite of all of the above. The company and its
comics were unique amonst all the others--horror titles,
Army mags, cartoon license--even their superheroes
were different than the status quo!
Damn, I miss
Charlton comics, but it's hard for me to envision them
existing in this day and age of 'big business' and
commercialism. It's probably better that they faded out when
they did, because I'd hate to see the Charlton charm
turn to greed as is the situation with other comic
companies.
Still got my memories.

I take your point, but I think one of the things
that gives that nostalgic charm to those old Charlton
comics is the pure essence of "making a buck" which
dominated the company. They were the last of old-style
publishers who jumped on bandwagons and surfed on the newest
trend. Of course they eventually got the whole game to
themselves when the niche markets were abandoned by the
others. Their little mom and pop approach to publishing
made things profitable for them that the others
couldn't touch.
Sure the comics look like crap. But
that jagged trimming and those weird covers with the
vaguely gritty and somewhat oily feeling really made
reading a comic a multi-sensory experience. I think too
that the paper they used was such low quality that it
seemed to be decaying (perceptably) in your hand and the
smells...Ah...the smells. There is just something magical about the
smell of rotting newsprint that takes me back to my
childhood.
Charlton didn't seem greedy because they always seemed
satisfied with a simple profit clearly made. They weren't
distracted by a million marketing deals, they made comics
God Bless Them!

The newest issue of CBJ (#230) has a huge
interview with Tom Sutton. I haven't finished with it yet
(I'm still reading the last CBA for cryin' out loud),
but it looks quite fascinating. Lots of panel work
from his Charlton and Warren horror days, although the
panel blurbs go out of their way to denigrate Charlton.
Check out the cover for Ghost Manor #23 they reprint
though for one of the wildest 70s horror covers. I had
forgotten about that one. So .. check it out. -- Joe

I looked at this one pretty hard, but finally let
it go. The Sutton interview is tempting, but the
Journal's attitude about such work as Charlton produced can
be grating after a very short while. I prefer my
magazines to be a bit less condenscending towards the
topic.

Yeah .. I know what you mean. I haven't made it
to the Charlton section of the Sutton interview yet,
but the large section where Groth esssentially
attempts to solicite any negative comments at all re: Jim
Warren is kinda sickening and repetitive .. especially
as it drags outover five pages. The thing is ..
Sutton actually has a lot of nice things to say about
Warren and his work .. although he is also one of the
more spacier interviews I've read in a long time! If I
do come across anything interesting over the weekend
I will post it on Monday.
What I am looking
forward to as a counterpoint is the Sutton interview in
the next CBA - Charlton issue. Has anyone read the
Warren issue of CBA? Do they talk to Sutton there as
well?? -_ Joe

For the record Captain Atom makes a few cameo
appearances in the recently completed Justice Leagues
one-month event from DC. He is shown as a member of the
"Justice League of the Air" and shows up in one panel of
Justice League of Aliens #1 and Justice Leagues#1. He
doesn't say anything as far as I noticed, but he was the
only Charlton hero who was made a part of any of the
teams.

And I thank God that hes back in his silver look, rather then those other two horrid costumes they gave him in the L.A.W. series.

You're absolutely right Big Daddy. I hadn't even
noticed that he was back in his "original" DC togs. It
may simply be a lack of specific guidance for the
artist though since I really doubt much thought was
given to Atom's role in the story.
I didn't mind
the first costume (blue and silver) he had in the
L.A.W. but I must say the Alex Ross inspired golden
costume did look rather awful as rendered in that last
issue.

You're probably right about the artist not paying
attention. However, I've seen the Captain a few times since
L.A.W. ended, and hes always wearing the pure silver
look. Granted, none of these appearences have been very
significant. I really didn't like the blue and silver costume
he briefly had, but anything was better then that
psydo-Judo Master look they gave him. I hope we don't see
that again until the real Kingdom Come.

Thanks, sonofvulcan, I was really happy to find
a
place on the net dedicated exclusively to one of
the
most neglected comic book publishers of the
last
century. I found this through a search engine
(can't
remember which one, I tried quite a few.)
My favorite
charlton books are Charlton Bullseye
(the comic-sized
one), Captain Atom and Scary
Tales. Now, there's
one question (no pun intended)
that's been bugging
me for a while. Exactly what
year did Charlton
stop publishing comics? 1985?
86? Well, thanks
again for the welcome...

Has anyone seen this on the stands yet? I though
it was supposed to come out in January, but here we
are in February and I haven't seen it. The back cover
of #83 blurbed an article on Steve Ditko's 70s
horror work for Charlton .. so keep an eye out for it.

Hey, Don -- issue 83 has Magnus the Robot Hunter
on the cover .. it is primarily a Dell/Gold Key
based issue .. with Magnus and Twilight Zone covered
extensively. The other story of note was a history of Plastic
Man, detailing all the different versions out there
since DC took him over. The back cover blurbs ish 84
with a Bronze Age Ditko Charlton horror spotlight. The
mock-up cover sports a January 2001 date, but I don't
remember what the planned picture looked like. I'll check
it out tonight when I get home and let you know
tomorrow. -- Joe

reprints old Charlton romance stories ( It's legit , the
guy bought
out one? Charlton title - " FIRST KISS
" ,
I suppose !!!!! - 100% ! ) with , new ,
humorous , dialogue
caps . ( A strip version runs in
Comic Buyer's Guide ! )

reprints one , oddball , story unchanged , apparently , &
has a brief , original , interview with Joe Gill , so

I've been waiting on this thing too. I did find a
copy of the Gold Key/Magnus issue and once I saw that
ad I knew I had to have the next one. But so far,
nothing! I have read on the net that Marketplace has had
some problems and may not be extant. If anyone hears
anything please let me know too.
Thanks in

The following was published in a weekly
Bud Plant newsletter: "Comic Book Marketplace on
hiatus: Gary Carter has resigned as editor, so Gemstone
is considering what to do to carry on the magazine.
Writer Pat Calhoun may become the new editor. I want to
say that although CBM has some problems, such as too
much focus on comics as investments, it has
consistently offered collectors informative articles plus
quality art and interviews. I especially enjoy Nolan's
Notebook by Michelle Nolan, who is one of the most
knowledgeable people in Gold and Silver Age comics. She's also
one of the best writers, being a professional
newspaper writer for almost 30 years. I want to thank Gary
for his long career on CBM, and I hope the magazine
can carry on."
Hope this info helps.

So I guess we weren't the only ones looking for it.

I'm always up for any Charlton reprint and this
one looks to be a dandy. Add to that the fact that
Brave and Bold may well have been my single favorite DC
title after the Justice League and I will be very much
there for this one.
Thanks for the info
Bruce.

I found a real treasure in the dollar bins
yesterday. Fightin' 5 #32 in decent shape and all ready to
read. The cover was a nice image by Giordano and the
interiors featured lush Rocke and Masterioso. It's the
finds of this kind that keep you digging through those
back-issue boxes.

Somebody asked about Charlton's last years ( I
don' have time 2 go thru all the mess.s
to-find-out-whom . ) , and how late they were pub-ling comics...I
went through Overstreet , looking up some titles ,
and...
(1) - " ATOMIC MOUSE " went to #13 , " ?/86 "
.
(2) - " IRON CORPORAL , suprising me , managed a "
#25 , Feb. 86 " !
(3) - However , looking up "
GHOSTLY HAUNTS/TALES " , and , " M.G.O.D.GRAVES " ,
revealed 10/84 #169 , and . 5/82 #72 . respectively , last
dates for 'em !!!!!!!!!
I'm sure there's poo-lenty
more - It's difficult to think of titles , however !
ii ( sic ! ) ll
If someone else . more
technoligically skilled , and ( In time & equipment . ) endowed
than I takes the ball and runs with this , looking it
up elsewhere , cyber-wise...Well , sigh , go ahead
and take the credit . It's happened before . Says I .

The " sic ! " , below , was in reference to my
misspelling of " tech- " ( etc. ) .
When I was sniffing
around comics again , in '85-'86 , I very definitely
'member that Charltons were still around ! Perhaps in
newsstands , more than comics shops , but , I didn't see
many comics shops then !
I certainly do assume
that , when the comics shop boom-fulled re-emergence
of comics happened , in the 80s , somebody at
Charlton must have figured that they could - or , ought to
!!!!! - tryto do SOMETHING . ( I'm not even gonna
emphasize/hypothesize - very much , anyway - if/that they felt
frustrated that they'd , essentially , sold/given up all
their SH properties , either to DC , or to their
creators - Maybe they felt they wouldn't be all that
greatly important - After all , they'd been fairly small
beans in the grand total of Charlton Comics' life . -
Then , again , maybe they DID !!!!!!! )
I bought a
few C.'s during this period , an Atomic Mouse or two
, which did pretty little for me ( Was there
actually any movie/TV version , as Overstreet indicates ?
) , plus a couple of Ditko-featuring things...They
were kind of treating him as their star artist by then
, as well they might ( And he...they ?...)...That
featured , in the back-up spot(s) , this " talking
protozoa/cells spout off Ayn-lovin' rhetoric " things that I
later found out was a color-added ( did Sturdy Stevie
keep the copyright/rights ? )
reprint of something
that'd been B&W/indie/small-scale published - This ,
running as back-up to something a touch more "
conventional " , as I remember it - Reprints , perhaps , of
Ditko mystery stories ?
Ya know , o sprout , us
pre-comic shop era oolldd-tyyyymeeeers DO recall that ,
famously , COVER DATES ON NEWSSTAND-DISTRO'D FUNNYBOOKS
ALWAYS DID TEND TO HAVE A RELATIVELY FAR RELATIONSHIP TO
WHEN THEY WERE ACTUALLY OCCUPYING SPACE ON THE
NEWSSTAND AND THUS OF OUR GREAT NATION , it's not exactly
Newsweek or Time's dating schedule/cover style in
operation here - However , I DO agree that C.'s were " out
" , perhaps , in some cases , just left lying on
the " racks , hey , as they say , but , still , " new
" , even taking any such cases as those may exist
into consideration , into Actual*Calender*Year '86 ,
maybe even '87 ?????????
Actually , it's nice to
know that " ther's still information yet 2B catalogued
" .
even ( especially ) in " my era "

Ditko is indeed still running things of his until
the end .. Charlton Action/Static I think has an '86
date for 11 & 12 .. which are probably the last
issues. These definitely Ditko kept the copyright too as
he carries Static on into Eclipse Monthly, at least
for a little while until he runs afoul of the
editorial board, and then obviuosly prints up the Static
collection along with Robin Snyder. I just got some mags
from Snyder's company .. and included were some of the
Charlton characters with the indicia indicating that
Charlton owned some (such as the Iron Corporal and Yang)
while Ditko owned the copyright to others. I'll dig it
up when I get home tonight and post anything of
interest tomorrow. -- Joe

I believe it was me who had asked about
Charlton's mysterious last days. I actually have some comics
from that dark period (Mysterious Traveler,
Iron
Corporal and Charlton Action Featuring Static), but wasn't
sure if Charlton had published anything else after
that. Thanks for the info!!

HELP! So far there are only two active writers on
the Earth-4 Starting Over club
http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/earth4startingover and neither of them are very familiar with the
characters from Charlton Comics.
On this Earth, the
year is about 1985 or 1986, just after the Crisis on
Infinite Earths, except instead of one single DCU, there
are five Earths left over, and one of them is
Earth-Four, the home of the Charlton Comics characters. Since
there aren't that many to go around, we also added the
characters from MLJ and the golden age characters from Fox
Features Publications.
However, the Charlton Comics
characters themselves have barely seen the light of day.
Some haven't appeared at all, while others people
don't know what to do with them because they're not
familiar with the pre-Crisis versions of them.
Most
of our members of this club and the other Five
Earths Project clubs have never written any fanfic
before joining, and this is done for enjoyment (see this
webpage for more info:
http://www.geocities.com/the5earths ).
Please come by and feel free to jump
right in and tell some stories of the Charlton
characters you're familiar with. Don't be shy! Please e-mail
me with any questions you might
have:
the_time_trust_2000@yahoo.com
And now back to our regularly scheduled
programming...

I signed up and have a notion to write up a Blue
Beetle tale (this is the Charlton Dan Garrett
superpowerful version from the 60's). I don't really have much
of a plot yet but I do know the theme. Give me a few
days to mull the idea and I might get it
started.

Hello, friends! I was truly surprised to stumble
across this site, since Charlton is the most under-rated
company that ever published comics in my lifetime! I know
that often the quality of many titles was less than
what you could find with the other companies, but
Charlton had a unique feel that no other company had.
I
started reading Charlton in the late 50s--the humore
books (Atomic Mouse) and the Space books (when Capt.
Atom first appeared) although I was too young to be a
fan, really. Later, I bought what Charltons I could
find, though they were badly distributed in my area,
and the numbering system they used drove me crazy! (I
could NEVER be sure if there were previous issues of a
title or not!)
I read all the super hero, space and
mystery books, and most of the ghost books throughout the
60s, pluys quite a few of the war, western and humor
titles. However, for a long time my favorite stuff were
the three movie monster books--Gorgo, Reptilicus, and
Konga! To this very day, I'd love to be able to work on
similar comics myself. I love super heroes, but this
unique and interesting category fascinates me! I just
can't understand why a "Gorgo"-like comic isn't being
offered today!
This seems like an active club and I'm
really pleased to have found it. I hope to learn a lot
more about Charlton from you guys...and maybe I have
some info I could share too.

Welcome to the club, chas. I started this site
because I enjoyed the few Charlton comics I owned, and
was interested in learning more about them.
Sonofvulcan has been a most knowledgable and great co-founder
of this club, and he and the other active club
members are VERY very knowledgeable about these great old
Charlton comics.
Feel free to jump right into any
conversation that piques your interest, or begin your own
topics.

Welcome to the Charlton Bullseye Smallpressfan
and Chasmithalpha. This tends to be a quiet little
hangout and anything you might like to add to the
proceedings would very much appreciated. We are always glad
to welcome fans of the little Derby company.
Welcome again!

OK - this is a run down from The Mocker tpb put
out by Snyder & Ditko. Inside it reprints the
Charlton House Ad which appeared in Amazing Heroes 82,
11/1/85. Per the indicia, Snyder and Ditko apply the
following copyrights to these people:
Steve Ditko -
Comics Action Kid, Static, Cosage, and an unnamed
spaceman, soldier, cowboy and magician (very generic
figures with stylized blank/happy faces on the bodies -
in a circle around the main characters)
Robin
Snyder - Mysterious Traveler, Dr. Haunt
Sword in
Stone - Impy, Mr. Bones, Winnie the Witch, Dr. Graves,
Mr. Dedd, Black Crow, Iron Corporal, Prof. Coffin,
Thane, Atomic Mouse, Timmy, Willie Schultz, Yang, L'il
Genius
I don't know how out-of-date/current these notices
are. This is the 2000 2nd edition of The Mocker, so I
would presume they are fairly current, although it
could also be a simple reprint of the original Mocker
trade (from 1989? - forgot to check that out).
That's all I got for the moment. Maybe the next CBA will
clear up some of these mysteries. -- Joe

Thanks for the welcome! This could be a lot of
fun (for me). Because I really enjoyed Charlton
through the 60s and 70s, and want to learn more about the
company. Did you know Steve Skeates, who wrote a lot of
Charlton stuff, has a fanzine he publishes even now? a
humor zine.

Thanks! I know I'll take you up on that offer to
join in! The Charlton comics were fascinating on many
levels, for example, because of the variety of material
they published over the years, and as another example,
for the great differences in quality of story and
art. this makes them worth discussing, don't you
think?

Hey--does anyone here know the name of the artist that drew SAD SACK? I think the original artist only drew the covers on the comics. Any info would be most appreciated.

George Baker created SAD SACK, so I have the answer to that part. Anyone know who drew the comic in the '70s? They were probably reprints from earlier times.

...I'm mentally blocked on the - Fred Rhoads
!!!!!!!!! - YES !!!!!!!!!!! - that's probably the artist
you're thinking of , kind of the Carl Barks/John Stanley
of Sad Sack . I believe he died rather recently . (
Actually , I'm pretty sure , BUT , ya know...) He did
one-panel cartoons for Comic Buyer's Guide during the
Nineties .

Charlton hasn't shown up over at Oddball Comics
for a spell. Well the spell was broken a few days ago
when an issue of "Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds" from
1963 was featured. The subject at hand is the idea
that all the various mud monsters over the years in
various comics have more to do with bathroom habits that
I frankly find comfortable. The comic features a
fine Dick Giordano cover.

Last night I attended a monthly cartoonists
meeting here in St. Paul, which has met for many years in
a local bar which now exists where Charlie
("peanuts") Schulz used to live, and where his father had the
famous barbershop. Among the subjects discussed were
Charlton comics, and one of the people mentioned that
Comic Book ARtist will be out very soon with the
Charlton overview of that company's work during the 70s.
This news was passed on because CBA contacted a local
artist who drew a number of ghost stories during the
70s, Rich Larson (who, with Steve Fastner, has
continued an association with comics by doing airbrushed
covers, card art, posters and so on). Also, the same
source who used to be associated with Jim Steranko's
"Mediascene" in the 70s passed on the word that the special
Warren issue is coming soon as well, for those of you
who liked Vampirella and Creepy.
This is all minor
news, I know, but I thought it would be of interest.

I found a wonderfully cheap,yet still in good
condition, copy of Haunted #2 yesterday. I know how much
Loston loves Impy and this one has the little character
all over. Great stories by Himes, Boyette, and Ditko.
The cover in fact I believe was the same art which
was destined to be used on the cover of the lamented
Ditko issue of Comic Marketplace which didn't get
published earlier this year.
Got it for a buck and
that makes up for that overpriced copy of Gunmaster I
bought a few months back. There is justice after
all.

I had remembered reading the Heart od Dibiju as a
kid. When I got my copy of Haunted #2, seeing that
story again really creeped me out, because it had had
the same effect on me way back then.
I recently
picked up a bunch of E-mans, Prof. Coffin's, Mysterious
Suspense # 1 (Return of the Question),Midnight Tales #17,
Ghosts of Dr. Graves #9, and the first Ditko Blue
Beetle. Also I found Blue Beetle Vol. 3 # 52 from
1965--Dan Garret takes on MAGNO, THE MAN WHO SHAKES THE
WORLD!
Great stuff!
(All will be used as
reference material on the club picture that is currently
stalled due to Comic deadlines of KLYDE & MERIEM, but
will soon be undertaken!)

Glad to hear the club pic is still a work in
progress. I'm sure we all appreciate the work you are doing
on this. As I have seen more of your work, my
excitement over this original piece has continued to
grow.
Magno Man! I love that cover. I saw it in a house ad
when I was a kid and only was able to get a copy for
the first time back in the 80's.

Dean,
Indeed that Blue Beetle cover is
cool--As for the club picture, I definately am gon'na do
it. Always been the plan. KLYDE & MERIEM came along
and has dominated most of my time. I'm wearing a lot
of hats on this Cavewoman Oneshot. I designed the
Cover, the logos, the colors to the cover, created some
'new' dinos and the mysterious 'INVADER', did the
advertisement in Previews, am doing all the penciling chores
and all the sound effects, providing narrative
placement sheets for the letterer, doing all the scanning
of pages, FTPing all the files to Morgan Printing,
and pretty much overseeing the book--making sure this
project is is moving forward on all fronts.
So you
can see that I'm pretty busy. After I am done with
this, I hope to jump to the Charlton club picture. I
have some layout stuff done already. When I get
started, I expect it to take a few weeks to do. I don't
want to rush it. I will ink it and maybe even color it
myself.
Loston
PS: Dean, you may find it interesting to know
that John Trumbull (of Superteam HQ clubs and others)
and Matt Plog (Plog, of Comics to Screen club) are
each doing a pinup for the Klyde & Meriem book.

I'm curious as to what was the first
Charlton
comic each member of this club read. For me it
was
an old, beat-up copy of Gunfighters #69
(1981)
which I bought back in 1991 or 92, maybe.
I still
have it, BTW...

I'm not really sure, but I bet it was a Ghost
Manor, Haunted, Ghostly Haunts or something along that
line. I do remember some Fighting Army & Fighting
Marines comics also. Dunno. I know that I also saw Space
Adventures #9 (reprinting Captain Atom) too. Whatever it
was, it happened in the early to mid-'70s.
Wait--I
remember now! It was Speedbuggy #3!!

In the mid-70s my parents first began to buy me
comics, probably right after I started kindergarten ..
and the earliest ones I remember are Charlton's Yang
(#4 I've recently discovered), Fightin Army (#91),
and Hercules (I beleive #3), an issue of Atlas'
Phoenix, and several Weird Tales. Can you believe it, it
really wasn't either of the Big 2 that got me reading
comics! (Although I did quickly graduate to Marvel's Star
Wars .. ahh the sins of youth!) -- Joe

distinctively...I must confess to some doubt re: KFS's claims of "
BG/SS " being in " over 900 " newspapers , today ,
which I ran into some years back...MAYBE it's in a lot
of small-town/Southern newspapers ! The...AP?...obit
I used as my source
and Harvey's piece differed
a touch re: the question of how much Lasswell
contributed to the creationn of Snuffy and his world , with
Harvey aruging "...surely ( Laswee . ) did..." .

I remember well my Grandmother giving me a
handfull of Charlton comics when I was a little fellow.
Where she got them, I'll never know as I was the only
one in the family who fooled with them. But there as
an issue of Blue Beetle (Dan Garrett), Judomaster,
and Thunderbolt. But the first Charlton comic I
remember getting myself was Hercules #4. The Sam Glanzman
artwork and the mythological story really did it for me.
I ended up getting all of the rest of that series
and have yet to find a copy of #3. I have the story
in reprint, but I have never seen a copy of it
otherwise.
Kaji Dha!
Dean
P.S. I still have all of
these comics by the way. They are read to death and I
have since replaced them with better copies, but they
are touchstones to a sometimes more pleasant time.

My first Charleton Comic was the Six Million
Dollar Man magazine. It was a BW book, and I think at
the time they were doing one for EMergency. I got
when I was a kid visiting my grandma in the hospital,
and my mother bought it for me to keep my occupied.
My first Charleton superhero comic was, well really
a set, cause I owned a comic book store in the 80's
and after reading Steve Ditko's Avenging World and
Mr. A, I sought out all the Question apperences. So,
I grabbed Blue Beelte 1-6 out of the back issue
bin, then grabbed all the Captain Atom, for all the
Blue Beetle apperances. I just loved the in house ad
for the superhero line (maybe I'll scan it and post
it) Charleton Superheroes: They're not half-bad! At a
time when Marvel was kicking ass and taking names, it
really struck me as funny someone would say
that...

My mother never believed all that business about
comics and juvenile delenquiency from Fredric Wertham
(her favorites were Captain Marvel, followed by Wonder
Woman), so she bought us comics as soon as we could read
more than "see Spot run". My first Charlton comic was
probably an issue of Blue Beetle. I can remember getting
the reprint of the first few Captain Atom stories and
thinking "this is the guy who draws Spider-Man".
Who
drew those Dan Garrett issues of Blue Beetle, anyway?

The artists on the Dan Garrett Blue Beetle were
Bill Fracchio and Tony Tallarico. I just love their
wide open style on these issues, but they are widely
held in disdain for the work at Charlton. My online
name comes from those great Son of Vulcan comics the
same team did at about the same time.
From
what I've gathered Tony Tallarico was a close friend
(maybe a family member) of Dick Giordano's and the two
often worked on projects together, though not
necessarily on the same individual books.
I'm right
now in the midst of writing up my first fan fiction
and it features the Dan Garrett Blue Beetle. This is
a character who has gotten way too little
attention. I think I have some interesting modern
reinterpretations of some of the series details. I have the plot in
my head for the most part, and I am noodling the
details right now.

Charlton had the best house ads of any comic
company I have ever seen. The excitement I still feel
looking at some of those layouts is tremendous. The many
covers I would see only much later as an adult have
thrilled me for years. As is often the case the story
inside doesn't always live up to the great covers, but
so it goes.
The understatement of the
Giordano regime was a refreshing break from the Stan Lee
hucksterism (which I loved by the way in its own wacky way)
and the stolid style of DC. So many letters comment
on the very fact that Charlton would even
acknowledge the existence of competition leave alone
compliment them from time to time.
I would love to
have a scan of some of the house ads here. Feel free
to indulge yourself.

I can't even remember what my first Charlton
comic was because I read comics from the earliest age,
and any Charlton comic would have been just another
among many. I feel sure that the first one I read would
have been funny animal, though---I remember reading
Atomic Mouse and Timmy, the Timid Ghost, and how these
comics just looked different from the Walt Disney and
Warner Brothers stuff. There was also a comic I
especially liked in the middle of my dinosaur-mania days,
"Hunk", a humor book about a cave boy and his dinosaur. A
little later, about 1957-9, I went through a period when
I loved the racing comics that Charlton put out,
and I have a clear memory of trying to repeat the
stories with my toy racing cars on the living room
floor.
I must have read the supernatural books at about
that time too, because I remember being thrilled with
the first Captain Atom story...and I remember being
really puzzled because the ultra-condensed story had
very little explanation to it. A lot was left unsaid
in the early stories, such as what his powers really
were, and as a child that confused me and yet made the
character intriguing. I remember really hating The Blue
Beetle at that timne, as well. (Sorry, BB fans---I was
just old enough to be highly critical of the
art!).
I contniued to read most Charlton comics through
the sixties, though I missed a lot of the westerns
and humor books as my tastes narrowed to sf, mystery
and super hero stories. Also, in my areaq, the
distribution for Charlton was really poor. I would find most
of my Charlton comics in drugstroe rack when my
parents forced me to accompany them on "week end drives"
to small towns in the country. In addition, Charlton
changed the titles and numbers around so much that to
this day, I don't know how many issues of most titles
were actually printed. For example, the first time I
read a Gunmaster and Bulletboy comic, I thought there
had truly been 60 previous issues or so, since that
was the number on the cover! What a strange company
that place was!

I remember Son of Vulcan, too. I read everything
from Captain Atom to Sarge Steel (detective and spy),
to Peacemaker, to The Fightin' 5, to Thunderbolt
(loved Pete Morisi's clean, easy style of art), to The
Shape. I don't have but a couple of Charltons in my
collection; most were long gone before I convinced my mother
that comics needed to be read then passed on. In the
last few years, I've concentrated on paperbacks and
such. Maybe I oughtta start looking around...

First Charlton comic I ever read? Very hard to
say, but it was probably either one of their war title
or one of their sci-fi/mild horror comics. I was
probably aware of Charlton by 1956 or so, in that I could
spot a Charlton by the poor trimming of the interior
pages and the fact that the printing on the covers
didn't look quite professional. Early on, I considered
all Charltons bottom of the barrel comics and
wouldn't buy one unless there was absolutely nothing else
I hadn't read. The first Charlton character I
actually looked forward to reading was Gunmaster, and by
then I had developed a bit more respect for their
sci-fi/mild horror book, p because Steve Ditko was doing
quite a bit of work for Charlton by then (circa
'58/'59); I didn't know Ditko's name but his art didn't
look like anyone else's, and I found it
fascinating.
The way I remember it,
Jon

good-sized allowance when I was 10-11 . and my comic-buying
really went up then . I never bought an Action
Hero-period one off the stands . Can't say I really remember
seeing 'em , even ! - What was with those 'toon titles ,
anyway ? Apparently , Hanna-Barbera'd seen it fit to
leave Western/GK , which'd had purty much ALL major
animation properties for about a decade...( While KFS

after King's own mid-60s U.S. company had fizzled ?
)...But , obviously , H.B. , apparently , rather
regretted their decision !

One of my Grandmothers always had a pile of
comics at her house so I wouldn't be bored while I was
there. A couple of them were those Reprinted Space
Adventures issues from the 70s with Captain Atom. The one I
distinctly remember was the one were Captain Atom took the
sick boy into space and cured him. This story was
actually touched upon in CA's DC series during the 80s.

I have to admit that I hated the Charlton humor
line after I reached a certain (young) age. They just
didn't seem funny even tho I read the humor books of
other companies. I suppose everyone has compalints
about some aspects of Charlton's efforts. The Dell
books that later were published by Charl;ton like
Beetle Bailey, Popeye, and Blondie seemed funny when
Dell did them, but not when Charlton did them. Just me
I suppose.

Going only by my memory, I think that was a story in the first Captain Atom comic, too. It was a long time ago but I recall that as one of the first CA stories I read.

I didn't know DC had followed that story up. I
may have to do a little search for it. That story
stands out in my memory too. There is something about
the way Ditko drew the sheer pleasure on the boy's
face that radiates off the page (as much as the
printing will allow anyway).

I can't wait to see your story on the Silver Age
Dan Garrett, Dean.
I've had a pet theory that
the Silver Age redhead Dan Garrett, the one who was
the Archaeology Professor, was actually the grown-up
Sparkington J. Northrup, short-lived sidekick to the original
Blue Beetle (also named Dan Garrett, who was a cop and
had black/brown hair), and changed his name in honor
of his mentor. (Wouldn't you if your parents had
named you "Sparkington"?!?) Sparky was shown to have
blonde-hair, but could easily have turned strawberry-blonde
like the Dan Garrett of the Silver Age showed it to
have.
BTW, I've seen the Americomics story which states that
the Golden Age Dan Garrett and the Silver Age Dan
Garrett were the same person, but I don't buy that -- I
also don't buy that he was turned into the Blue Beetle
by cosmic Jack Kirby-esque gods, either. That's one
retcon I'd just as soon ignore completely...

Yeah, what DC did was made it part of Cap's fake
history. all the Charlton books were "fictitious"
background stories to hide the "fact" that Cap was a
murderer.
I quit reading the DC version before they
solved that mystery. Did they ever prove Cap II
innocent?

Don't you really hate it when some fanboy comics
creator thinks it would be a good idea to trash an older
character just because he has no feeling for it? I'm
reminded of the story when Dc brought back Plastic Man as
a drunken out-of-work tragic figure, not to mention
a number of others. This has always bugged me---it
goes beyond isrespect for the characters into a snide
glee at destroying someone else's creative work.

Does anyone have a large number of the Canadian
ACG comics reprinting some of the Charlton stories?
These have appeared for about 4 years. Some of the
titles also have stories from Forbidden Worlds and other
60s ACG comics, though it seems these days they are
reprinting Dick Tracy and Star Hawks strips. Anyway, I just
wanted to know if anyone would want to pool info to
create a checklist of the Charlton and other reprints
that have appeared so far.

Lord knows they should have, but to my knowledge
they did not Walter.
There is a Captain Atom
reprint upcoming in a Brave & Bold 100-page Spectacular
reprint later this spring. I think it is a reprint of
issue #85 of the series featuring a story teaming Cap
with Nightshade.

Simple arrogance! It has to do with thinking
you're smarter than those "hacks" that were working in
comics before. We see it time and time again (and I have
been guilty of it in my own profession I'm afraid)
where the youngsters barge in all full of themselves
and start changing stuff to make it "better". They
eventually learn (if they last long enough) that stuff is
that way for a reason. I'm not saying change isn't
good, but this is generally a baby & bath water
situation when it happens.

I have a few, but the high price combined with
the very uneven quality of the reprints has kept me
away from most of them. I go for certain characters
who are of a special interest to me.
Right off
hand I know that I have the Charlton adaptation of
"Destination Moon" and the collected stories of PAM's "Lobo".
I know I have a couple of others, but they don't
leap to mind.

The second of the Comic Book Artist issues on
Charlton is now available online (or at least a preview
is). The address
is:
http://www.twomorrows.com/comicbookartist/12.html
Available is a look at the great Joe Staton cover in full
color and interviews with Staton, John Byrne, and Roger
Stern.
This wonderful prozine is available on the stands this
coming week according to at least one source I found.
Kaji Dha!

have C. material as back-ups ! I even wrote on this a

Dean,
Since you were so interested in Sue
and Sally Smith, the Flying Charlton Nurses, I
managed to run down a link on them, a new one which
explains why I've been seeing some nurse scans the last
few days. Check out this
URL:
http://www.netwrx1.net/CherryAmes/comics.html
There were more comics with nurses than I ever would
have suspected, including more than a couple from
Charlton.
Take care,
Jon

Thanks for the input. I've avoided most of the
strip reprints of terry, Tracy, Green Berets, etc.,
because I have to cut spending somewhere and have much of
that material already, so I didn't know about the back
ups. I hope that they haven't gone out of business; a
guy working with the wolverton family, hoping to do a
wolverton bio, said that the new ACG is supposed to publish
all of wolverton's work over time (at last!) and I
know they've published a couple issues already. I'd
rather they didn't go under til after completing this
project!
I BELIEVE they are still publishing because Star
Hawks and Tracy seem to be appearing within the last
month or so. I know, as someone posted, the quality
isn't the best, but if it's the only way I can get
copies of The Shadow strip, Charlie Chan, and
Charlton/ACG reprints, I'll take 'em. I wish they'd reprint
50s Charlton stuff--the books that are hard to find
and way over-priced!
Meanwhile, I'm working on
compiling a Charlton "Checklist" which will have two parts,
an alphabetical listing of all the Charlton titles I
can find out about with issue numbers and dates, and
a chronological "timeline" of charlton books (which
seems to be the ONLY way to ever figure out what the
heck they published when!). When done, I hope to have
a guide for people to put their issues in context
with other Charlton issues, and easily show what
people could get to complete their collections. I'll
tell you that I don't think anyone will ever really
make sense of the company's publishing history! Wish
me luck!

Well, i don't know if I'd call Cary Bates a youngster, even back then. Even though I didn't really like Captain Atom's new origin, at least they did find a way to tie the old stories into continuity.

I didn't mind the new version of Cap; I just
considered him a totally different character with the same
name as the Charlton version. It's odd that they
pretty much kept The Blue Beetle II and Question the
same, but completely re-vamped Cap. Sure, the science
in the stories was iffy at best, but who cares? I
did mind the demotion of the Charlton stories to
fiction, and would have been happier if they had just
ignored them. After all, that's what they did in the
50s-60s with the Golden Age Flash, Green Lantern,
Hawkman, and Atom.
Somewere I may still have an issue
of Worlds Finest with a team-up between Superman,
Firestorm, and the Charlton Captain Atom.

If you mean my comment, W., I was just saying
that I hate it when current creators take someone
else's character and use it in a disrespectful,
destructive way, and that B&B story was one example that came
to mind. Back then, of course, Haney WAS a
"youngster" compared to the Golden Age artists and writers (I
think--but I'm no expert on Haney) and obviously had little
affection for the character, don't you think? But there are
a lot of other examples, like the series a couple
years back which took a perfectly good character like
Dell's "Turok" and gave him machine guns to make him
"Dinosaur Hunter". I'm not even real "heated up" about it,
I'm just saying it's a shame that they want to use a
good character in a poor manner that entertains
neither old readers not newer readers. Better to just let
the character lay in the past, I think. It would be
like trying to make Little Orphan Annie a punk rocker,
or Captain America a skinhead, or something. It just
bugs me because I think I know the psychology behind
it, and the intention is not admirable.

I tend to cut Haney some slack on these kinds of
continuity miscues, because back then such things weren't so
important to everyone as they have become. In fact being a
new fan to DC at the height of Haney's writing I
rarely picked up on the continuity errors.
Less
forgivable are mistakes made in the current market where
continuity has become a well understood staple of the comics
experience.
While I personally had little problem with the Turok
changes I take your point perfectly that often such
changes aren't made consisitent with the intent of the
original characterizations.

Some characters are not meant to be updated. DC
is supposed to have done that with some of their
'50s SF characters, like Space Cabbie and Star
Hawkins. I never saw it, and haven't heard about it since.
It's as was said: they didn't attract old readers,
didn't attract new readers, and the update failed. This
gives those who never saw the original characters the
idea that they were trash, and not worth reading
anyway. A lot of the original run of Captain Atom stories
were fantasy. Okay, the hero could shoot atomic
fireballs, but don't you think that Dr. Strange could do
that if he REALLY wanted to? The story about Cap and
the kid involved flying unprotectd through space,
multiple light years away, and bathing in the light of a
star with healing properities. Offhand, I'd say the
science in the story took second place to the story
itself (FTL travel is SUPPOSED to be scientifically
impossible, but most SF writers will allow warp drive for the
sake of a story).
One other thing I remember about
DC's recap was that they criticised the stories for
having flaws in the logic of each tale. For Early Silver
Age pseudo-science, they were good STORIES. I mean,
we are dealing with a genre were bouncing bullets
off your chest or firing energy beans from your hands
or eyes are commonplace.

Yeah--I subscribe too it, and I also help stuff
the envelopes full of magazines to be sent out. I
don't help with CBA though--there's so many
subscribers, that that is done at a seperate warehouse. 6
other guys,and my wife and I, get together at John
Morrow's house and stuff, label, and get the mailbags
ready to be sent.
Sometimes the books will be
late. This is an unfortunate thing, but please
understand that the majority of the TwoMorrow's publications
are assembled by just a hand full of people.
Twomorrows isn't a big company mag publisher like Wizard or
others, most of it is assembled at his house, and many
people, like myself, are volunteers. I get paid in pizza
and good conversation. I can promise you this,
TwoMorrow's mags will always have REAL content and great
artwork! The Kirby Collector (running late, but due out
soon) will be treasury size!

Hey, Loston - thanks for the info. I am now
intensely jealous of you .. getting to be firsthand in CBAs
assembly and distribution. But I suppose I'd have to give
up West Coast living for that. :) HAH :) I'm just
ecstatic to think it will be in my hot little hands. Now
if only John Morrow could get ahold of that Ditko
Charlton Horror piece that was supposed to run in the
perhaps never to be seen Comic Book Marketplace .. all
would be perfect. Perfect perfect perfect! -- Joe

This is mostly for Don, but whomever else is
interested as well. When I was at my comic store this
weekend .. they have three copies of the Magnus CBM#83. I
won't make it in on Wednesday I don't think .. probably
not until Saturday, but if anyone wants one, drop me
a line and let me know and I'll pick it on up. --

I guess you'd really be jealous if I told you
that I get all the TwoMorrow magazines and specials
for free, eh? It's true. Whenever possible though, I
try to buy a few from the local stores, because
TwoMorrows publishing needs more sales. Due to the
infrequency and small size of the company, not all that many
books get printed. Every copy you guys buy helps to
keep the following months books make it to the
shelves! If you read Kirby Collector, Comic Book Artist,
Alter Ego, Comicology, or any TwoMorrow publication,
please turn a friend or two on to them. If circulation
of the mags increase, you can be guaranteed more
quality, faster turnaround time, and better books. More $$
means more staff & more books!

I noticed the latest issue of CBA wasn't on my
dealer's list of available magazines this week. I don't
get especially irritated when small publications like
the stuff from Twomorrows is late as I know they live
pretty close to the bone. But it's when the big guys
like Marvel can't keep a schedule that I start to get
torqued off. Being a product of the 70's I have had a
full dose of the "Dreaded Deadline Doom".
Stay
on top of things for us Loston and keep fighting the
good fight.

It was actually in an issue of SECRET ORIGINS,
not the regular series. It was a number around the
mid-30s or so, and his origin was paired in the comic
with other members of the Justice League
International, such as Rocket Red.

Just read it again. Man what a crock. I had
apparently forgotten just how much of Charlton's history had
been wiped clean with that story. The Alan Weiss
artwork was great, but the net result was a character far
less interesting than he might otherwise have
been.
Ah well!

Yeah, unfortunately, that story created the exact
OPPOSITE effect it was intended to have. In fact, it
caused the reader to realize just how much charm and
interest had been LOST in this grimmer, grittier, more
so-called "realistic" approach of the Post-Crisis era. I'd
picked up reprints of those early Captain Atom stories,
and had read them before the new Captain Atom series
came out, and found them utterly charming and
interesting. Just as I found the early Legion of Super-Heroes
stories by Edmond Hamilton, Otto Binder, and Jerry
Siegel, with art by John Forte to be, in a way no modern
Legion has ever managed to pull off (and I fear they
never will again).
I know they intended this
story to be a nod to the past era, but ultimately it
showed just how GRIM and CYNICAL modern comics had
become in contrast to that earlier period.

I've recently read that the Gold Key Comics
artist "Jesse Santos" illustrated for Charlton in 1974
and 1975. In the "Who's Who in Comics" book, it lists
him illustrating Mystery titles for Charlton. Does
anybody know what specific issues that he done? Also at
Don Glut's website www.donaldfglut.com he lists that
he wrote for several "Ghosts" titles in which he
lists. But he does not list the issues. Does anybody
know which issues he wrote for? Does anybody have any
issues of any Charlton comics that list Jesse Santos or
Don Glut as being the artist or writer? Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks-

I frankly don't know. Given the timeframe of the
mid-70's there is a better than average chance that the
work will be credited so getting the data should be
possible, at least for the artist. Writers are always a bit
more difficult to track down.
Have you tried
the Grand Comics Database?
Good luck!

Funny you should ask right now! I don't have
specific answers to your questions---but just five days
ago I bought some late Charltons for a buck a piece
and one story was illustrated by an artist signing
his name "A. Alias" (!), and I was thinking it looked
just like Santos! Who I never knew drew for Charlton,
tho if he did I would have seen the stories but it
never made an impact. I loved Santos' work with Dagar,
Tragg, etc.
Sorry I can't be more help though.

In my efforts to come up with a definitive
checklist of Charlton comics, I have found that there were
over 250 individual titles! However--many of those
titles apeared only once or twice, most for only a few
issues! What a mess, though, in that Charlton had the
weirdest numbering and titling system ever. I'm being
generous in implying they had any system at all
anyway!
In an attempt to clarify things even further, if
only for myself, I'm compiling a chronological list of
titles as they appeared and disappeared. You know what?
Even THAT doesn't seem to be much help!
Two
observations that might be interesting here:
1) Charlton
went through a huge spurt in the number of titles in
1955, probably in part due to the purchase of Fawcett
and other companies' properties following the
DC-Fawcett lawsuit and the intro of the comics code (forcing
many publishers to quit and opening up newstands to
"code-approved" comics).
2) (And this was new to me) Charlton
actually had a sort of a boomlet in the 1983-85 period,
reprinting quite a few of their comics from the 60s. I
didn't know this at the time (or rather, I simply didn't
see it) becuase I was personally going through
difficult days and wasn't paying much attention to comics.
Also, Charlton was never a favorite among comic store
owners and by 1980, in my area, the regular racks had
disappeared from the Mom and Pop stores and comics were
mostly available at comic book stores. That
is---Charlton comics would be found mostly by dedicated
searches and not usually by casual visits to comics
shops.
Anyway, my project marches on...and finally I'm beginning
to see some patterns emerge after thirty years of
wondering how I could miss 80 issues of Gunmaster!

I think trying to make sense of the Charlton
publishing legacy is like trying to come to terms with the
minds of a long lost tribe of cavemen. They just don't
think like we do and attempting to understand creates
all kinds of confusion. The old rules just don't
apply.
If there ever was a company with no sense of its own
history or place in the larger scheme of things, it was
Charlton. They seem to exist purely in the moment. Each
month was a virtual new beginning. Patterns! We don't
need no steenking patterns!
Kaji Dha! (and Good
Luck!)

Probably the worst thing will be trying to figure
out which books continued the numbering of a previous
title. It won't happen, but can you imagine a collecor
50 years from now trying to find Incredible Hulk
#7-#101, and trying to figure out how they printed 96
issues in five years ("The Incredible Hulk; Now Twice A
Month!"). Or imagine trying to find Whiz Comics #1 to
complete your collection. The history of these things are
documented, however.
Charlton's system probably did make
sense to them. I've wondered, though: what if an title
was discontinued with issue 33, but issues 34 and 35
were already "in the works". Then, a replacement title
is issued to take advantage of the mailing permit,
and, although it takes the place of issue 34, instead
it is number 36.
I know I saw Gunmaster, but
I just can't remember him.

"2) (And this was new to me) Charlton actually

This "boomlet" that you refer to above was the Modern
Comics issues. I don't believe these were even published
by Charlton. As I remember it, they were kind of
like the Whitman reprints that came out at about the
same time in that they were also distributed in "3
packs".

Thanks "Sonofvulcan" and "Chasmithalpha" for your
replies. Would you happen to know the issue and # of the "
A. Alias " title? It is listed in Jerry Bails' book
that he illustrated some comics (ones that were not
for Gold Key ) under the pen name of "Jesse" without
his last name. It is listed that he did indeed work
for Charlton in 1974-1975.
I was hoping somebody
might have run across a title or two that I could track
down. He was the storyboard artist on the "Phantom
2040" animated series. I didn't know that until
recently. Anyways, if anyone knows of any issue that lists
Santos as artist or Don Glut as writer , please list it!
Thanks-

Hey, Chas - You may try and pick up the Charlton
Spotlight that came out a few months ago .. in it there was
a complete alphabetical listing of all Charlton
titles. It was a work in progress, and I don't remember
whther it gave you the antecedent and descendants of any
given title, but it did give the length of all given
runs. I don't have the issue in front of me or I'd give
you the address. It was out of Texas and was a Pat
Boyette issue. Pretty cool mag all in all. -- Joe

This "boomlet" that you refer to above was the
Modern Comics issues.
--------------
Charlton was
also reprinting some of its titles as well ... notable
Tales of the Mysterious Traveler. Re-colored no less in
those bright bright colors. But on the whole, I would
agree that the time frame 83-85 is Modern Reprints. The
Mysterious Traveler is from 85, along with some of the other
relaunches .. i.e. Charlton Action starring Static. -- Joe

...While there may very well have been pre-bagged
Modern-logo reprinte in '83-'85 , there WERE single copy
Charltons during this period , even as late as ( Cover date
, anyway . ) '86 , MAYBE even '87 . I never saw any
Moderns , but ( As I've written here B4 ! ) I DID see
Charltons around '86-ish...Thet may very well have all been
reprints ( Some of the Ditkos , apparently , being
color-added reprints of his indie stuff ! ) , and , I really
HAVE chatted this up all pyrty recently...But , I
recently found out that C. , frinstance , made a stab at

To add to the mystery, some titles arbitrarily
missed a number in the middle of a run, a couple had
duplicated numbers, one title actually had an earlier number
printed much later than a later number...it is truly
madness.
I don't have my notes right here, but Gunmaster
became Judomaster. Gunmaster and Bulletboy was a
straight (although "costumed") western comic. He wore a
white suit and mask...which is about all I can
remember.

Nope. The Modern reprints (which I am also trying
to list) were reprints of entire individual issues
in the 1977-78 period. This was obviously a simple
marketing opportunity to place these comics in major stores
like Wal Mart, I believe. Although--like much else
about Charlton, it's hard for an outsider NOW to figure
out exactly what Charlton was thinking THEN! In the
early eighties, the reprints have no Modern logo so I
assume it was a last gasp attempt to enter the market
again, perhaps to take advantage of the newly
established direct market system selling to comics
stores.
By the way, the Modern comics reprints seem to have
had no reason in the selection process; they seem to
just have put out random titles and issues with no
plan in mind to select the best stories, key issues,
or major titles. As always with Charlton, you end up
muttering "go figure".
Of course, that's why we love
this frustrating, bewildering, endlessly confusing
little company, ain't it?

Thanks! I didn't know it was available!
(Great--more to search for!!) By the way, ever see the black
and white book of Ditko/Joe Gill Konga stories titled
"The Lonely One"? I just found a copy a few months
ago. As I recall, it was printed in the mid-90s (I
don't have it right here). It was a pretty nice
book...as are the Steve Ditko "64 Page Packages" that seem
to be coming out from time to time. So many comics,
so little time!

Someone also reprinted some Gorgo stories a couple of years back. Beautiful Steve Ditko art in black and white... Probably done around the same time as the Konga reprint (but I missed that one).

The latest issue of Comic Book Artist by
Twomorrows Publications is on the stands and as promised it
features a whopping batch of Charlton features. The focus
is on the 70's this time with lots of other things
thrown in. The material on E-Man is tremendous. A brand
new two-page E-Man story featuring the lovely Nova.
If you think you knew all about Charlton's superhero
offerings you don't. There are character designs for a hero
invented by Nick Cuti and designed by Don Newton which
never got to print. Well worth taking a peek.
As
is usual with these great issues I have only just
begun to plumb its depths. More as I find
it.
Kaji Dha!

I have to second Dean's recommendation. All I did
last night was go through the issue and admire the
art. Plan on spending quality time at work not working
today .. reading about Charlton instead. And for my
bet, even though some of the illos are duplicated ..
the Tom Sutton art just looks awesome! I love those

I'm still in the process of reading the issue,
but I absolutely love hearing about Charlton's past!
Joe Staton's stuff is incredible--he hasn't lost a
step! Don Newton article, I'm saving for last--Newton
is one of my all time favorites.
I'm pleased to
see that there is going to be a Warren Comics special
coming out from TwoMorrow's this summer (see ad on page
109)!
Should be getting together with John Morrow
next week to help stuff Kirby Collector subscription
envelopes with the new treasure-sized mags--will ask about
the possibilities for a Charlton ROUND 3
issue.
Take care,
Loston
PS: Staton's cover has
given me some ideas for the club picture! Can't wait to
officially start it!

I'm hopeful they will combine the two Charlton
issues (with the addition of some new stuff of course)
and come out with a nice squareback volume for my
bookshelf. I would buy that in a split second.
Now I
am anxious to see the Atlas-Seaboard and Tower stuff
they have.

I found an irresistable bit of Charlton material
the other day. I'm not sure what the number of the
comic is, but the indicia says "45" while the sticker
on the sleeve says "5" but this issue of Jon
D'Agostino's "Timmy the Timid Ghost" fairly jumped at me. It
features the title character (a Casper wannabe if there
ever was one) sitting under a tree reading a comic and
getting frightened. Now it's not just any comic, it's an
issue of "Ghostly Tales" and appears to be a small
scale reproduction of an actual cover of that magazine.
I don't have the particular issue and the
reproduction is too small for me to make out a number but it's
a beauty. I assume it is an issue not too far
removed in time from this 1966 comic.
Does anyone
know the details on this oddity? I would love to know.
I haven't yet gotten around to reading the actual
comic but I will soon.
Kaji Dha!

I'm just slow! Sorry.
This Charlton comic I
recently was able to find in a back issue box which has
art I believe (strongly) was by Jesse Santos is as
follows: Space War, Vol 2 #29 May 1978. The story is
titled "The Underground War" and could very well have
been written by don Glut, by the way---it is a future
mood piece quite unlike anythinjg Joe Gill would have
written. The art is signed "a. alias" and describes a
future after WWIII when underground dwellers are hunted
by soldiers, and ends with the upper dwellers making
peace with the underground dwellers.
FYI: The cover
illustrates a story by Ditko called "The Enchanted Planet"
(cover art also by Ditko) and appears to date from c.
1960, his best period in my opinion. The cover and
story are very nice indeed. The final story ("The
Deadly Cargo of Spaceship 90) also appears to be from
the same period or slightly earlier, or perhaps
merely has a different inker than Ditko himself.
I
hope this is of interest. Meanwhile, at a recent book
store sale I got a dozen or so further issues from
about the same time (1978-84) for only 50 cents each!
(Just had to tell someone). I"ll keep an eye open for
any art/writer surprises I can discover. Perhaps I'll
try to scan some of my favorite art from Charlton and
post here.

It's called "Charlton Spotlight" and it's from
Argo press. The address is:
Argo
Press
P.O.Box 4201
Austin, TX
78765-4201
The cover
price is $6.95. The guy behind it is Michael
Ambrose.
The issue is dedicated to the late Pat Boyette but
there is also a Charlton Checklist which is very handy.
Seems someone here was compiling one and this should be
a big help.

Many thanks for the title and issue number of the
possible Jesse Santos Charlton comic! I look forward to
tracking it down.
I want to say that I bought a
copy of the new "Charlton Spotlight" fanzine. I was
very pleased with it! I thought that Michael Ambrose
did a excellent job in producing it. Thank you Mr.
Ambrose!
Speaking of Charlton fanzines, can anybody tell me about
the 1960's-1970's (?) Charlton comics fanzine called
"Charlton Portfolio"? I was wondering how many issues of it
exist and maybe some details about it. According to the
Overstreet price guide, one issue of it has a unreleased
"Blue Beetle" Ditko story?
I also want to pass
along some information that might be helpful to
somebody. Tony Talarico illustrated "Curse of the Vampire"
for "Many Ghosts of Dr. Graves" issue #44, under the
pseudonym of "Tony Williamsune". He also used this pen name
for several stories he illustrated for various Warren
Publications, such as , "Vampirella" and "Creepy". He also uses
these pen names as well, "Alfred Payne" and "Ibis". In
"Haunted" #19, the story called "The Unholy" was
illustrated by Peter A. Morisi under the pen name of "PAM". I
have a few others wrote down somewhere if anybody is
interested in this sort of stuff-

Tony Tallarico is becoming one of my favorites
Doctor Spektor. Thanks for the tip on the pseudonyms.
The "Charlton Bullseye" is a fine little publication.
It features scuds of fine poster art (much of which
has been reprinted in the two Twomorrows Charlton
issues) and some good articles on the state of Charlton
and its history. The cover is by Don Newton and it
too is reproduced in the current Comic Book
Artist.
I would have to look to be sure, but I think you
are right that there is a Blue Beetle story in there
also.

I found an embarrassment of riches in my
collection yesterday. While organizing some books I found
that much to my surprise I had all four issues of
Gunmaster and Bullet Boy (#1-4). While I still don't have
all the issues numbered from #84-89 (this is the
series that eventually gave way to Judomaster)I have
several. I also have a couple of issues of "Six-Gun
Heroes" featuring the pair. Does anyone know how many
issues of this comic featured Gunmaster
stories?
I had long had a single issue of Gunmaster
featuring PAM art and thought he was a Morisi creation, but
now I realize different. I have issues by Tallarico &
Fracchio and Montes & Bache.
There seem to be other
artists involved too, but I'm not sure. I do know that
most of the ones not done by PAM feature beautiful
Dick Giordano covers.
Any other Gunmaster fans
out there? I am planning to read through the series
soon. I'm sure there are other pleasant surprises
waiting for me.

Dean,
I asked John Morrow about the
possibility of a collected Charlton graphic novel-style
edition, and he said, that he hadn't really considered
doing one, but that he'd think about it.
Btw,
after helping stuff subscription envelopes with the new
treasury-sized Kirby Collector, I had a chance to view some
Jerry Ordway original art! A painting that will serve
as the cover for the Collected Fawcett book
TwoMorrows is releasing--BEAUTIFUL PAINTING! I also got to
see some Dick Gioradano JSA artwork that will serve
as some sort of cover somewhere down the line (also
very nice!).
For any Warren fans on the board,
TwoMorrows is releasing a 288 page collected edition of
Warren materials, repriting CBA articles with a ton of
new articles and artwork added! It looks to be 'the
one to get'! It is due out in June or
July.

Sonofvulcan, I think you probably know who this
is. Well, you should know who this is anyway, seeing
as how I'm your daughter!! I was bored so I thought
that I would check out your club and see what exactly
you do on the internet at 3:30 in the morning. And, I
also want to know what kaji dha means. I've never
heard you say that before!! Talk to you later.

Has Alex Ross ever done anything with any or all of the Charlton Comics characters? It seems to me that this would be an obvious poster project for him, considering his love of classic characters.

Well howdy Gingerbread. As for the mystery of
"Kaji Dha" you will have to wait and inquire of me
later for that most powerful of all ancient secrets.
(It's some dumb comic book thing actually.)

you later.

Outside of the few glimpses we get of the heroes
in "Kingdom Come" I am not at all aware of Ross
having turned his hand to the heroes. I imagine all of
them are in that giant poster for "Crisis on Ifinite
Earths" too. I agree he could do wonders with the Action
Heroes. The realism they already to some degree have
would be very much enhanced.

I have heard almost no reactions to the recently
released Comic Book Artist issue featuring the 70's at
Charlton. The issue was full of neat interviews (the best
one is with George Wildman though Nick Cuti's is good
too). Among the things I learned was that "Cuti" is
pronounced like "putty" and not "cootie".
We learned
once and for all that Charlton printed so many damn
comics because it was cheaper to print them than to shut
off the machines. Gives a whole new meaning to the
term "filler".
What do you all
think?
Kaji Dha!

I don't think he has the rights to the
characters. I think they may be in with that whole batch of
lesser known characters who went to the Richard
Broughton guy who runs ACG Comics. Seems like I've seen
some reprints of the Vengeance Squad stories tucked
into some of those books. I could well be wrong on
that though.
There is a great deal on who
bought which characters in the CBA issue, but the thing
is so confused that the editors made no effort to
distinguish on the particular illustrations that dot the
magazine.

Well, willy, I'd answer your question but I'm a
little young for Frankie Avalon. Yes, I know who he is
(who hasn't seen Beach Blanket Bingo) but I don't
really understand why "gingerbread" would make me
concious of Frankie Avalon. As for where I got the
nickname, it was given to me by mother when I was little
and I decided to use it as my e-mail.

...It was just a jokey-poo , & not particularly ained at you , though I could see that it could be interpreted as such . " Gingerbread " was one of his hit records - " De De Dinah " was another .

Thanks for clearing that up. I knew it was a joke
and took it as such, though if that didn't come
across I do apologize. I didn't realize that
"Gingerbread" was a Frankie Avalon hit. You learn new things
everyday!

I heard that the Charlton Tarzan series called
"Jungle Tales of Tarzan" from the early sixties was
illegally released by Charlton. Something to do with the
fact that it was not sanctioned by Edgar Rice
Burroughs, Inc. ? If this is the case then why did ERB,Inc.
wait until 4 issues had been released to make a
complaint? Does anybody know anything about this? And is
this Tarzan series worth tracking down?

Well, we aren't super close. I help him out by
stuffing his mags. and return, I enjoy his conversation,
the free books I get, and the free pizza he provides.
If you have a beef with him, you can always email
him about it. He welcomes feedback, negative and
positive, and has always responded to my emails, even
before I actually met him. His address is available on
the TwoMorrows website.
Take care all, really
leaving this time--just didn't want to live a club buddy

The series was drawn by Sam Glanzman. Glanzman's
take on the character was not all that unlike the look
Joe Kubert would give to Tarzan a few years later
when DC took on the Tarzan franchise.
I imagine
the reason the folks at ERB didn't react to the comic
at first is that they likely didn't even know about
it. Charltons were nortorious for poor distribution
and while this is pure speculation, the company
probably didn't come up on the Burrough's screen for some
time.
But there is no doubt they did indeed have the comic
stopped when they did learn of it. Charlton may have
assumed the character was in public domain (doubtful) or
they may have just tried to get one past the
system.
I have one issue (#5) and it is a very entertaining
comic.

Which Charlton character has recieved the best
handling from DC Comics and which has recieved the worst
treatment?
Blue Beetle has gotten the best treatment. He is still
recognizably the character Steve Ditko recreated all those
years ago. People may legitimately argue that he has
been mishandled as to personality, but the core of the
character remains.
Peacemaker without a doubt has
gotten the worst handling. The mission of world peace
that was communicated through the original
Gill-Boyette stories has been mocked and the character has
been distorted beyond recognition. Now the guy who is
Peacemaker is a long way from Christopher Smith and the
whole concept has been dilluted.
What do you all
think?

Thanks Dean and Waltsland 1999 for the info on
the Charlton Tarzan series. I'm going to do my best
to track down a issue or two. It will be interesting
to see Charlton's take on Tarzan, because they
obviously didn't have ERB, Inc. telling them what was okay
and what wasn't like Dell and Gold Key did.

You might argue that Son of Vulcan has recieved either the best or the worst treatment, since he apparently has been forgotten about.

I always assumed he came over in the deal that
brought all the Action Heroes to DC, but Walt picked up
on a comment that the rights were a present for Roy
Thomas. So I don't know if they were bought by DC and
retained but Roy was allowed to use the character, or if
he was actually given the rights. I have not heard
him say he has the rights directly so I'm inclined to
doubt the latter.

Dropping the ( I

Was it when they fired Gill and

It seems I should know that, but I don't right
off hand. I'll check the issue of CBA and get back to
you. The extensive interview with Wildman might yield
the answer. The history of the firm available on the
net might get the answer.
I want to say that
it would have been around 1981 or 1982. The last
creative burst was with the four-color Charlton Bullseye,
but this may fall into that "half-life" category you
mention.

Speaking as one of the
folks who had a one-pager accepted by the colour
Charlton Bullseye (though due to that title's
cancellation, it ended up in Scary Tales 37 - the "Pandora"
page), there was certainly no agreement that Charlton
got the rights to the work. In fact, my recollection
is that you got no payment (other than 10 copies of
the issue you appeared in per page accepted) but that
you kept the copyright.
So if Roger Broughton
or anybody else reproduces my sole measly page
(unlikely, I know, with the wealth of other material he has
to choose from...) I am gonna be well
miffed..

I'm going entirely by my memory here so later
info may be more accurate: Charlton stopped soliciting
new material in 1977 (Maybe even 1976, but I really
think it was '77) and later put out the 'Modern Comics"
thing, which was just an attempt to re-package random
comics and sell them to the growing market made of
comics shops and chain stores. Then they stopped
publishing again until the early 80s.
The point is that
by 1977, the company was pretty much a living corpse
as far as comics publishing went. Too bad. By the
mid-70s, the company was publi8shing a lot of exciting
experimental stuff by new people that kept me reading them. I
sincerely believe that had they kept on, they would have
had a good and talented list of regulars who, even if
they mainly went on to work for DC or something, would
have liked also doing stuff for Charlton for the
chance to do stories they believed in. I know at the
time I was hoping they'd revive Gorgo and Reptisaurus
(or equivelant big monster magazines). I wrote
several letters urging that, not knowing that they had no
plans to publish ANYTHING new.

Chasmithalpha, regarding "Modern Comics", could
you tell me if they just reissued Charlton comics or
if they did other comic book companies such as Gold
Key and Dell? I'd also like to know if there is a
site that lists all of the reissued comics they
produced? As I am looking for some of these Modern comics
reissues that the Overstreet has listed as being released
but I've never seen them. It would be nice to confirm
that they actually were released. I don't see very
many Modern Comics where I live- Thanks-

The only Modern Comics I have ever seen have been
Charlton reprints. That doesn't necessarily mean there
aren't others but that's all I have. I collected up
several of those years back as a cheap way of getting
some of those stories. Now that I have most of them in
the original the Modern reprints are nice little
packages in their own right. I'll check what I have as a
way of beginning a confirmed listing of what was out
there.

Mile High comics lists the Modern reprints of
Captain Atom (and Blue Beetle, I think) along with the
regular Charlton editions. I've considered getting a
couple; they're cheaper than the orignal, and sometimes
it's good just to sit and read a good
Ditko-illustrated story.

...I'l get picky-picky-picky here and point out -
to someone considerably older than I ! - that the
comics shop-type market concept of
" soliciting "
was hardly operative at this time .
However , yeah
, around '76-'77 C. , basically , ended , and , as
I said , I recall a contemporary COMIC READER where
someone wrote a " what Charlton did wrong was not put out
enough super-heroes , etc. " letter , to which the CR
writer - Rona Blabbit ? - replied " What a lovely
example of
tunnel vision . C. made
the best try
that they could do..". Actually , with all the "
just-one-more-try"s that Charlton did , the Modern reprints &
reprints? under the Charlton banner , along with this
Bionic Woman title , the " ama-pro " Bullseye concept ,
and this last-ditch '85-'86 attempt , Charlton more
or less stayed in the comics business through early
'86 , really , it seems to me , even if they
would
" no , really , we're gonna STOP - going cold
turkey this time " for a few months here and there
!!!!!!!!! ( Indeed , it occured to me this morning/last
night , and I was going to say here anyway , that , I
guess , the '85-'86 last gasp DID involve some newly
commisioned material , not just reprints - the Ditko
Static
( which was different from that " talking Ayn-fann
ameboae "(sic!) stuff I mentioned , though I believe my
memory is accurate when I recall seeing 'em - I didn't
do drugs
back then !!!!!!!!! ) , and the attempt
at Iron Corporal ( 'Tho I've never seen it , ) ,
were both newly-published stuff , I believe...and they
actually went to the length of an AMAZING HEROES ( and ,
elsewhere , presumably ? ) advertisment for the company
!!!!!!!!! )

I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I
think Charles meant that Charlton had stopped
"soliciting" new material, or ordering newly written and drawn
stories from talent. I don't think he was referring to
the concept of listing new comics for sale. But that
was just the way I read it, I see how you came to
your conclusion.

You got it right. I meant that after 1977,
Charlton was not looking for new material, though I do
believe they had stuff they'd already bought and put on
the shelf.
Regarding Modern Comics, they were
strictly Charlton reprints, just a re-publishing of random
old issues with a new logo slapped on.
I can
personally verify that there were comic book specialty shops
by the mid-70s. I helped friends start one across
the street from my house at the time, which must have
been 1974- or 75. One could still buy comics on the
old wire racks at drugstores and groceries, but those
venues were disappearing quickly. So I can imagine--but
not prove--that comics published in 1977-79 would
have been slated to be distributed via comic book
shops. Indeed, in my area, those were the only shops
carrying Charlton comics, since the regular newstand
distributor ignored that company entirely!

...Though I was never in one 'til the Eighties ,
I'm aware that they were around in th' '70s . However
, the big companies weren't really catering to 'em
'til much later on ( & the whole thing of "
solicitations " , of three-months-hence comics - and printing
an amount based on the pre-orders you receive ,
which is the very basis of the comics shop system -
this whole network of , well , it's down to exactly
one catalogue , Previews ! ) -
I guess Marvel's
making " DAZZLER " #1 , in 1980 , a comics-shop
exclusive , was sort of " the beginning " ? Seen as a test
at the time ?
I guess either Comics and Comix ,
or Phil Sueling , are , Conventional Wisdom-like ,
seen as having the " first " C-shops , 'bout --- '73 ?
'74 ? Guess your buddies were " early adaptors " , as
the tterm goes today !!!!!!!!!

I first began frequenting a comics specialty in
1979 or so. It actually was an old porn store looking
to improve its lot in life by attracting a less
repulsive (barely) kind of customer. When I first went
there (recommended by a fellow comics reader and one of
my professors) I found old oily floors and the
musty, musty odor of decaying paper. The guys behind the
counter were a real pair. One was a corpulent fellow who
played with a pet squirrel while the other was balding
blonde chap with coke bottle glasses. Friendly,
friendly, friendly! I remained loyal to them despite the
untimely death of the squirrel guy and the ultimate sale
of the store and removal to a swankier district of
town (instead of saloons it was surrounded by Greek
food stores).
The direct sale material came
later in response to the development of places like
this in order to give them product to move to their
pickier clientelle. It wasn't long until Pacific,
Eclipse, AC, First, and a host of others came tumbling
onto those stands.
Thanks for the
memories.

Wouldn't it be great to encourage the publisher
of the new ACG comics to start featuring new
"Charlton-like" material and, in a sense, recreate the variety
and "flavor" of the Charlton comics? Actually, I
mention this because I've been thinking of doing just
that. I personally would love to work on strips that
are fresh analogs of The Fightin' Five, Sarge
Steel...heck, even Atomic Mouse and Billy the Kid. I'd do it
cheap, just to be able to something I really
enjoy.
Realistically speaking, I doubt if the guy would consider it
for various reasons...but now that I'm actually
typing my thoughts I'm saying to myself "Hmmmm, I just
wonder if...?"
For all I know, the guy just MIGHT be
willing on taking a chance with a new "Reptisaurus" or
"Nurse Romances", if he could get the raw material to
print.
Is this just a stupid fantasy or what...?

The latest ACG offering I've seen was an issue of
Western material dedicated to Clayton Moore. Now the fact
that not a single Lone Ranger comic story appears
anywhere within this package aside it is a pretty
interesting collection. There is at least one Gunmaster story
and some other masked gunmen. It's a bit pricey for
B&W material but it was an interesting packaging
idea. It got me to pick it up. But I didn't buy
it.
I'd say the chance of getting "new" material is
virtually a nonstarter. ACG seems to be a cut-rate
operation (appropriate enough to be handling Charlton
material) and I don't see even an inkling they want to
handle new stuff.
I agree it would be neat, and
there is a core audience for it. But I don't know how
they could make money. Charlton didn't need to make
money on its comics and so we were blessed for many
years beyond what the market would allow.

...ANOTHER publisher , the same one that put out
the " LAST KISS " stuff , has announced an " ATOMIC
MOUSE " comic . apparently w/some new stuff , and I
have it on order . Didn't I mention this'n ?
I've been wondering what the state of ACG is...they
never seem to have stuff listed , either as " shipping
" , or " scheduled " in those respective CBG
columns , though Previews still lists 'em...I have
several titles of theirs on subscription at my shop , and
have ordered more stuff beyond that , but I ain't
received nuffin' 4 quite a while !
Some months
ago...at a ( NBC-I , actually ! Hoo ha . ) Web adress I
don't really use anymore , I tried to E them to get a
newsletter/whatnot ( As a house ad suggested I do ! ) , and got an E
back to " no web page yet , contact us in the middle
of the month " effect ( To get a mass E'ing then ? )

The Bullseye is one year old today. Doc Quantum
is to be congratulated for starting up this club.
Charlton has gotten rather a lot of attention in the last
year with the birth of at least one fanzine dedicated
to the company (Charlton Spotlight) and two huge
issues of Comic Book Artist dedicated to the Action
Heroes and the 70's revival.
There seems to be a
lot of interest in the venerable Derby company and I
have learned more about the firm in this past year
than in all years previous. Many of the questions that
have nagged me since the company first went defunct
int he late 70's have been largely answered.
I
have enjoyed the conversation here about Charlton and
I think it is safe to say that the comics produced
as an afterthought by the company have made a deeply
personal and lasting impression on the membership here and
on folks elsewhere. Charlton is well
remembered.
I had kind of hoped we might crack 1000 posts
before the anniversary but things have slowed here of
late and we weren't able to do that. No big deal. Slow
and steady has always been the watchword here and
will continue to be so I imagine as long as Yahoo lets
us play around here on the old internet.
Here
is to the next year, may we all prosper and find
that special Charlton comic we've all been looking
for!

Most of you know that Robin Snyder and Steve
Ditko have been publishing books of his work, both from
Charlton in the 60s and from other publications later. The
web page for Robin snyder that displays covers and
gives ordering i9nfo on these books is
http://www.comicsfun.com/thecomics
Of additional interest might be a third page to this
site which offers for sale comics, magazines and
fanzines, mostly in the $2-$5 range, including a good
number of Charlton comics and even some books I never
heard of about various comics/artists. Check the site
out. Most of you will find something of interest, I
think.

Still busy beyond belief. I've been invited to be
a guest at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC. I was also
asked to contribute some artwork for the program book.
It had to be an Avengers theme. So I'm posting it
here as a preview of what the Charlton Bullseye club
picture might look like. I know some of you have already
seen this at other clubs, but for those who
haven't:

patience.

I didn't delete your message. Messages are too hard

I recently purchased a John Byrne original from
one of the Charlton Bullseye magazines with
Doomsday+1 in it. It's a nice, two-thirds splash with
dinosaurs in the larger panel and Boyd and a robot in the
bottom panel. Since I don't have it yet, I'm not sure
who the robot is, nor do I remember what issue of
Bullseye it appeared in. It's a nice piece, from looking
at the picture of it, though. Is Byrne's art from
that period really that tough to get? I loved his
stuff then and had been wanting to get a piece of his
old Charlton stuff and found it on eBay. It didn't
come cheap, though!

(
The source - Yes !!!!!!!!! of this pseudonym ,
'long wit' a certain S. Ditko-originated

And
Criminal-Coddlers...that's in case you didn't guess it !!!!!!!!! ) A recent

issue , which published , as with the modern CEG , "
scheduled to ship/confirmed as shipped "
listings for (
roughly ) that week in 1971 , they left out most of
Charlton's releases . Maggie T. admitted that was the case ,
saying that their information on Charlton from that
period ran rather shallow , endein w/the sentence quoted
above , in inviting input re: what-C.s-shipped-when .
I'm really not in any position to help , anyway ,
so...

realize that people tend to say " Never trust a man with
three names " - It was sort of a " my genre writing
will be as WLL and my - uh , " real " ? - well ,
"
big-time " , anyway , writing would be as a Loydless
piteous wretch - perhaps a vauge
" getting back at my

spelled - came ( NOT for the name . More than you want to
hear hhuuhhhhh ????????? ) , while honoring my father
by having jus' his monicker on my - sniff! - as if I
HAD any yet -
" real " writing ? - Hey , look
what it did for Stanley Martin Leiber !!!!!!! Anyway

Was this Charlton Terry And The Pirates comic
( which I've never read . )
an attempt to
retell the early stories , in a post-WWII , Cold War ,
world ?
( perhaps reflecting a 1950s TV version
of it , which I've never seen . )
Earth-Caniff's Terry Lee met Pat Ryan as a
) knicker-clad )
adolescent , in 1935-esque China , adventured along with him
until approximately 1940 , then , now a late teenager?
, joined the U.S. Army Air Corps , and went through
a little something known as World War II . A
Terry/Pat who met , first , in 1947 could hardly have had
their pre-military adventures in a China that much
resembled 1935 China - a country called Japan , and a man
known
as Mao , had seen to that !!!!!!!!!
Was
this some revisionism ? - or simply a mistake ? Or ,
as I said , WAS this Earth-4 Terry/Pat a post-Dub
Dub first-meeters ?

Since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, I've been
a Jetsons fan. I really was never all that big into
the Flinstones, but I really loved the original
Jetsons cartoons. Recently, I bought 7 Jetsons books on
ebay--one of them was a Charlton issue. Anyone know how
many issues Charlton did?

Yahoo won't let me reply to your question, but I
did read it already and I have an answer for you
Loston. According to the Charlton Checklist in the recent
Michael Ambrose fanzine "Charlton Spotlight" there were
20 issues of The Jetsons produced by the Derby
company. The dates range from 11/70 to 12/73.
Hope
that helps. By the way, I love the Jetsons too. I
always found them far and away more entertaining than
Fred and Barney and the gang.

...I assume that's an " original " , meaning ,
not so much the add'l eps. that H/B prouduced during
the Eighties ? Me too , but it's no overwhelming
deal...Cable around here don't carry Cartoon Network , anyway
, and , I believe the show
( likewise
Flintstones and Scooby-Doo ? )'s an excloosive to Cartoon
Network ( & other Turner cableizers ) now ?
Say , are
there any bootlegs of that Jetsons movie from 1991 with
the original Judy's voice -
not Tiffany's ? At the
time of that Tom & Jerry feature film eithe Bill Hanna
or Joe Barbera were on " LARRY KING " , and I wanted
to ( but , didn't !!!!! ) ask him those + other ?s
.
Was " RUFF 'N' REDDY " a Hanna-Barbera-OWNED show
??????? I don't recall ever seeing it , or , that the
characters ever appeared on
" YOGI'S ARK " ,
etc....those "H/B universe consortium/Crisis " shows !!!!!!!!!

I recently acquired , though ain't read yet ,
though I've scanned it , the year-ish old new RBCC #1 ,
ordered thru PREVIEWS/my store ( I also ordered the new ,
all-ERB #2 , but , it didn't come ! ) . The #1 article is
a look at Ditko's 50s C. horror work , both pre-
and post-Code , presumably complete . There's plenty
of repros
( Though no full stories ! ) , and a
GREAT! re-used cover ( Nice , old , " Weird Tales "
cover on the back , too . ) . Other articles include a
look at EC zines thru th' years , repros of Shadow
pulp mag interior illos , + th' ? of whether a young
Orson Welles wrote & sold pulp fiction
( Briefly:
Probably , but no one's traced it for certain ! ) . At
$9.95 , it's less than many old comics would do you
,
and , there's a lot to read .

I also got the first ACG comics I've gotten in a
while , ( I believe I saw the first " Confirmed Shipped
" report I've seen for them in CBG's
thus-
intended column that I've
seen in a while , as well
!!!!! ) this pre-bagged 2-pack of " THE GREAT DETECTIVE
" #7 and " CLASSIC
TERRY AND THE PIRATES " #5 ,
selling for $5.90 , I believe ( 2 X $2.95 . ) , no
numbers on the cover , just in the incidia . I suppose
ACG may be trying to double up/get as much as they
can from their faithful fans , the two comics have
2000 dates , I dunno if they were delayed for a while
, but , I think so , I believe " Terry " is the
immediate follow-up to the last ish that I posted about
here , lo , these many long postings back here . Maybe
there's some weird financial ( though not ecological
)/the pressing plant charges you less advantage to this
- Plus , they're a Canadian company , and ,
especially with NAFTA...
who knows ?
" GREAT "
reprints a Sherlock Holmes comic strip , by Edith Meiser
and Frank Giacoa ( Did this Meiser do any more comics
? W/all the attention to
women
professionals...) , with a very " Caniffy " look to it , no doubt
th' reason 4 th' pairing . Indeed , the front figures
are , sorta ,
more " Caniffy " than the 1935
Caniffs are ,
sort of !!!!! There's also a...Charlton
?...comic book story , " Two Fisted Fix " , signed
Froilo and Loscia? ( My
notes are a little blurry . )
" TERRY "'s all-Milty , tho. w/more filler than
usual - " only 27 story pages , I suppose to end at a
natural point , and at the end of a week , on the dailys
reprinted . ( Holmes is daily/Sunday . )
I'd still ,
mebbe , recommend buying , if U can afford , obviously
, something from this company...isn't " PREVIEWS "
on-line/aren't there on-line comics-sellers that offer their
stuff/otherwise offer ACG ????? I dunno .

Just a side note of no great imp[ortance. When
the Jetson's movie came out, I heard a radio
interview with the person who was Judy's voice in the tv
series, and she was really miffed at not being chosen to
do the voice for the film. Apparantly she was making
herself available to do interviews for stations across
the country to give vent to her anger. Based on that,
I don't think she did any voice work for the
feature film and therefore there wouldn't be any such
thing as a bootleg copy of the film with her voice. As
I recall, the situation she was angry about was
that she wasn't called on to do any work at all, not
even to try out.
Ahhhhh....Hollywood!

I've become something of a casual fan of this
reprint company over the last couple years so I try to
keep an eye out for their product, and I can say that
these comics almost always come in under the radar of
comics readers and even shop owners. I mention this
becuase the comics they put out seem not to be referred
to in order forms and so on...the retailers seem to
think these books are beneath anyone's notice! That's
why info on what the company puts out is so hard to
get. Further, they don't often in clude "house ads" in
the books so you can't tell what other titles they
offer...and when they have, I think several times books that
ARE mentioned haven't appeared! I find it
confusing.
At this point, I think the currently published books
from ACG are two titles reprinting Dick Tracy,and one
each for "Tales of the Green Beret", "Star Hawks",
"Terry". I think they are still trying to print a lot of
Basil Wolverton work---in a chat room a guy who is in
contact with the Wolverton children in order to write
Wolverton's bio asserted that ACG plans to publish ALL of
Wolverton's work. I keep finding past issues of titles on the
stands too---just a few days ago I got the 2nd issue of
Tarpe Mills' "Miss Fury" #2 which must have been out
about a year but I never saw it.
It's annoying that
info on these books is so hard to find! But
locally--perhaps even because of my questions--some comics
retailers are putting out issues of these books, even back
issues, so personally I'm hopeful that I get to at least
see the titles as they become available.
By the
way, as an addition to my earlier post about Steve
Ditko's work available from the Robin Snyder webpage, I
just saw at a store a copy of "Steve Ditko's Package"
which reprints entirely Ditko's ghost story Charlton
work, about 60 pages worth. I believe it's #2 in a
series that so far is up to #6. (Akas--I didn't get it
inasmuch as I had gone over budget getting a couple things
I was afraid would be gone forever if I didn't buy
them now! So I'll have to wait a while and go back and
pick it up myself. Fortuantely for me, hardly anyone
likes Ditko's work anymore except for Spider Man! So it
should still be there when I get the money!)

I've been watching for stuff from them too. They
printed some really good stuff. They reprinted The Shadow
newspaper strip (which I had gotten from Eternity Comics 10
years ago), Charlie Chan, Nemisis, a couple of war
comics, and a bastard version of "Destination:
Moon".
I have had trouble getting stuff I did order. I
ordered Miss Fury #1, but only got #2. I have ordered
every issue of Star Hawks and Green Berets, but have
only gotten 3 SH and 1 GB. I ordered a Jungle Jim
reprint (with, I believe, Ditko/Wood art), and never saw
it.
Their printing schedule is a little strange too; I
think they use a ouiji board to decide the publication
date.

Back when I first bought Charlton comics,
they
had the CDC emblem on the cover -- probably Charlton
management was hoping to mislead kids into thinking they
were buying DC comics.
My first CDC purchase
was Timmy the Timid Ghost.
Timmy of course was a
Casper ripoff.
I read it at a movie double
feature. One movie may have been The Fly, & because
Twilight Zone gave me nightmares I wasn't supposed to
watch horror movies. So during The Fly, or whichever
horror movie, I sat in the theatre lobby & read my Timmy
the Timid Ghost comic. Occasionally, maybe when I
heard an onscreen scream, I'd peek in & see what was
going on on screen.
The second movie was
probably a western....

I loved the weird stories Ditko did for CDC /
Charlton! One of the weird ones I remember had a man who
found a 5 leaf clover. When he showed it to his wife &
child, they showed him the 7 leaf clovers they had
found.
I still have a 10 cent CDC / Charlton
comic with
a Ditko cover showing a man trapped
inside a light bulb!

The first CDC / Charlton comic I was GIVEN was a
Lash LaRue western -- with double covers! Back in
those olden days finding a comic with double covers was
like finding a four leaf clover.
I wish I still
had that comic. <sigh> But I do still have a
handful of CDC / Charlton westerns.

Later on, I bought & collected most of the
Dick
Giordano edited Action Hero comics.
I had some of
the pre Giordano editorship super hero issues --
various Blue Beetle issues & the
Son of Vulcan run. I
didn't like Blue Beetle or
Son of Vulcan much. I
believe Tony Tallarico did the Son of Vulcan art & some
of Blue Beetle art.
& Tony Tallarico is one of my
most unfavorite Silver Age artists.
But being a
geezer comic fan, I just can't understand why you young
whippersnappers
don't like Jerry Grandinetti! Grandinetti was
great!
But back to Giordano.
I really liked
Giordano's Sarge Steel (& tolerated the issues that Monte &
Bache illustrated). Still have all the Sarge
Steel
issues.
& PAM's (Peter A. Morisi) Thunderbolt
remains
one of my oldtime favorites. Still have all those
(PAM issues) too.
McLaughlin's Judomaster, I
got tired of before the run was over. Wish I had kept
my old issues tho.
I HATED Pat Boyette's
PeaceMaker. (I was anti- Vietnam War.) Most of the time
Boyette's art didn't do much for me, but occasionally
Boyette's art elsewhere has been fantastic.
I forget
who did Children of Doom -- was it Boyette or Aparo.
That was an excellent comic.
& I still have
it.
The Dikto revived Captain Atom was great! Still have
all those. Maybe / probably you young whippersnappers
don't know that writer David Kaler
was past
president of the Academy of Comic Books Arts or whatever it
was called back then. Kaler was a fan turned pro.
Anybody know whatever happened to him?
The Ditko
Blue Beetle was even better! Ditko seemed to making
the effort to make Blue Beetle
Charlton's
SpiderMan!
The Question was OK. As Ditko became more & more
ideological, the Question / Mr. A become less &
less
interesting.
Wish I had bought & kept more of Monte & Bache's
Fightin' Five. That book wasn't half bad.
I did buy
Hercules, but didn't like it that much.
Forgot what the
back feature was in Hercules -- it may have been
good.
Unfortunately, I didn't know about Wander, the back feature in
Billy the Kid, until after its run. I may have an issue
or 2. Aparo started Wander & another artist whose
name escapes me took over the strip when Aparo moved
to DC.

In the 1970s, I was fortunate enough to
catch
Byrne's Doomsday + 1 and Staton's E-Man.
I also
read Warren Sattler's Yang.
& also remember
Sanyo Kim's scratchy / sketchy art for his interesting
panel breakdowns.
I also remember Wayne(?)
Howard's Wally Woodesque art & humorous horror stories.

I'm very sorry Charlton died.
Charlton
was always a 2nd rate comic company --
except when
Giordano was editor of the Action Heroes line.
BUT,
Charlton often published the early works of
big talents
& at various times published innovative features
that other comic companies probably would have
rejected for having too little commercial
potential.
Also, Charlton published art by big names in career
decline & comic business decline -- for instance, Shuster
(career decline), Williamson (EC cutback to Mad), Jack
Davis, and John Severin.
And Charlton also took
over titles & stories from other companies, such as
Fawcette, when such
companies left the comic book
business.
And some of the low profile Charlton stuff
was
still fun, entertaining comics! Charlton did westerns,
war comics, and racing comics, all of which had its
own readership. For a while my brother read the air
force type Charltons.

IN MY OPINION, Charlton had some of the most
unreadable comics on the newstand!
Space War and most
of the Space Adventures run was pretty dreary --
except for the Ditko stuff
& a few other stories.
Nicholas & Alascia turned out some of the worst drek art
(IN MY OPINION) for many of the Charltons.
And
IN MY OPINION Joe Gill turned out some of the worst
hack stories ever.

How could I forget Gorgo & Konga?!
I used
to have the first Gorgo. <sigh>
I had a
few other Gorgos & Kongas. Ditko started both books,
but he didn't do the whole runs, if memory
serves.
I may still have a few. I think I still have the 25
cent giant reprint Charlton put out during
its
Giordano heydays!

Somewhere in the late 1950s to early to mid
1960s, PAM (Peter A. Morisi) did a masked western hero
for Charlton that wasn't bad.
Anybody remember
the character's name? Masked Rider? Blue Mask?
In the 1970s I halfway tried to build a collection.
I have an issue or 2 still I think.

Back in the 1960s, I believe a DC subsidiary
controlled distribution of most comic books -- DC, Marvel,
Charlton, Archie, Gold Key, Dell, Harvey, Tower, etc. Not
sure about Classics Illustrated.
At least this
was the case locally & in my region
of
Va.
Comics came out every Tuesday & Thursday.
I checked
the new comics every Tuesday & Thursday.
Even when
school was out for snow days.
Up to the
mid-1960s, DC had been #1.
Then Marvel came up from
nowhere to #1.
And sales of DC comics started
dropping.
DC comics got silly, bland, and DC management was
stodgy. For example, DC put "go-go checks" on covers in
an attempt to make their comics appear more
'with-it' / groovy.
And with Dick Giordano as editor
of Charlton's Action Hero line, Charlton was
becoming WAY more
popular (at least with super hero
comic fans) than Charlton had ever been
before.
(At that point Charlton did have technical problems
-- horrible printing presses that often left black
splodges on comic pages. Also machine
lettering.)
Anyway, I collected most of the Charlton Action Hero
comics until ... the local / regional distributor quit
distributing them.
To this day I believe that the local
DC-affiliated distributor quit distributing Charlton comics
because DC didn't want the competition.
To keep my
collections going, I had to buy via mail from fans
elsewhere.
A few months later, Charlton dropped its Action
Hero line & the local DC-affiliated distributor
started distributing Charlton comics again.
And of
course, the cream of Charlton's Action Hero line talent
moved to DC -- Dick Giordano, Ditko, Aparo, McLaughlin,
etc.
Best,
Bob Stump

Bear in mind that some of us ain't
whippersnappers, I'll bear in mind that people like art for a lot
of reasons. Why I have a friend of 30+ years who
doesn't like Steve Ditko or Gil Kane art-event though he
grew up reading Spider-Man, Thunder Agents, Captain
Atom, Green Lantern, and The Atom just like me. I am
reminded of a review of one of Frank Frazetta's
collections I read once: the reviewer hated the over-endowed,
heavy-hipped, china-doll-like women, and the slab-muscled,
overly rugged men in the paintings. Those are some of
the things I LIKE about Frazetta art.

I am a big fan of Jerry Grandinetti! He has a
wonderful moody style, which I must confess I didn't
connect with when I was a kid, but love now.
But
you sell Tony Tallarico short Bee Ess. I admit he has
a somewhat tepid character design, but I find his
work has a great sense of motion to it that I find
irresistable.

PAM did a few, but likely you are thinking of
Gunmaster and his faithful sidekick Bullet Boy. They were a
western version of Batman and Robin. The funniest detail
about Bullet Boy was that his "real" name was Tellub.
No one will figure that out.

& I have read Funnyman -- back in the 1970s
when

In my opinion, much of Ditko's work
post-1960s is hackish. Most older comic artists seem to draw
less & less from life, & draw more & more from their
previously developed cartooning shorthand.

I would have to check, but I'm sure PAM did at least one issue of Gunmaster. I have had that one for a long time. As for Tallarico,you're right he did much of the early run.

Ditko's work since the '60s hasn't been as good
as it was before; the same can be said of a lot of
artists. Some of what you term Cartooning shorthand is
probably the realization that in some cases less is more:
you strip the art of non-essentials and it is
improved by it. The danger is that you don't see when less
is less. I started reading comics when I leaned how
to read (around 1961), so I missed a lot of the
stuff before that (except what was reprinted in annuals
and 80-page giants-I miss them). I've seen reprints
of some stories from earlier times, and I
wonder...
Russ Heath's style doesn't seem to have changed
appreciable since the '50s. Is this a good thing or a bad
thing? Gil Kane's style remained recognizable apparently
from the 50's on. In the '60s, it loosened up and
became quite dynamic. It changed little after that. Art
by Joe Kubert, Wally Wood, Curt Swan, Murphy
Anderson, Russ Manning, Alex Toth, even Jack Kirby looked
the same from the late '60s on. Is this stagnation or
is it a case of reaching perfection?
Ditko was
usually his own best inker (the prime exception being
Wally Wood-I just re-read some Thunder Agents with some
stories where they teamed up) and no-one they have teamed
him with lately (lately? 25 years?) seems to be able
to produce same effect as pure Ditko art in its
prime.
I never liked Pat Boyette, but I got used to him. I
never liked Sanho Kim, and never got used to him,
either. Some artists just seemed to flourish on a series,
while others...
I've seen a "Dr. Drew" reprint by
Jerry Grandinetti. I really liked it. The more I
shuffle through old memories the more I begin to believe
I've seen other Grandinetti reprints from the late
'50s-early '60s that were good. Sort of like reading
reprints of early issues of The Avengers and realizing
that once upon a time Don Heck could draw (even though
I originally bought those issues off the rack).
Maybe I'm doing Grandinetti a disservice, but I never
bought Prez because I couldn't stand the thought of
looking at his artwork while trying to read the story.

I'm new to the club, and just wanted to say hey
to everyone.
I also had a question that is
probably obvious to most of you.
On the upperleft
corner of my 1960's Charlton's is the logo on top of a
red field. The letters in the logo are "CDC". Inside
the front cover in the copyright bar, the company is
reffered to Charlton Comics Group. What exactly does "CDC"
stand for then?
Charlton, Derby
Connecticut?
Thanks.

It stands for Capitol Distribution Company, I
believe. And, a former comic magazine editor told me there
is some question as to whether that company actually
was Charlton or another company predating Charlton
(possibly a sister company or a separate distribution
company?). And was the CDC logo in the corner modeled after
Atlas's old logo? There was some question about that,
too, I was told.

As a kid buying CDC
comics (I bought Space Adventures with Captain Atom when
it came out), I figured that the CDC circle logo was
designed to be confused with the DC circle
logo.
DC. CDC.

there is a link that says it has an unpublished cover

Unfortunately the link

Does anyone know where I

could you post it in the "photos" section. I'd really
love to see it.

I'm sorry the link is broken. I don't immediately
know of a place on the net to see this image. I think
the picture may well be in the Comic Book Artist
issue dedicated to the Action Heroes from last summer.
I haven't checked that though.

The first Charlton Bullseye (not this one and not
the one later published as a comic by Charlton
itself) was a fanzine done by the CPL Gang. CPL stood for
Contemporary Pictoral Literature and the core of that little
team were Bob Layton, Roger Stern, John Byrne, and I
belive Duffy Vohland. They did this magazine fanzine
one-shot on their own and were contacted by Charlton to do
it for them regularly as a way of tapping the fan
base. They are filled with fine features and I don't
know where you might get one save at back issue
outlets. They are very much in demand these days. One
place you can see a lot of the artwork and read up on
them is Comic Book Artist. This magazine has done two
Charlton-theme issues in the last year and both feature stuff
from the early Bullseyes. The CPL Gang members are
interviewed in the latest one which came out just this
spring. There are links in our link section to get you to
TwoMorrows Publications which does these fine
magazines.

The Portfolio is indeed the work that impressed
the guys at Charlton to bring the CPL Gang on to do
the regular fanzine.
I haven't heard of
Rosa's name in connection with the Gang. I think Rosa
got his start in my home state of Kentucky in
Louisville with his own independent comics and whatnot. I
well remember some Captain Kentucky comics by Rosa
that I chanced upon back in the 80's well before he
started his Duck work.
But I would have to check
all that to verify it. I am lucky enough to have the
Portfolio, and a few issues of the Bullseye, though sadly I
don't have them all. Whenever I see something like this
I tend to jump all over it. I had no idea of the
Portfolio's significance when I bought it many years ago.

Don Rosa did indeed contribute to the early CPL
Gang publications, as noted in the credits on the
inside front cover of the Charlton Portfolio. He is
listed as a contributor for the checklist near the end
of the issue.

I picked up a strange portfolio piece last year
and do not know from where it came. It is a Captain
Atom piece by Vincent Marchesano and was done in 1971.
It's smaller than a comic, and has Capt. Atom done in
yellow, black and orange (his skin, hands and boots are
orange), and an orange and black background showing a man
working on a nuclear reactor (or so it appears). It's
rather artsy and is a very nice piece. I've never seen
anything like it before, especially from Charlton. The guy
I bought it from said it came from one of the comic
cons of the early 1970s. I bought it with a Frazetta
portfolio piece that he said he also bought from a comic
con, maybe in Detroit. The Capt. Atom piece is awesome
and I'd like to have the rest of the portfolio -- if
there was a portfolio!

I just saw a message about this club at
"www.deepwoods.org" so needless to say I am a Phantom
"phan".
While I have never read ANY Charlton books I always
found the DC versions the action interesting. Well
maybe not really the DC versions...but the concepts and
since I have only read the DC ones.
I first
encountered Blue Beetle in the DC-mini LEGENDS and since then
I have found he to be one of the most interesting
costumed crime fighters around.
Can any one
post/send me some scans of Jim Aparo Phantom art. Aparo has
always been a favorite artist of mine. It would be soooo
neat to see how he did the Ghost Who Walks.
I
think some of you guys should keep your eyes on the
Scandinavian/Australian Phantom book. Quite a few American creators are
to do work there. Writer and former Marvel editor
Ben Raab writes stories and artist Paul Ryan (Flash,
Fantastic Four, and Superman) and Don Perlin (Ghost Rider,
Defenders) will handle the art later this year.
There
is also a creator with a Charlton connection showing
up. But I will not say more.

Sorry I don't know of any locations on the net
featuring Aparo's Phantom (though someone else here might
well) but I can put you onto a great interview with Jim
Aparo which is from Comic Book Artist. The address

...I assume it was my " plug " you saw , I'm
Walter L. I read some of the Swedish material when Wolf
Publishing's British Phantom comic was out , in the early 90s
. Though I knew the Phantom , I'd never
particularly read him ,
until the DC series . I did , at
the time , think that the Swedish material in th Wolf
title had a
little bit " bland " English in the
dialogue/captions , it seemed , as if written to be understood
without much difficulty/for easy translation...Perhaps
I'm overly used to the jokey/wisecracky
dialogue/vernacular that many DC/Marvel comics tend to somewhat use (
how do they translate ? ) , and , of course , I'm a
typically under-educated in non-English languages American
( I've got more of an excuse than most , I might
say ,since my schooling/formal education's been
somewhat lacking ! ) .
That story that was plugged (
at the DW site )
as being in the latest issue of
the Aussie Frew
Phantom comic , a "
non-continuity/
Imaginary Tale " about a " Prodigal Son " , of the Phantom
line , sounds interesting .

The Swedish
produced material do indeed read a bit different form
Marvel & DC stuff. I know that the editor of the Swedish
Phantom stuff does his material with 7-10 year old boys
in mind.... since they are the main audience. They
are trying to keep it simple. During the 90's I lived
mostly in the US and the UK and in so did not read much
Phantom stuff. Then when I was back in Sweden it took me
a few issues to get into the way they are written.
The same goes for French comics. I do not speak that
language but (so I read Swedish or English translations)
and that too took a while to get into.
The
Prodigal son sure was an interesting read. It featured a
story about a Phantom to be, that rebelled against his
father and joined the Sing Brotherhood...and caused his
fathers death.
Now that there is an "American
invasion" in the Swedish/ Australian Phantom comic one can
not stop from comparing it to the "British invasion"
in American comics.
Once one compares them,
the "key" to the current "is English writers better
then Americans" discussion solved.... kind
of...
It would be interesting having some coments from an
American or two that had read a bunch of
Swedish/Austra´lian Phantom comics.
Over the the Charlton
Action Heroes:
Why does not DC do anything with them?
Here is an idea that I have had for a while. Move them
to their "own" City in the DCU called Charlton
City.
Reasons:
A.) People are ALWAYS referring to them as Charlton
heroes.
B.) Giving them their own corner of the DCU would
make them feel more generic. This way one can still
use bad guys like The Joker and still give them a
distance to DC's classic heroes like JLA, The Titans
etc.
Maybe start of with an 5th week event were Charlton
City is established and then start 3 or 4 new books,
and calling this line "Action Heroes". Maybe even
have back-ups starring some of the guys who does not
have their own tittle.
What do you guys
think?
PS-Thanks for the Aparo interview link.

Back in the sixties in my home town the new
comics stores carried everything but Charlton and IW
reprints. These I bought at stores that sold old comics for
a nickel; each(the good ole days!). If DC
controlled distribution I imagine Charlton comics would have
been available on newstands in Middletown.

<
I don't think I ever saw Super / IW reprints on
newstands either. I got a few IWs in 3-for-a-quarter comic
bags & got others in trade. Most but not all of the IW
reprints were pretty lousy.
I got Charlton (and
earlier CDC) comics on newstands.
In the 1960s in
the Hopewell / Petersburg / Richmond VA area, one
company distributed most if not all comics. (I'm not sure
about Classics Illustrated distribution.) I know
firsthand re Hopewell because I checked comics EVERY Tue. &
Thur., the days new comics came out. In later years, I
occasionally checked at Clay Book Store on Hull St. in
Richmond with other local comic fans.
Also,
locally, comic books were distributed with
magazines.
When I started having trouble finding Charlton comics,
I checked in vain at EVERY STORE that carried
comicbooks in town!
I'm pretty sure too that the same
distribution company was affiliated with the company that
bagged unsold comics & sold 'em at 3 per
quarter.
I found the first 6 issues of X-Men in comic
bags!
I don't know if Marvels weren't selling so
well
or if maybe the DC-affiliated distribution co.
didn't distribute the X-Men comics as more dirty
business.
It's a dog-eat-dog world.
Much has been made re
Charlton's Italian founder being mob-affiliated -- &
pro-Mussolini.
I'm sure DC wasn't above dirty tricks.
After all,
Donenfeld & Lebowitz did virtually steal
Superman from teenagers Siegel & Shuster.

I believe I got some of
the 3 per quarter comic bags at 7-11.
The
comics in the comic bags were full cover &
unmarked.
As a kid, occasionally I did find 5 cent
comics,
sometimes used & sometimes with 3/4th cover.
I still
have a 3/4th cover Dell Tarzan from circa 1948. Comic
retailers stripped the cover title off unsold comics & got
refunded by returning that top 1/4 of the covers. The
retailers were supposed to throw away the 3/4th cover
comics but a lot of 'em were sold cheap.
>( At

others' copyrights , simply based on Waldman having come
into posession of some old printing plates of the

<
IW-Super comics were meant to make a quick
buck
recycling old stuff. Wasn't Waldman a Hassidic
Jew?
I got IW comics in comic bags. I don't remember
whether I got any 1960s DCs in comic bags.
Among
the better IW reprints was a Quality PlasticMan and a
Police Comic (with PlasticMan & Spirit). I also remember
an IW with Wally Wood art & another with Joe Kubert
art.
The Wood story I most remember was a
really creepy story about a radioactive asteroid
&
its space pirate inhabitants. It was corny &
unbelievable by current standards but it really scared me as a
kid.
Like Charlton comics (especially late 1960s Charlton
comics), the IW-Super reprints were often printed
off-register.

Unless you had a local distributor who didn't
care about the comics. Comics were considered marginal
items at best, and they were often distributed...
eratically isn't the right word... perversely? What I mean
is that, the guy on the truck looked at an order
that said "100 funny books" and give the outlet 100
funny books. He didn't care if all 100 were DC,
Charlton, Marvel, Gold Key, AGC, Atlas, Standard, Fox, or a
mix. He actually didn't care if all 100 funny books
were the SAME TITLE. After I got a car, I discovered
just how bizarre the distribution practices were. Once
I couldn't find a particualr issue of Warlock (the
one with the solo adventure of Pip the Troll). I had
six convenience stores or drug stores in the area,
and none of them got it. I was working several miles
away, and after work checked out a Seven-Eleven. Almost
one entire side of the spin rack was filled with
copies of that issue of Warlock. If I had been thinking,
I'd have bought up a bunch of them. As it was, I got
one for me and a couple of others for friends who had
been looking for it too.
Also, if you are in a
smaller city near a bigger city that is the home of the
distributor, you may find that the stores in the bigger city
get preferential treatment. This means that the
further away from the distribution center you are, the
less chance you have of getting books. In addition,
the stores that did the highest volume got
perferential treatment, so that if anyone got shorted on their
order, it was the smaller stores in the suburbs.
I
already know that today bigger markets get preferential
treatment over smaller markets, so if someone in NYC orders
an extra 100 copies of "Wolfe and Byrd, Councellors
of the Macabre", I stand a chance of missing it.

I remember getting some of what I guess were IW
comics at the local TG&Y. I remember The Spirit, Jack
Kirby's Bullseye, a jungle princess-thing that might have
been Sheena, and and issue of Torchy. I never saw the
Plastic Man. Drat!

Some were mom and pop stores and some were thrift
stores. The Salvation Arrmy store had a big box of old
golden and atomic books for fawcett, quality atlas dc
and many others. The mom and pops nad more recent
back issues including charlton and IW. Some had
stripped covers'some full covers. The mom and pop stores
also bought comics from kids for three cents each.
Hey, after all how much could old funny books be
worth. It wasn't like anyone would want to read them
twenty years from now:)

I was looking at some of these things just
yesterday. They are pretty packages but the prices for a B&W
package (of average quality)are a bit steep. They are
tempting though, but so far I have resisted. I'll be
anxious to hear what you find.

And speaking of paying too much for a comic, I
did it the other day myself.
I found a copy
of Charlton Premiere #19 (Volume 1) and picked it
up. I had never seen this comic before and only was
dimly aware of it. Seems in another of Charlton's
wonderful numbering decisions they transformed "War Marine
Heroes" into this one-time comic. The insides were just
like most other Charlton war comics. The only thing
setting this comic apart was the distinctive "Charlton
Premiere" logo which would grace a Volume 2 a few months
later. There would be four issues of that volume and
they featured among others such well-remembered
stories as Spookman (Boyette at his best), Children of
Doom,
and Sinistro the Boy Fiend.
The comic
isn't much in itself, but it is an interesting
transitional book as Charlton attempted to redefine itself in
the late 60's.
Kaji Dha!

If you zare talking about the ACG reprints, I've
gotten seveal of them. As for being overpriced, arent
ALL comic books overpriced these days?
I've
enjoyed Star Hawks, The Green Berets, and one or two
other odd issues (Including a version of "Destination:
Moon"). They've reprinted some comics that Eternity did
ten years or so ago (newspaper strips of The Shadow,
Sherlock Holmes, and Charlie Chan). I've got a war comic
reprint with nice Ditko/Wood art, I ordered but never
recieved Jungle Jim with either Ditko or Wood art (maybe
both). I got a Gorgo reprint, but don't remember if it
was from ACG or not.
Their publication schedule
and their distribution leave a LOT to be desired.

Let me add my 2 cents worth here, since I've been
trying to track down these "new" ACG comics in my area.
Just today I got "Star Western" #4 which must have
just been published...billed on the cover as "Clayton
Moore Issue" though I don't see why except for a two
page text article in the middle. This is quite a bit
thicker than the usual ACG comics so far, with a higher
price ($5.95). It has a Masked Raider strip with art by
PAM, 2 Gunmaster and Bulletboy strips (darn nice art),
a good looking strip titled "The War Criminal of
Abilene", "Famous Western Lawmen" (1 page strip),"The Lone
Ranger Creed" (text) by Fran Striker, and 3 "Hooded
Horseman" strips.
I also got a square-bound collection
of sf/horror stories, including a "Herbie" story. It
looks to be about 50-75 pages (I ain't gonna count 'em)
for $9.95--all ACG (the REAL ACg from the 60s) and
Charlton reprints. I also got for $2.95 the 3rd issue of
"Johnny Comet"--Frazetta's strip.
These are all new, I
believe. So I take it as a good sign that the company is
still in business.
By the way, Ken Pierce Books
(check his web page) sells back issues, though he
charges about four or five bucks! (I'm all for a guy
making a buck, but these comics are rather badly printed
and not worth that! You can buy the original comics
cheaper.)
Also seen--but VERY poorly printed--Dragon Lady
sequences from Terry for $9.95, also a very thick book. Let
me note, mostly the art is printed very nicely,
though, as in the western book described
above.
Whether this all is too pricey depends on one's taste...a
lot of it is, such as the badly printed Dick Tracy
reprints he puts out. Better quality is available
elsewhere. But, for 3 bucks, where else you gonna get nice
Charlton and ACG stories these days? The fan press doesn't
like 'em so it's not like you'll get a neat coffee
table book of these stories. At least this guy offers
oddities like Miss Fury, Basil Wolverton stories, Johnny
Comet, and so on. That's worth an occassional three
bucks to me.

In my repoly to Walt I mentioned Ken Pierce books
and then I decided I should expand on that. Pierce
has been offering very nicely printed collections of
strips of all kinds since the late 70s and I recommend
his books, for the most part. They are a bit costly,
but he has usually printed them in a great format. I
visited his web page and he seems to by selling a lot of
other publishers' books these days, such as Bill
Black's reprint books (AC Comics--check out THAT web page
too) and the ACG stuff.
There's plenty of variety
offered and most of you will find something worth having.
Personally I recommend the Alley Oop books, Axa, Modesty
Blaise, and some of the old strips like Smokey Stover and
Betty Boop. Hop over to his web page and see for
yourself.

I tend to think Charlton's early to late 1970s
books are the best published by the company. Some of my
alltime favorite comics are 1970s Charltons. I'd like to
see some top 10 lists of what others think are
classic Charlton stories.
One of my classic picks is
the book-length Monster Hunters No. 9 with the Mike
Zeck werewolf story and that gorgeous cover. Another
is Doomsday+1 No. 2. I'll be posting my top 10 list
shortly, after I sort through some very good stories.
Anyone interested?

The Brave and the Bold 80-Page Giant is out. Not
bad, really. I had read all but the Newsboy
Legion/Sandman and Sandy team-up. The Green Arrow/J'onn J'onz
team-up puzzles me a bit continuity-wise (the old
continuity, not the new one), but is okay.
Why is this
here? The last story in the book is a
Nightshade/Captain Atom team-up. It is also the first appearance of
Punch and Jewlee.

...Are you Swede ? Brit ?
Is that " Prodigal
" story set in another era ?
Does , as I assume
would be the case , the Prodigal repent , and take up
his cross/duty ? Does he apologize to Daddy Purple
before he croaks ? ( The Phantom's varying color schemes
can sure get confusing !!!!! )

Does anyone know where that Nightshade/Captain
Atom story first appered? Was it in an issue of
Captain Atom (Charlton in the 60's I assume) or
eleswhere?
I loved seeing the "original" Captain Atom in
action again, I never have warmed up to the new DC
version.

A Swede I am indeed.
The Prodigal son does
indeed take place in another era. It does not say when
but I would guess late 1700 or early 1800. The
Prodigal son does repent, but he still carries the Sing
mark on his wrist.
...but he does NOT
apologize to daddy....since he never get a chance to talk
to him before he dies.

That Captain Atom story comes from issue #85 of
the run and is the second story after Cap adopted the
blue,red and silver costume (my favorite). The issue also
featured the second Ditko Blue Beetle story. There is a
Modern Comics reprint of this comic out there if you can
find it.
I concur on the DC version of Cap.
While I kind of liked him in Extreme Justice the
super-patriot Cap always struck me as a slap in the face to
those old stories.

...The 1st time I tried 2 post this
( As
Waltsland ? ) I couldn't , so...
Thank you for the info
. A late 1700s Phant. might have to be worked
around the 1776 Phantom of the last Charlton issue ,
which , I suppose , might've never been reprinted
anywhere ( And , may've been the only issue I ever bought
off the newsstand ! ) , given that it is kind of
special pleading for the U.S. - after all , the Phantom
is an African , right , really ?
I assume that "
Girl Phantom " is at least semi-official ? Did , say ,
in his paperback novels , Falk go into more detail
establishing the
various Phants. ? Of course , there's
the little real world/conflicting continuity fact
that there's only been one Phantom since the late
Thirties - with one Diana , whom he only married , &
started the " dropping-of-little-Phantoms " process ,
forty years after first taking up with her ! Ah ,
continuity...
EXTRA STUFF: Is the Mandrake strip still running
? Also , given my tip on the SF Chronicle site , is
there any Web source for the Phantom daily in black and
white ??????? ( These parts I added this time , they
weren't in the un-posted , first , posting . )

The “old” Captain Atoms are indeed the best in my
book.
I'm fortunate enough to own Captain
Atom#75-80,83,84(Modern reprint),86 and 87. I was debating buying the
Brave and the Bold reprint, but I'd rather save my
money and get the real thing. Also, I just learned from
Blake Bell(of “Ditko Looked Up” web site fame) that the
last unpublished Captain Atom story (issue #90) was
printed in Charlton Bullseye#1-#2.
Thanks for the
info Dean.

There has been 21 Phantoms. The first Phantom
came to Africa about the same time as the first
Europeans came to The Americas....so that would make him
very African indeed. I guess....
The
Scandinavian stories (gets reprinted in Australia a a month or
so later) has a cronology worked out with all
different Phantoms.
Here is a
link:
http://Www.fantomen.com/family_tree/
It is all in Swedish....but here are a few key-words
and I think that, that can healp you read the diagram
without a problem.
Fantom nr.= Phantom
number
Levnads-år = When he was alive
Tillträdde år = Year he
became the phantom
Ålder = His age as he became
the Phantom
År i tjänst = Years in Phantom
service
Ålder vid frånfället = Age at death
Gift med =
Married to
Bandarhövding = Bandar
chief
Husdjur = Pet (all are horses exept Loki the
bird)
DP-Chef = Djungle Patrol chief
This link is from
the official Phantom site
The Phantom "17 B"
is Julie aka The Girl Phantom. She has appeared in
alteast one Lee Falk story. 4 Swedish Phantom stories and
a back-up in King Comics short lived Mandrake book.
I would say that she is very official.
The
"Swedish" Phantom has allways been very much a traveling
man. Africa is his HQ, but he operates all over the
world. One Phantom participated in the US civil war and
another one was involved in the French revolution (as
well as trying to stop the assasination of a Swedish
king).
The editor who has edited the Swedish Phantom book
was a good friend of Lee Falk. Not only buissnes but
they even went on vacation together. I think that Lee
falk was very aware of what was going on in the
Swedish book.
The Mandrake strip is still running.
I think both can be found at the King Features
site.

Bob Layton who of course is one of the guys
behind the Charlton Bullseye from the 70's and who
recently brought us The L.A.W. (DC's attempt to get some
mileage out of those great Charlton Action Heroes), has
an interview up right now at Comic Book Resources.
It is very informative and touches on a lot of
Charlton topics. The address

Did anyone read the short-lived DC revival of
this character (12 issues, if I remember correctly). I
remember it being pretty cool, but DC never seems to push
the revived or purchased characters enough to make
them serious contenders (examples: The Ray, Black
Condor, Freedom Fighters, EVERY Charlton character,
etc...)
Anywho, is there anything on the net about this guy? Any
fanFiction at all? I miss reading good clean stories (ever
since Impact Comics died there's been a big
void....)
Anywho,
looking forward to some fun reading on this
club

Pete Morisi is the guy. Yes he does currently own
all the rights to Thunderbolt. DC leased the rights
when they did the ill-fated series. T-Bolt came over
with all the other Action Heroes back in the 80's but
I think soon thereafter PAM regained the rights.
You're right when you say it was kind of murky when the
rights were origianlly acquired from Charlton. That was
the reason Thunderbolt didn't participate in the
L.A.W. I don't think DC has been very nice about it, but
that could be scuttlebutt.

...From memory , and , reconstructing from memory
th' CBA #1 C. ish...Apparently , numerous of the C.
rights " passed to an Australian company " , P.C. did ,
anyway...Then , according to PAM , DC more or less said " nyahh
, nyahh , we've got more lawyers than you , so ,
you can't stop us , nyaah , nyahh "...while ,
Giordano said " I kind of took the blame as the bad
guy/verbally fell on the sword for DC screwing Pete " , but ,
obviously ,PAIII somehow got it back...maybe there's
something to be said for those Mafia stories ! Myself , I
remember DC talking about " ...there's a new PCT origin
that maybe we'll publish in a SECRET ORIGINS special
oneday " and me wanting to see it ! ( It's , apparently
, th' M-'ster's , once , again . ) Remember ,
Charlton let their copyrights go in stages , I guess .
Wasn't First's/whoever's version of E-Man doing well in
'84 , or even '83...And , C. musta sold BB , CA ,
etc. , by late '83 , at th' latest...?...But , C. kept

The way I always understood the E-Man deal was
that First bought them and then Joe Staton worked on
the book with some kind of deal where the rights
slowly reverted to him. By the end of the process he did
indeed have the full rights to the character and retains
them to this day. It is possible that he has shared
them with Nick Cuti, but I don't think that is the
case.

Joe Staton does indeed own the rights to E-Man
and the comic was published by First and later
Comico. Refer to the Charlton issues of Comic Book Artist
for the full story. I think issue 12 has an interview
with Staton and another with Nick Cuti.

I have completed perhaps my most important
Charlton collection. When I first started collecting
comics, I read Flash from DC, Captain Marvel and Hulk
from Marvel, and Hercules by Sam Glanzman by Charlton.
I started the series with issue #4. Over the years
I have the few back issues I needed except for #3.
Charlton did a reprint series and so I've had the actual
story for some time, but just yesterday I was fortunate
enough to find a near pristine copy of #3. Now my
Hercules collection is complete!
There was in fact
a complete run of the Hercules series as well as
many other Charlton series. They were without question
the cleanest,best looking Charlton comics I have ever
seen. Not a one seem to have a single blemish and the
spines were in near perfect order. E-Man, Judomaster,
Thunderbolt, Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, and Fightin' 5 were all
sitting in boxes in absolutely wonderful condition. The
prices unfortunately were reflective of the great
condition and consequently I won't be bringing many of
these babies home. But it was very cool to see Charlton
comics in near new condition. Rare treat
indeed!
Kaji (Flippin') Dha!

I imagine I have most of his work, if not all of
it. But I haven't ever sat down and created a list of
it all. Let me see what I can come up with. Likely
there are some pieces I don't have and will learn about
in this process.

I had a flash, and maybe saved myself some work
Michael. The John Byrne Fan Club has a checklist of his
work and has it divided by company. The Charlton work
is segregated out and is the fourth grouping in the
Checklist secion (after Marvel, DC & Dark Horse). The
address
is:
http://www.acc.umu.se/~alpha/byrne/start.html
Good luck! I did glance at the list and it seemed to
have most of what I remember and even a couple I had
forgotten.

I just found this club and had to join. I read
Charlton comics since I was a kid. As a matter of fact I
think my first Charlton was Atomic Mouse by Al Fago.
And I loved Captain Atom and all the other action
heroes of the 60's.
In the 70's I sold two short
scripts to Charlton. One was a horror script and the
other was a romance comic. The pay wasn't great, but at
least they would look at your work. The other companies
were closed shops at the time when it came to writers.
The first script I sent them should have gone into
the circular file. But, instead of a form rejection,
Nick Cuti sent me a letter detailing what was wrong
with the story and what to do next time. Of course, I
had that letter next to me when writing the next
script and that one sold. I still have that letter and
it is one of my prized possesions.
And when
Charlton was letting fans do whatever they wanted with the
Charlton Bullseye comic I started working on an idea about
Captain Atom. It was intended to explain where he had
been all these years and feature the most powerful
villain he ever faced. So powerful that all the Charlton
heroes had to team up to battle him. Of course the plug
got pulled before I was able to finish it. A shame
since I was also working on ideas to update Judomaster,
Son of Vulcan, and Thunderbolt.
And, if anyone is
interested, I think DC really dropped the ball when it came
to handling the Charlton characters.
I had a lot
of Charlton comics, but a roof leak took care of
that. Still have some, but they are so hard to find
back issues here.
Glad someone cared enough to make
this club.

Sorry for the shameless plug here, but I thought
you guys might be interested.
I am trying to
liquidate part of my comic collection because I am going to
be a father...again!
I have a lot on Ebay
that is mostly consiting of characters once published
by Charlton. Minimum bid is only 50 cents, so you
can tell I'm not out to make money in this, just to
send the books off to someone who'll appriciate them.

I don't normally read the Journal. I frankly find
the near constant disdain for superheroes too
grating, but it's hard to resist when a Charlton fave like
Tom Sutton does an extended interview with the
magazine and you then find said magazine for only a buck.
What's not to like?
As with any Journal interview
I don't read it in order but scan it looking for
bits which interest me and in this case of course I
wanted to know what Sutton said about Charlton. Someone
here had mentioned this interview when it first came
out and recommended it so I knew the subject was
broached.
Favorite points:
Story about Sutton and his wife
visiting the Derby plant and discovering Nick Cuti and
George Wildman (Sutton couldn't remember Wildman's name)
and dirt, dirt , dirt. Apparently the old factory
atmosphere (I used to work in a plant of the same vintage)
created quite a rugged working environment.
Story
about Wally Wood actually staging a military attack on
the Derby plant to liberate some of his artwork.
According to Sutton Wood and some accomplices use grappling
hooks (I'm not kidding!) and ropes to scale the
building and break in to retrieve the
artwork.
Finally the point that Gary Groth seems to have some
animus against our beloved Joe Gill. Multiple times in
the interview it seemed to me that Groth (who
invariably described Gill as a hack) tried to get Sutton to
say unkind things about Joe. Sutton to his credit
refrained and instead remarked that while Gill's scripts
were less that always fresh they were competent and
that Joe was a nice is somewhat cranky
fellow.
Sadly Groth seemed event to use Gill's name as a
synonym for "hack" at times. What is this guy's problem
anyway.
Anyway the interview was very revealing,
and unfortunately tells the story of a profoundly sad
and regretful man (Sutton) who has found himself
isolated in his profession. Sutton was a master of the
horror form in the 70s'. His work along with Ditko's was
a constant of quality in Charlton's ghost line.
Ironically I also found a copy of Ghostly Haunts yesterday
featuring a particularly good Sutton painted cover. I don't
think there has ever been an artist better suited to
illustrate the worlds of H.P.Lovecraft than Tom Sutton. His
gothic style and Lovecraft's merge
wonderfully.
What do you all think?

In what issue of the Comics Journal is that interview printed? I'd like to know, just to have a copy to read myself. Thanks for the info.

I halfway sympathize with Gary Groth. His
attitude seems to be that comics should be better than
they usually are and I can't enmtirely disagree with
that, so when he criticises someone he thinks is a
"hack", I can see where he's copming from. What's grating
for most, I feel, is that a hack is simply someone
who does art, not entirely his own, for money. I
don't see this as the ultimate evil as Groth does. In
my mind, a "hack" (or hired artist) can do very good
work indeed. Where Groth becomes irritating is when he
refuses to acknowledge that HIS own favorite writers and
artists are also hacks, and Groth spares no energy in
gushing over them.
Personally, I don't have admiration
for Gill's writing...but I have respect. He did
competent work, even though he didn't do much that I
strongly admire personally.
Regarding Sutton...I
strongly liked his work from the start. I really love
strongly stylistic artists and his art was significantly
personal and fascinating to see. It's really a shame that
he didn't get more assignments from other companies
that last 20 years.
I hope his stuff gets reprinted
soon. I think it would look even better in black and
white. However, I have to say that the one thing that
struck me about the Comics Journal interview was
Sutton's lack of coherence and memory. The poor guy
obviously lived hard in the 70s. I'm not being snide
here...I'm sorry it was so but it seems to be the case. I'd
like to see him do new work now. He MUST have a lot of
good stuff in him, if he wanted to do comics nowadays.

The Comics Journal issue number was #230. I'm
sorry I didn't think to include that critical bit of
data in my first message. The issue features a
first-rate Tom Sutton painted cover with a classic oozy
monster and damsel of some sort. The guy was/is a great
artist.

I frankly thought the interview could have used a
little editing. I know what you mean about Sutton's lack
of memory. But some of his confusion resulted from
the insistence to present us with what seemed to me
not to be a crafted interview but rather a transcript
of the conversation. Based on things Groth said I
imagine the interview was conducted by phone, and he had
the chance as questioner to prepare his line of
inquiry while Sutton was left to react to Groth's very
specific (and sometimes excellent) questions.
But
all that aside Sutton seemed to have a real need to
get his message across that his life was not to be
seen as some sort of guide for budding artists. I
found his comments about the evils of drink
particularly moving. He seemed almost to want to reach out and
try to save folks from making some of the mistakes he
understands himself to have made.
I'm always struck by
artists who can't remember the work they've done. It
means so much to me, and is burned into my "fanboy"
memory that to encounter the creator not even giving it
a second thought after its completion is an odd
experience. Clearly Sutton worked at a breakneck pace and the
work was just that, "work".
The funniest
moment in the interview for me, was when he couldn't
even remember the existence of the short-lived company
Atlas-Seaboard.

I was just thinking today about some of the clubs
I founded over a year ago, and I realized that this
club has already seen its anniversary. I'm sorry I
wasn't around for it -- I was on vacation in Europe at
the time -- but I'm really pleased with the growth
and the activity this club has
spawned.
Sonofvulcan is really the heart and soul of this club (in my
opinion), and it's to him and everyone else here who
contributes regularly that I say, "THANKS!"
The reason
I founded this club in the first place was because
the few comics published by Charlton have always
impressed me, and I wanted to know more about that "little
comic-book company that could" from Derby, and it's safe to
say that this club has exceeded my vision
tenfold!
Thanks to all of you again, and especially to my
faithful co-founder, Sonofvulcan.

Thanks for the kind words Doc. The interest in
Charlton over the last year has been uplifting. The little
Derby company has spawned a full-fledged fanzine
(Charlton Spotlight), an E-group, and this Yahoo Club to
name just a few. A Captain Atom story was just last
month reprinted, a great sign of things to come I hope.
The interest in the collecting community for
Charltons seems to be growing.
This club has been a
great deal of fun to co-manage and it has inspired me
to actively work on a few of my Charlton
collections. Now if I could only justify spending so much on
that issue of Go-Go #1 I've seen I would indeed be in
heaven.

What should DC do to successfully market the
Charlton Heroes?
They've done quite a few things
with them, but nothing really of late (outside the Cap
Atom reprint). Given the recent interest in Charlton,
what could DC do to make those characters click in the
modern marketplace?
My answer is Steve Ditko. I
don't know what his situation is, but DC should offer
him enough a lucrative deal to return for a year or
so to Blue Beetle and then get out of his way. I
would love to see some raw Ditko on the market with
those modern DC production values. I can't imagine
Ditko's political meanderings to be any more odd than
much of the Vertigo material.
What do my
fellow Charltonians think?

Wouldn't it be great if DC were to start putting
out the Charlton action figures along with the ones
they are currently doing of their own characters? It
would be so easy to do!!! I myself, figuring this
likely never would happen, a number of years ago,
decided to make my own. So I made home made versions of:
Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, Judomaster, Tiger, and
Peacemaker! They turned out rather well, actually, and I
still have them. Phil Latter a.k.a Chromium Foil

Years ago, just after DC acquired the rights to
all the Charlton characters, I was so excited about
that. Being fans of all of these characters, but
particularly Judomaster, I photocopied every JM issue(eleven
in all, including his 1st appearance in Special War
Series#4), but also sending them an original JM issue which
I did have a duplicate of. The idea was to get them
excited or interested enough to do a JM series, or at
least bring him back, since he was about the one
"charlton action hero" they didn't use for several years.
Of course,we all know how that turned out. Off
topic, can anyone please(!!!) tell me what happened to
the Christopher Smith Peacmaker?? There was no
explanation of what happened to him in THE LAW series. Did he
die? And if so, in what issue?? Of course, Paul
Kupperberg ruined him, just like he ruined the modern
Vigilante, so the only option left for DC was to kill him
off. Vig was so "written into a corner"...his I.D
shown to the world, that any alternative would have
seemed ridiculous.

First I think that DC needs to realize that there
is value in the Charlton characters as they were.
Examine their strengths and weaknesses and play to those
strengths and try to find ways to make the character better
without altering them so that they are unrecognizable
from our beloved Charlton versions. And why mess with
the costumes so much? I thought that the Charlton
action heroes outfits were fine. Maybe a tiny
alteration, but not this wholesale redesign crap that DC has
gotten into the habit of. It seems that today's creators
cannot appreciate a simple solid character and feel that
they must remold that character so that they are cool
and edgy. And this is done with even some of DC's
older characters. I see nothing wrong with doing a good
solid version of a character as they were created
instead of remaking them just so you can say that you
contributed to something that would not have been a sucess
without the creator's brilliant reconstruction of that
character.
And don't just put the books out without a good
marketing plan. Use house ads...ads in comic related
publications...posters...support the titles. Get behind the books and push as much
as you can. How much do you really have to market
Superman and Batman? People are going to buy those titles
anyway. Use some of that advertising dollar to get the
Charlton characters off the ground. If they crash and burn
at least you can say that you gave it a good shot
instead of just dumping them on the comic book shops
without support and looking the other way when they get
in trouble.
And don't entangle them in those
large story arcs where there is a title for the whole
series such as Batman's No Man's Land. Keep the plots
reasonable so that new readers can jump in and discover the
characters and not feel like they are lost with the first
issue they read.
If DC is worried that these
characters would sully their good name maybe they could
somehow buy the Charlton name and put out a line of
comics under that name. I would love to buy a comic book
with the Charlton name on it again.
Sorry that
this is so long, but when it comes to how DC has
handled the Charlton action heroes I have some rather
strong feelings.

...Unfortunately...Look , I've ( Kind of . )
spent twentyish years wishing DC would " do something "
with Sugar and Spike !!!!!!!!!
( Incidentally ,
does anyone know details about the " low production
values - basically a panel-by-panel scan of an S&S story
with dialogue and sound effects " S&S TV show that a
very early Nickelodeon , apparently , did ? Sugar and
Spike " lived " in Westchester County , in Rye? , near
the Conneticut border , so that's near enough to
Derby !!!!!!!!! )
Maybe one ( or , two ? ) books of
a Charlton character , with others appearing as
supporting/involved characters...If today's SH comics creators could
re-discover the ability to actually tell a fair amount of
story in just 22 pages , rather than spreading it out
to three issues minimum ( $5.97 - or , $6.75 ,
really !!!!!!!!! )...DC's bringing back Suicide Squad ,
w Sarge S. , I think...I saw the cover in B&W and
it , practically , looked like Evan Dorkin , 'twas
so manga-but-with-guns..." Milk And Cheese - This
Time It's For REAL " !!!!!!!!!

I liked DC's run of Blue Beetle, but, as good as
Paris Cullins can draw, these characters need big name
creators and a big-time push. Casual readers have so long
ago forgotten about these characters that it's got to
be hard to get any eager anticipation going, except
with Charlton fanatics like us. I think these
characters have suffered from getting second-rate treatment
too long and any attempt to get them back into the
spotlight is going to be an uphill battle. Let's face it,
comics aren't in grocery stores and on drug store
spinner racks anymore and the only people buying comics
nowadays are adults and collectors. There aren't many new
readers coming in, except to pick up an occasional issue
of X-Men, Superman, Batman, Spiderman and Spawn. And
I'm sure those readers are too young to remember the
Blue Beetle, the Question and Captain Atom. Restarts,
like the one done recently by DC in The LAW
miniseries, should be done to renew interest, before they
decide to take the characters in a different direction
and give them totally new suits. I love the work Bob
Layton and Dick Giordano do. They are two of comics'
greatest creators. But, changing the costumes didn't help
sell any more issues, especially since they weren't
the best costumes redesigns. DC just needs to put the
Charlton characters in their own pocket of the DC
universe, much like Marvel has done with its Marvel Knights
group of books, and get some high profile writers and
artists working on these books to rejuvenate interest.
Daredevil was in the tank before Joe Quesada and Kevin
Smith came along and made the book one of Marvel's top
comics. And who cared anything about the Inhumans or the
Punisher? Instead of Marvel always following DC, maybe DC
needs to take a look at what Marvel did with those
books and put that kind of attention to the Charlton
heroes. But, you know, I don't think DC cares that much
about them to do that.

Sadly I agree that DC seems to have little
interest in the Charlton heroes. Blue Beetle gets some
attention in Birds of Prey and Captain Atom recently made a
short appearance in the "JLA: Gods and Monsters" book
(this is a pretty lame comic by the way and Cap comes
off as a near lunatic unfortunately). But beyond that
I don't think they show up on anyone's scope.
Nothing has been done with Judomaster since his
reintroduction in the L.A.W. and with all the super-teams I
think at least one Action hero could latch on
somewhere.
I like your notion of a pocket brand for
the heroes. I would love to see the same for the
Fawcett heroes that DC also abosorbed many years ago. But
I'm not holding my breath.
It could be worse I
guess. The characters could have been bought by Todd
McFarlane and would now be spending their time fighting
Spawn or perhaps forming a hockey team.

I stumbled onto a real oddity today. The comic
book is call "Holiday Surprise" (actually it reads
"Charlton's Holiday Surprise" on the cover).
The numbering
is typically Charltonesque and gives us a Volume 2
#55. There is a note that this was formerly "Summer
Fun". This 1967 book is a real hoot and is filled with
Christmas material.
I am a fan of Tony Tallarico. I
can't explain that, except to say that his wide-open
style is full of energy and his storytelling can be
quite good (and quite clunky too). This entire issue (a
25 cent giant by the way) is done by Tallarico. He
uses at least three main styles. There is his typical
comic book style (similar to his Blue Beetle work)
which is used on a retelling of the Dickens classic "A
Christmas Carol". This is a stripped-down version as the
wonderful trio of ghosts is replaced by a single Marley
character. Nonetheless Tallarico's art is well suited to
Dickensian characterss. He uses a more New Yorker cartoon
style on some single page gags featuring Santa and a
reindeer called Little Rufus. Also there are a host of
mazes, cut-outs, and coloring pages (which thankfully
are untouched in my copy). The most interesting bit
though is a retelling of the Christ story and the story
of Hannukah in a much more illustrative and
realistic style.
This is darn fine little comic
fromthe innocuous cover to the Batman ad for a projector
on the back cover. My store has gotten a lot of neat
Charlton treasures in the last few weeks, but so far this
one is the oddest and most interesting to
date.
Does anyone know more about this comic? I would love
to know more.
Kaji Dha!

Steve Ditko is one of the most complex characters
in all of comics. Why he does the things he does,
has always been a mystery. He worked for Charlton for
decades because they left him the hell alone. For some
mysterious reason he saw his way clear to work for Marvel in
the 80's on a host of superhero projects. I still
haven't figured that turnabout out.
I don't doubt
for a moment he means what he says, but I also know
that he has done a lot of unpredcitable things. If
they were to convince him he had total autonomy on the
strip, I think he might (just perhaps) be cajoled into
it. The money would have to be good as he is getting
up there in years, but the total control at a major
publisher might be tempting.

Rounded up a nice helping of some early Doc
Graves comics yesterday. These are the cream of the
cream when it comes to late 60's Charlton ghost comics.
Dr.M.T.Graves is the best host of a horror comic since the EC
hosts. His occasional role as a particpant in the
stories gives the books a depth not found in many ghost
comics. That early Ditko and Aparo is so
fine.

characters like Zorro, the phantom, tarzan, green hornet,
and popeye. i would sure like a reply to some members
as i have posted on this board at times. I don't

this is a pretty "exclusive" club that I don't I am

My debut comic, "Klyde & Meriem" is out on the
shelves today! It's a very limited run (slightly under
4000 copies), so get 'em while they last, or place a
reorder. A reprinting would be great!

I'm really disappointed Loston. I called my
comics dealer (sounds vaguely illegal doesn't it) and
put in my weekly order (they won't let you reserve
comics until the day they arrive) and had Klyde and
Meriem put on the list. They said okay, but when I got
home I didn't find it among the pile of comics. I'll
have to call today and try to snag one. Hopefully I
haven't missed it.

Charlton makes yet one more appearance at the
Oddball comics site. This time the comic in question is
THE RETURN OF GORGO #3 from 1964. Prompted by this
appearance I went and actually bought this comic yesterday
(found it for a very reasonable price given that we're
talking Ditko here). Sure it's hokey. Sure it has taking
dolphins. But what are you gonna do. To get a closer look

I'd like to hear from other Judomaster fans.
While I love all the Charlton action heroes, I admit JM
was far and away my favorite! Excellent, dynamic art
by Frank Mclaughlin, cool costume, interesting
romantic partner and supporting cast,wonderful action
scenes and anatomy, and very good job on the coloring,
to boot! The idea that JM (in reality) an American,
fighting against our (then) WW11 enemies, the Japanese,
with himself wearing a costume mimicking the Japanese
"rising sun" flag---struck me that JM was insulting his
enemies further, making it seem that it was---Japan
versus the empire of Japan. That aspect struck me as
odd, but intriguing. And yet, I want to be careful
because I certainly don't want my comments to be
misconstrued as non politically correct. No such intent is
meant. But if you are familiar with the series, I think
you may see what I mean. A lot of evils were
perpetrated against Japanese Americans, as I think we are all
aware. Most of them were put in concentration camps in
America for the duration of the war. This was Mcarthyism
at its worst---assuming all Japanese are the enemy.
Utter madness. The Japanese may have attached "us"
first---meaning the U.S. first (I myself am Canadian but
Canadians were allies and served)---but still to punish
Japanese citizens was to me incredible paranoia. On
another note, I sent out a message about Peacemaker some
time ago. My question was: What happened to the
Christopher Smith Peacemaker? He was replaced in THE L.A.W by
a completely different Peacemaker. Is Smith Dead?
If so, was that story ever told? If so, where? Sure
would appreciate any info on this. Thanks

Rip Jagger is one of my particular favorites too
Chrome (may I call you "Chrome"?). In fact it was those
two decidedly wonderful issues featuring the debut of
Tiger which were my entry point into the Charlton
mythology. Those and a single issue of the Dan Garrett Blue
Beetle and a single issue of Pat Boyette's quirky take
on Thunderbolt were what I knew of Charlton for many
years. But it was indeed that odd costume which drew me
to Judomaster.
I was very pleased to see him
revived in the L.A.W. limited series and while I
understand the need to redesign his outfit I did indeed miss
that red and yellow splash of color. While the
Japanese are often mishandled in WWII vintage books, I
think the treatment they recieved in Judomaster was
(within the confines of a war book) pretty reasonable.
The villains were specific stereotypes, but there
wasn't a total condemnation of an entire population as
you find in the most engergetic of the Golden Age
comics. The jingoism was held to a minimum I
think.
Frank McLaughlin did a tremendous job on the series.
With all proper respect to the more successful Iron
Fist and Master of Kung-Fu which Marvel produced in
the 70's there has never been a more accurate martial
arts comic than Judomaster to my knowledge.
Rip
Jagger was the best!

I don't know. I was very saddened by the
treatment of Chris Smith by DC. I have the mini-series
which was done but beyond that I know little about the
character at DC. The last time I remember seeing him before
this new guy in L.A.W. was in Justice League as a
member of some overly violent group or other, the name
of which escapes me. I'll have to do some research,
but I would guess that it is at least assumed that
Smith is dead. But this is comics, and dead don't mean
a lot most of the time.

The rule of thumb is "If there ain't no body, he ain't dead". As a secondary rule, you might also discount the body as evidence where some characters are concerned (Fu Manchu comes to mind).

Oh I agree absolutely. It darned hard to kill off
a comics character, and frankly can never be done
with absolute assurance that it will take thoroughly.
My displeasure with the handling of Peacemaker is
the general notion that his whole mission of seeking
world peace through armed conflict was on its face
foolish and consequently he was a dumb character. You get
that in the way DC made him essentially an insane
character and you find it with Alan Moore's Watchmen
version who is called simply the Comedian. I don't find
the inherent conflict in the character that his
post-Charlton creators seem to. He is at least as valid a
character as Captain America or Batman in that he fights
for what he belives in.

Thanks guys for getting back to me on jm and
peacemaker! So many replies! I'm grateful! Certainly you may
call me Chrome! (For some odd reason my mother calls
me Phil.But no matter.) From all the replies I
received, I am assuming it is correct that DC feels
Christopher Smith version (original) of Peacemaker is indeed
dead. And further that this story hasn't been told. A
shame? I feel he was ruined by Paul Kupperberg (writer)
who wrote him into a corner. (Crazy, thus he had to
go) > Paul often does write characters into
corners. Not being able to write them back out of it, they
have to die. EG:Adrian Chase/Vigilante was unmasked on
TV, and ergo had to die. By his own hand, a suicide.
Interestingly, he was unmasked by---you guessed it---Peacemaker.
I agree with you Dean, on Judomaster as
well---those tales were very realistic and fairer to the
Japanese than a lot of golden age comics---were they often
looked like monkeys! As in the character Chop Chop in
early Blackhawks! Racism was prevalent then! That often
happens in war. But peacetime as well. Segregation of
blacks up through the 60's. I think racism,
unfortunately, will always be with us. I don't like the new
Peacemaker. And off topic---I think some writers kill off
popular characters so as to create their own
version---like this new Peacemaker, or Ron Marz' Kyle Rayner
Green Lantern. -Phil Latter/Chromiumfoil

The assumption is that since the character didn't
sell well enough to stay around then there must be
something wrong with the premise. That may be true of a
concept where the platform is Marvel or DC, but we're
talking about Charlton here. This company was anything
but typical and the creators would be wise to
understand that the characters resonate because they are
fundamentally sound, not because they are flawed. Stick with
the original concepts, or at least treat them with
respect.

I had to give a short reply, CF! The treatment of
Japanese on the west coast during WWII was certainly
shameful, especially the aspect of seizing property with
little or no compensation and sending all Japanese to
concentration camps. But I just want to correct the swing we
have in the OTHER way. At the time, there WERE
Japanese working for the homeland as spies and agitators,
as depicted in the filmn Pearl Harbor (and based on
reality). At the time, Americans had no way of telling how
many ethnic Japanese felt loyalty to the Emperor, who,
after all, was their god. Furthermore, Japanese
propaganda itself advertised that Japanese in America should
and would rise up at any time to help the Japanese
army invade, and average Americans had no way of
telling if that was true or not.
I mention this just
to correct the tendency of ours to look back and say
"Well, they shoulda known better" when viewing an
historical situation. The anti-Japanese sentiments of the
War years were justified given the times. It WASN'T
justified to send old men, women, and children to camps, or
to steal the property of long-time residents and 2nd
generation citizens...but it was justified for the public to
think of the Japanese in the army as evil---they were!
The japanese, by the time of Pearl Harbor, had shown
their cruelty for a decade and most Americans knew
about it.
By the 60s, in a comic like Judomaster, we
were able to grudgingly admit to the positive parts of
Japanese culture, and thus let the anti-Japanese feelings
subside.
I mention this just to balance our view of the pop
culture of the times. We can blame the comics artists of
1942 for not seeing the world the way we do now...and
this goes for all areas of life as depicted in old
comics, m ovies, etc.

I think what has always struck the chord on the
internment issues was the blatant racist attitudes that
partially motivated it. To my knowledge no such camps were
devised for Italian or German Americans and that gives
rise to the simple but true notion that it was the
difference in appearance that drove the call for such
special security moves. The Japanese could be identified
simply by the way they looked and such simple divisions
are easy for fearful (justifiable though that fear
might be) folks to fasten onto.
We see the same
kind of racism today when there is one "worldwide"
response to tragedies in Europe and another when those
same kinds of tragedies occur in Africa or Asia. I
admit that I too fall into this simplistic "us" and
"them" attitude simply by reflex all to often.
I
accept easily that certain Japanese were a real and
substantial threat during WWII. I can even forgive
overreactions. But let's not fool ourselves into thinking the
camps were justified. They flat were not. I know you
aren't arguing for this Charles.
The racism
apparent in the comics of the Golden Age can be put into
historical context and I can even get well beyond that and
enjoy the stories. But we can't let that kind of thing
go by again. The most recent examples are simplistic
notions promoted about Middle Eastern peoples. Demonizing
a Hitler, or a Tojo, or a Saddam is tricky business
and can leave some very profound scars.

Hi chasmithalpha thanks for your reply. Some
years ago I read an issue of TIME magazine whose cover
had intrigued me. It was a blood red cover, with huge
black letters spelling out, DOES EVIL EXIST? It was a
fascinating read, covering such topics as mass
murder/genocide, serial killers,Hitler, Napoleon, men who kill
women, children, cults, etc, etc, et al. You get the
idea. The basic premise was, are all of these people,
nations, doctrines, ideologies....EVIL? Or are they simply
demented, mentally ill, misguided, involved (or
brain-washed by) totalitarian views and doctrines...???!!! The
idea was that EVIL (which implies empowerment by, say,
Satan) is a concept that simply cannot be proven.
With respect, to say the nation of Japan in World War
11 was evil is in my view, a value judgement.
Remember, a nation is made up of men, women, children. Wars
predominantly are fought by men, under men (politicians,
government) in power.
Let's say that you or I was a
Japanese man in Japan in World War 11, and we were drafted
into the air force. In many nations, (including the
United States throughout much of its history), to speak
out against the military, or refuse to serve, was
treason, punishable by death.
Further, as a student of
Sociology, including the study of the doctrines of
Totalitarianism, a lot of that is about brainwashing. While no
true "100%" totalitarian society has ever existed (the
groundrules are not one member of that society would want to
object to it, or have reservations about it), many big
names in sociology argue that Nazi Germany came the
closest in written history.
In Japan, while the will
of the Emperor and patriotic fervor were great, one
who would not do one's duty was seen as a coward.
There was no vocal group to include oneself in, such
those who would not serve when drafted during the
Vietnam War, who felt the Vietnam War was wrong.
(Conscientious Objectors). Further, while panic was among the
U.S. (I saw a great documentary on this the other
night)....back then, not everyone had equal rights, not Japanese
in America, not Blacks, etc, etc.
Yes, the U.S.A
was understandably worried, and didn't know which of
its citizen Japanese might be loyal to the nation of
Japan....but as Dean pointed out, all of the German citizens
of the U.S.A were not arrested. Why? For one thing,
they looked like us.......
Interested in continuing
the debate. Warm Regards, Phil

Well, now, I have to respond! What a sucker I am
for a good debate! But seriously...
Let me just
say that I do NOT in any way condone racially based
policies which harm individuals for the actions of a
group, such as the internment of the Americans of
japanese descent during WWII. It was a gross over-reaction
to a perceived, and as you say, racially motivated.
Keep in mind that all Asians in the American west had
a troubled history starting with the Chinese
laborers imported in the 1850s and continuing to our
lifetimes..so, yes, the treatment of the Japanese was founded on
a strong racist tradition (aided by the Yellow
Peril theme popular in the US 1890-1945).
However,
it is NOT a good thing to go the other by glossing
over the social mores of almost all Japanese which
were revealed most strongly during the 1925-45 period.
The Japanese have been, and remain, one of the most
racist societies in the modern world, as attested to
they're own treatment of Koreans in Japan for
generations, and of the Ainu minorities--and in fact even
Japanese who have been born outside of Japan proper. I
called the Japanese "evil" during the WWII period for
the following reasons:
During the entire period,
the Japanese--not just the career soldiers, but
including average soldiers, people in the Japanese Imperial
government, and even civilians in business--participated in a
continuing program of the utmost brutality over the native
populations of every territory they got control over.
Brutality hardly describes the activities of the Japanese
in Korea and China, particularly. These actions went
far, far beyond any need for obtaining military
control or even to rule through terror...rape,
mutilation, torture and death by cruelty was a planned and
universally-accepted program among all ranks of Japanese. They didn't
simply kill people or steal resources, they casually and
routinely performed inhuman acts beyond even what the Nazis
and Russians did, far beyond our own treatment (in
scale) against Amerindians. And these activities were
known to businessmen and civilians in the homeland,
including forcible prostition of Korean women, the working
to death of native populations, the murder of
infants, the use of poison gas against civilians in
China...and on and on. And this doesn't even cover the
experimental program of torture perpetrated by the government
during the war years which is as horrifying as anything
the Nazi death-camp doctors set up.
One cannot
easily conclude that this widespread use of cruelty and
the nearly-universal acceptance of it by Japanese at
all levels of society as merely the result of state
control. The fact is that an autocratic regime can unleash
a certain level of inhumanity in its population,
but no government can induce such glee in performing
acts of the bloodiest, grisliest kind unless the
subjects of that regime are eager and ready to do them.
So, I would condemn the entire nation during the WW
II period as evil--and I think that conclusion is
inescapable. To argue that other nations through history were
as evil, or nearly as evil, is to sidestep the
issue; but I think we would have to look hard to find
countries with the same support for the same level of
cruelty. Not the Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Not Idid Amin
in Uganda, not the Taliban in Afghanistan, not even
the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia have accomplished what
the Japanese did except in limited and largely
unpopular (among their own populations) campaigns.
The
relative evil of Nazis, and others, will have to be
discussed another time.

Dean, you raise a lot of interesting points. I
have spent a long time thinking about racism (as a
cover all name for bias against all kinds of groups,
like anti-Catholicism) in pop culture. In part (I
confess!) some of my favorite fiction has been racist, like
the Fu Manchu novels, Cowboy movies, and even Tarzan
books. Seeing the discrepencey between that sort of pop
culture and my own attitudes has made me examine the
issue at length.
To be brief, I think the key points
are: Is the racism a story-telling device? Is it
balanced by other pop culture materials with a different
depiction? Is it heartfelt by the writer? To be blunt, I
think some racist depictions can be useful in the
telling of a story and as a challenge to our own
assumptions, and a valid expression of one person's beliefs
however much it might differ from what I think.
But
avoiding a long discussion, I think what you're getting at
is a key question: Does pop culture reinforce
pre-existing racist beliefs, create them, or merely reflect
them? I find racism rather like the on-going concern
over violence in pop culture since we are confused
about what is cause, what is effect, and what real harm
is done.
To get to the bottom line: I don't think
racism in comics is particularly worrisome. At worst, it
affronts the sensibilities of some people. But I don't
think anyone will hate a Muslim, say, based on exposure
to anti-Muslim plots in comic books. Racist beliefs
come from socially widespread beliefs and I don't
think pop culture can affect those very widely or for
long.
Personally, I am willing to enjoy a good
story even with depictions I know are not true...as
long as the story is well done, just as I love a
Polish joke if it's really funny.
What I really enjoy
is musing over what the racism in pop cul;ture
really means. And, on a tangent, have you noticed
examples of "new" and (for now) "acceptable" racism in pop
culture? Such as : All native Americans are in touch with
nature; all Asians know and enjoy Kung Fu and mysticism;
and all African Americans are playful, gregarious,
and pre-occupied with sex? I wonder if people in 2050
will look back and say "Boy, those comics of 2000 were
really offensive! Imagine thinking Blacks can't speak
standard English! I'm glad we don't have that kind of
hurtful thinking in TODAY'S comics!"?
I'd like to note
that Charlton has a pretty good record in this area. I
just read the new ACG reprint of some "Cheyenne Kid"
stories and the Amerindians are pretty well

Well, now, I have to respond! What a sucker I am
for a good debate! But seriously...
Let me just
say that I do NOT in any way condone racially based
policies which harm individuals for the actions of a
group, such as the internment of the Americans of
japanese descent during WWII. It was a gross over-reaction
to a perceived, and as you say, racially motivated.
Keep in mind that all Asians in the American west had
a troubled history starting with the Chinese
laborers imported in the 1850s and continuing to our
lifetimes..so, yes, the treatment of the Japanese was founded on
a strong racist tradition (aided by the Yellow
Peril theme popular in the US 1890-1945).
However,
it is NOT a good thing to go the other by glossing
over the social mores of almost all Japanese which
were revealed most strongly during the 1925-45 period.
The Japanese have been, and remain, one of the most
racist societies in the modern world, as attested to
they're own treatment of Koreans in Japan for
generations, and of the Ainu minorities--and in fact even
Japanese who have been born outside of Japan proper. I
called the Japanese "evil" during the WWII period for
the following reasons:
During the entire period,
the Japanese--not just the career soldiers, but
including average soldiers, people in the Japanese Imperial
government, and even civilians in business--participated in a
continuing program of the utmost brutality over the native
populations of every territory they got control over.
Brutality hardly describes the activities of the Japanese
in Korea and China, particularly. These actions went
far, far beyond any need for obtaining military
control or even to rule through terror...rape,
mutilation, torture and death by cruelty was a planned and
universally-accepted program among all ranks of Japanese. They didn't
simply kill people or steal resources, they casually and
routinely performed inhuman acts beyond even what the Nazis
and Russians did, far beyond our own treatment (in
scale) against Amerindians. And these activities were
known to businessmen and civilians in the homeland,
including forcible prostition of Korean women, the working
to death of native populations, the murder of
infants, the use of poison gas against civilians in
China...and on and on. And this doesn't even cover the
experimental program of torture perpetrated by the government
during the war years which is as horrifying as anything
the Nazi death-camp doctors set up.
One cannot
easily conclude that this widespread use of cruelty and
the nearly-universal acceptance of it by Japanese at
all levels of society as merely the result of state
control. The fact is that an autocratic regime can unleash
a certain level of inhumanity in its population,
but no government can induce such glee in performing
acts of the bloodiest, grisliest kind unless the
subjects of that regime are eager and ready to do them.
So, I would condemn the entire nation during the WW
II period as evil--and I think that conclusion is
inescapable. To argue that other nations through history were
as evil, or nearly as evil, is to sidestep the
issue; but I think we would have to look hard to find
countries with the same support for the same level of
cruelty. Not the Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Not Idid Amin
in Uganda, not the Taliban in Afghanistan, not even
the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia have accomplished what
the Japanese did except in limited and largely
unpopular (among their own populations) campaigns.
The
relative evil of Nazis, and others, will have to be
discussed another time.

The Tarzan books are excellent examples of racism
and sexism (and whatever "ism" you might have really.
Taken out of their context (and even in it) they are
pretty brutal at times. But Lord Almighty they are good
stories and I do love them so. I regularly teach "Tarzan
of the Apes" to my younger classes (15 year olds)
none of whom have ever read an actual story about the
Lord of the Jungle. One of the tougher issues in that
story is the blatant racism which percolates through
the novel. I merely point it out and explain the
social context which gave rise to it. I don't let ERB
off the hook either. He was bad even by the standards
of his day and should be held accountable for some
of his more inane comments about blacks. But the
sheer elegance and power of the Tarzan story is too
good to pass up because of these quirks.
Your
point is well taken about today's comics being seen in
the future. There are lots of odd notions which are
seen as standard today which will potentially seem
peculiar and even harmful to a future society.
I
can't think of a single Muslim character in comics.
Perhaps the Arabian Knight over at Marvel, but I know
very little about him. It seems logical enough to me
that Luke Cage might embrace Islam. That would be an
interesting aspect for the House of Ideas to
explore.

Things can get even weirder. What about
territorial sterotypes? California Surfer Dudes and Valley
girls who care little about anything beyond their good
looks, the next sale on Rodeo Drive, or the next wave;
trigger-happy Texans who get off by saying "He needed killin'",
or have no life beyond boozing and womanizing and
working a hard labor, dead-end job; the southerner in
general, narrow-minded, incestous, and bigoted, seldom
with an education that goes beyond the 6th grade; the
New Yorker, rude, crude, and ill-mannered, usually
involved in some kind of shady deal; the northerner,
snobbish and condecending to everyone born south of
Philadelphia.
Some of these have their origins in comedies
going back a hundered years, some are just
misconceptions, and some are exagerations. Some aren't meant to
be harmful.
Fiction (novels, comics, TV, movies)
often resorts to sterotypes as a way to give a
characgter a background without having to go into it. Give
the character an accent ("Yeh, umfrum N'Yawk", "Wahl,
Ahm frum th'Sayouth", "Uh, like, I'm from, y'know,
Malibu."), a certain look, and knee-jerk responses to he
action, and you have a story. Writers KNOW these are
sterotypes, and the public generally accept them as such. I'd
like to think that most people are smart enough to
recognize a sterotype when they see one.

find calling every Japanese in Japan during WWII "
evel " , as you seem to do , a bit extreme , though I
don't question your points re: Japanese imperialism/"
comfort women "/Nanking , etc. Unfortunately , it tends
to happen pretty frequently - though , obviously ,
to greater/lesser exte\nts - in war9s0 both direct
and indirect .
Many atrocities are done for " a
great good " , as the ( as we see it ) atrocity-m\doer
sees it . Pol pot , say , confining ourself to a samll
stage/country , thoght he was improving the Cambodian
people/country . He was following Maoist doctrines - a lot of
people who said positive things about Chairman
Mao/Maoism , or the Cultural Revolution , in the ( stick
just at home ) the U.S. , in the Sixties and Seventies
, would probably not like to admit to saying them
now . Of course , to be cynical , fashions change .
The U.S.'s economic might is heavily built on African

Ditko's Charlton horror work for Charlton is
featured in the much-delayed but latest issue of Comic
Book Marketplace which hit the stands yesterday. The
thing came with three alternate covers, but I selected
the beautiful Ditko one which features art from an
early Haunted cover I believe. (I'll check
that.)
I have yet to read the article but it seems to
focus on his later stuff from 1969-1975 and features a
checklist of his Charlton work for this period. There are
also some neat color cover reproductions. Also there
are Timmy the Timid Ghost cover reproductions as
well.
Good hunting.

In a magazine (alter ego??) several months ago I
read from cover to cover, that was an all Charlton
issue, the take I got on why DC used Thunderbolt in the
12 issue Thunderbolt (Peter Cannon) comics series
was: yes, Pete Morisi legally bought the legal rights
to Charlton's T-bolt character,(which he himself
created), but DC, being a corporate giant, used T-Bolt even
though Pete said no, as,BEING a corporate giant, DC, in
turn owned by Warner, (the largest entertainment
company in the world (by the way) realized that one man
(Morisi) couldn't take that on and win. Where would he get
that kind of money for a lawsuit?? DC/Warner could tie
it up in court for years. To site another example of
how the rich bypass justice, how many people really
believe O.J.Simpson didn't kill those two people,
including his wife????
Once DC's T-Bolt series failed,
they only then the rights were Morisi's. EG: they had
milked the character, and had no more use for T-Bolt.
Ironically, I like DC's T-Bolt character better, but doing
the series under these conditions I firmly believe to
be immoral, and criminal.

I decided to clarify moreso that seemingly
blatantly "apples and oranges" comparison of DC's using
T-Bolt (when Pete Morisi clearly, legally owns all legal
rights to the character), and the alleged murder of two
people by O.J. Simpson.
On the surface, such a
comparison seems silly. What I mean was: in both instances
here we have 2 rich entities; one a huge
corporation...Warner/DC, and another a world-known former sports star,
newsannouncer, and yes, movie star. Both are filthy rich beyond
measure.
In both instances money won out. I've already
explained the DC example, in my view.
With O.J., his
highly paid lawyers kept a jury sequestered for many,
many months, unable to see their families, basically,
prisoners of the trial until they finally got fed up and
"decided" that O.J. was "not guilty". Meaning, they didn't
find him innocent. The legal term "not guilty" in this
case meant his guilt could not be proven beyond a
shadow of a doubt. And, the jury was fed up and wanted
to go home and resume their lives. the MOGULS in
both disparate cases won because of money, not because
they were right or innocent. And in both cases,
innocents suffered. In my view, this move on the part of DC
was worthy of Marvel....for Marvel has spent decades
doing unworthy, slimy tactics like this. Feedback?

...Well , as much tendency as I may have a
tendency to want to root for DC...all BIG COMPANIES ( and
little ones , and individuals , too ) , generally , tend
to do thing like this...Do have a source of X-tra
dirt , relating to Marvel ! I'd love 2 read it
!!!!!
I had , and posted about , that Comic Book Artist
( I believe - not Alter Ego , though , they're from
the same comp. !!!!!!! ) issue , even , specifically
, the story 'bout the rights re: P.C.-T. . As I
recall it , between the ints. w/PAM an' D. Giordano , it
appeared that
(0) After Charlton shut down - or ,
rather in their lengthy process of shutting down , since
they published stuff well into '86 cover dates , at
least , but , the most obviously , I guess ,
"
desireable " stuff , the Action Heroes , were DC's by ,
what? , does anyone remember ?
Didn't that " DC
CHALLENGE " mark their first DC publication , or , WAS it "
CRISIS " ? And , was PC-T with them , at that point , or
later ? I AM , I've realized , woikin' from mem'ry here
?
(1) I do recall a " an outfit in Australia ended up
with the rights ..." to the Action Heroes Not , I
guess , E-Man , since I believe he was , already? ,
being published elsewhere by --- 83? '84 ? Well ,
sticking just to PAM's pride & joy -
" AN outfit in
AUS " , but I guess , PAM somehow thought he'd got it
back - until -
DC announced they wanted to do it
, responded to Pete's objections with " Nyaahh
nyaahh nyahh , we've got more lawyers than you " ,
published the flop PC-T series - at some point , I remember
them mentioning that they had a new origin of PC ,
drawn by PAM , that might appear in a " SECRET ORIGINS
" annual , so , I guess Pete might've - reluctantly
- gritted his teeth and decided to go along with
the program .
(2) In his interview , Dick G. came
across all very noble and nautical , saying " Although
it wasn't my doings , I let Pete think that I was
behind the screwing of him by the DC lawyers ( An
approximation . ) " , sort of falling on the sword , as it
wuuzz - A captian must take the blame , for his men ! -
Apparently , after th' PC series flopped - What ? DC had an
attack of concience(sic!) ? Perhaps , uh , PAM either
padded along...and/or he either had more of a case than
you might think...and/or DC decided that it wasn't
worth th' trubble...Or , perhaps , the implication is
that , especially since the series flopped , D.G. was
able to convince
the highers-up , " aaww , let it
ggoo " ?
That's one problem with the " oral history
" approach , which TwoMorrows' books generally
stick with...of course , MAYBE , at least that's the
implication , D.G. perhaps did something that he didn't want
to publically boast around/have printed..." juice "
is , after all , a private matter by
definition...All of the 70s-generation characters that ended up
with their (co-) creators , were , um , 70s characters
!!!!! Perhaps signed/bought up under a different
front-office regime/contract situation - PC was Sixties all
the way , man .
Hey , perhaps - I'm not telling
an ethnic joke just because PAM and D.G. are Italian
, after all , it's mentioned in the CBA issue ( as
a rumor , to be downplayed )...And , there's that
lil' matter of EXACTLY HOW ( speaking of the wonderful
, high-prestige , funny book business !!!!! ) the
two partners behind C. HAPPENED TO MEET each
other...Could we have that long-kept secret story arc/direction
for the next season of
" THE SOPRANOS " ?

Over the weekend I got a trade paperback from ACG
called "Beyond Space". It appears to be a collection
from some of Charlton's s/f books, sporting art by Jim
Aparo, Steve Ditko, Pat Boyette, Wayne Howard, Steve
Ditko, PAM, a couple of artists who look familiar (but I
can't place) and maybe Jeff Jones. And more Steve
Ditko. The Jones story I am pretty sure I saw originally
in a Flash Gordon comic (and I remember Pat Boyette
doing one too), and one story has "Space War"
emblazoned across the tops of the pages. The story leads off
with the adaptation of "Destination: Moon" I already
have. There are three interlinked stories that I
believe were printed as a single issue of one of the
books: It starts with art by Aparo, then a section by
Ditko, and finishes with Pat Boyette. At $10.95 it's a
little steep, but hey, I got overtime this week.
Now
if they'd just reprint that story by Jim Aparo about
the humanoid robots...

Hi Jim! I thought you would like to know that
nothing comes up at ebay under either rosjim nor rosjim.
(with a period after it.) Try it yourself. It says
entry not found. Please let us know what we should
input to bring them up, as I am very interested in
checking out your auctions. Thanks! Phil

ACG is at least keeping some of this stuff in
print. Given the price of some other comics, the prices
of these packages is getting more and more
reasonable.
I think I know the Jeff Jones story you're talking
about. I too have that Destination Moon reprint. It is a
pretty nice adaptation of the film.

Phil and everyone else,
I went to "search"
on the top bar, then clicked on "By seller" (the
third tab over), then entered "rosjim" and my auctions
came up. Maybe it was not working when you tried for
some reason, but try again, it should work
now.

Somewhere in the bowels of my collection there is
an old Charlton comic that I remember having a
Nightshade backup story. This particular Nightshade story is
interesting in that Tiger, (from the Judomaster series) has
grown up, and is an adult---a grown man, and with a
normal haircut. He appears plain clothes, not in his
costume. Presumably, he has retired, but still a young
man, probably in his mid twenties to early thirties.
My question is: can anyone who has this issue tell
me what title and issue # it is, so I can yank and
re-read it? Thanks! Phil

I am away from my collection right now Chrome,
but I have the issue you are talking about. I will
try to remember to dig it out and give you the
details as per number and such on a later post unless
someone beats me to it.
Nightshade was the regular
backup feature in Captain Atom after the Blue Beetle
went on into his own feature, so I'm reasonably sure
it is one of those issues and likely a very late
one. I'm guessing either issue #88 or #89 but I will
check it.

I found it. Captain Atom #89, the last in the
series featured the Nightshade backup story you mean. It
shows some of Nightshade's early years and her
training. She was mentored by Judomaster's "Tiger". This
story is told as memory of Nightshade's. The neat thing
is that when this neat little story by Dave Kaler
and Jim Aparo was first published the timelines were
just right for Tiger to be an adult in time to train a
young Nightshade.
I hope that helps.

I purchased and old comic book called "Heroes,
Inc." #2 (having gotten #1 several months ago). It is
from the mid-'70s, and contains Wally Wood's Misfits
and the first appearances of Cannon (with art by
Ditko and Wood).
Now, sometimes I indulge in a
little quirk of mine and read the indicia (First comics
had the best ones), and this one set me to
thinking...
An outfit called CPL is involved, and ediorial
offices are in Derby Connecticut. I know Charlton was
CDC, but still...
Does anyone know if there was a
connection?

Thanks Dean, and right you are! Tiger as an adult

that another famous Charlton Action Hero (Son of

appeared in " Heroes , Inc. " Number One about the very
late Sixties , then , had its lengthy run as a
newspaper strip in Army papers... I recently bought ,
although I can't access it just now , this gigantic
Fantagraphics TPB reprinting the entire OVERSEAS WEEKLY ( Or
whatever it was . ) " CANNON " , I recall it
saying
that " H. , I. " #1 was the first CANNON ,
and , I
don't recall a reference to a #2 at all ! Is this a
mid-70s reprint of Number 2 ? I recall the original
Charlton Spotlight being put out by CPL/Gang Publications

stories which first were in Charlton mags , and their

Heroes Inc. #2 says that it is published
annually, and it is not a reprint (supposedly). It is
magazine size, unlike #1, with a color cardstock cover and
B&W interior art. There is a Black Angel story by
Mike Vosburg, and a couple of pin ups by Anthony
Tollin. The inside back cover is a pin-up of some chick
with a knife, The Punisher, and Dominic Fortune drawn
by Howard Chaykan. Inside front cover is a modified
Dynamo picture by Wood.
I have the Fantagraphics
comic book versions of Cannon and Sally Forth.
Yeah, it does say "CPL/Gang." in one place.

Daglob I found your post interesting on the
Cannon periodical. Something you said brought back a
memory. You said a backup illustration contained The
Punisher, Dominic Fortune, and "some chick with a
knife"
While I haven't seen this illustation, if that woman in
the illo wears a dark outfit, with a mask, and blonde
hair, she is almost certainly Marvel's old character
THE HUNTRESS. That's right, I said Marvel's The
Huntress, not DC's. You see, in my collection is a black
and white one-shot magazine called MARVEL SUPER
ACTION#1. The lead story is a Punisher story, and has a
nice painted Punisher cover. It also has a Dominic
Fortune story, and finally a HUNTRESS story. A chick in a
black costume, a mask like zorro's, and long blonde
hair spilling over the top of it. Her black blouse, of
course was opened, exposing lots of cleavage. Remember,
this was a 70's b & w "adult" magazine. In it, The
Punisher story has him going to bed with a hooker, who
tries to stab him to death. He shoots her. Anyway, THE
HUNTRESS was Bobbi Morse. She only appeared once as THE
HUNTRESS. Later, her superhero identity was MOCKINGBIRD.
She later married Avenger Hawkeye, and was later
killed. My belief is that the illo in mag you mentioned
may be an ad for the one-shot Marvel Super Action,
even if it featured Morse in plainclothes. Can you
describe to me the appearance of the girl in the
illo?

It should probably be mentioned as well (as you
may find it interesting), that when Bobbi Morse was
THE HUNTRESS, she was also a SHIELD AGENT, or former
SHIELD agent-I forget which. Her lover at the time (in
MARVEL SUPER ACTION) was murdered, and the story therein
was about revenge. As they say, there is no wrath
like that of a woman scorned-or peed off, in this
case....

Y'know, I have that mag too. I'll have to look it
up when I get home.
The knife chick does look as
you describe her.
Descriptions of HI #2 say
there's a Byrne pin up, but I haven't found it yet. I
think they're confusing the A. Tollin pin-ups with
Byrne.

Interesting, Daglob. So the illo does look as I
described, eh? Frankly, I thought she was a much more
interesting character as The Huntress than as the later
Mockingbird. Talk about watering down a good concept! Possibly
as DC had the rights to the Huntress name? Mayhap
they complained? I am almost sure that her second
appearance (as mockingbird) was in Marvel Team Up, but
interestingly, in MARVEL SUPER ACTION#1 (b&w magazine one-shot),
the character says she used to hang out with Kazar.
My question (to anyone reading this) would be: what
Kazar titles and #s did she appear in? Obviously, those
appearances would pre-date Marvel Super Action. Probably
Astonishing.... title or early 70's Kazar series. Hey, if anyone
really wants to impress Daglob and myself, if you can
provide that info, I will
be...well....ASTONISHED!
On another topic, I vaguely remember a Charlton
costumed superhero called THE PRANKSTER, garish,
multi-coloured costume, pretty sure drawn by Jim Aparo. Anyone
know where that appeared? Pretty sure it was a
one-shot. Heck, I may even have it.....I bet Dean can tell
me. Hey, Dean, I have hurled the gauntlet! What say
you, sir? Smile.

Daglob, another interesting one-shot in my
collection, also a Marvel/Curtis b & w magazine, is MARVEL
MOVIE PREMIERE, which is a comic adaptation of the Doug
Mclure (actor)-starring the Land that time forgot. Nice
art in this one, and, while on the topic of rarities,
a few years ago (to meander incredibly
off-topic).... a few years ago my friend Dave Darrigo in Toronto
(he was a comics writer AND comics publisher (best
known for THE WORDSMITH comics series (which was highly
praised by Harlan Ellison).....anyhoo, a few years ago,
Dave sent me FREE an original Stan Lee "Secrets Behind
The Comics" book, published in 1947, incredibly rare,
and mint. I was flabbergasted. Dave and I used to
work together when I lived in Toronto, at Dragon Lady
Comics Shop on Queen St West. He was the manager, I was
the assistant manager. We have stayed in touch over
the years, and occasionally visit each other. Right
now he has a movie screenplay in to the major
studios......

Charlton Premiere?
>Heck, I may even have

I DEFINITELY have it if Aparo drew it! I'm not sure
about the name Prankster tho. I remember Punch &
Julee(?) as villains from Capt. Atom(?).
I bought
virtually all of the Giordano Charlton action hero comics
off the newsstands.
I disliked the Peacemaker
concept so I didn't buy that one but I regret that I only
bought Fightin' 5 intermittently.)
I didn't keep
Judomaster -- which I kinda regret.
& I didn't keep
my complete collection of pre-Ditko Silver Age Blue
Beetle nor Son of Vulcan nor Hercules.
But I do
have all the Charlton non-reprint Captain Atoms -- &
even all the 10 cent Space Adventures with Captain
Atom!!! I also have all the Charlton Thunderbolts -- I
really liked Pete Morisi's can-do action hero. I have
all the Giordano era Charlton Premiere issues,
Ditko's Blue Beetle, the Question, & various other
Charltons including various 10 cent Charlton westerns, some
Ditko weird stuff, & some other mostly bad Charlton
sci-fi.
I have all the Doomsday + 1 & Charlton E-Man
too.
& I have a stack of Charlton ghost comics from the
Giordano era to right after he left.
If I get a
chance, I'll search my chaotic back room & see if I can
find Prankster.

What I really envy is that you are organized
enough to find a specific issue! In my place, I'd be
lucky to find a specific title! Some of us are just not
on top of things! One of these days I'll get
organized. But then...what about the surprise that occurs
when yopu accidently find a comic you were looking for
6 months before? Hmmmm...

For those of you who enjoy Kirby's work; I
started a club. You can comment on his work on the
Eternals or the DC comics work...even Captain Victory. I'd
love to see comic covers from the Kamandi run and his
unfamiliar DC comics work. I'd like to see as many cover
scans from Kirby fans. You can comment on the scans I
have posted from the Eternals
at...http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/artofjackkirby

Welcome to the Charlton Bullseye. I would have
welcomed you before but Yahoo hasn't been letting me
access the latest messages. I could see them, but I
couldn't open them up. I especially pleased to see an
E-Man fan and (Hoorah!)an E-Man homepage. I loved your
site.
In particular I appreciate your link to the
Supernatural Crime page with the ongoing Joe Staton work. I
was totally unaware of this project. It looks dandy
indeed.
Glad to have you!

In my last post, the title is a little deceptive.
I really didn't mean to imply that Chuck Cuidera
was the original creator, only that he was "a
creator", as in "someone who worked on the Blue Beetle",
btw. Just wanted to clarify.

Hi folks a few days ago I asked where in Charlton
comics a one shot called The Prankster appeared. Yes,
his name was definately the Prankster, it was a
charlton comic, featured a costumed and masked superhero
by that name in a multi coloured costume, and
definately by Jim Aparo. I also know it was a one shot, and
a backup strip, but can't remember WHERE he
appeared. Any takers?
Thanks phil/chrome

The Prankster made his first (and only)
appearance as a backup strip in Thunderbolt # 60 (Nov 1967).
The story was written with tongue in cheek by Denny
O'Neil. The art was by Jim Aparo. As chrome said, he had
a multi-colored costume: red, blue, green, black,
orange, and white. Too bad this was the last issue of the
title. This could have been a fun little
strip.

HMMM. Is interest in this site waning? I haven't
seen anyone post to it in a little while. I recently
located a dealer who I got all Charlton Bullseyes
(magazine ,not the comic), the rare Charlton Portfolio
(contained the unpublished Ditko ted kord Blue Beetle#6),
AND all the Captain Atoms I still needed from his
earliest Space Adventures #33 up, originals. As you might
suspect, this all cost me a king's ransom...

I'm right here. Glad to know you're still
checking in. Truth to tell, I've had little Charlton news
to share recently. I think of this club like I think
of the company that inspired it, in that it may keep
a low profile but it keeps on going.
I envy
your additions. I would love to locate a few more of
those old Caps and the last Bullseye still eludes me.
I'm sure they did cost a pretty penny (or several
hundred).

Does anyone know anything about Keith Giffen's
Peacemaker, and if it was different than Kupp's version? I
heard Keith was supposed to do a version for Action
Comics Weekly, and it never materialized. I think it'd
be cool if Keith resurrected good ole' Christopher
Smith , maybe even for the Suicide Squad. He's too
original of a character to lose and I'm sure Keith's
version would do him justice.

I'm pretty sure Giffen did the drawing of
Peacemaker for DC's Who's Who series. It was the classic
look as I recall. But outside of that, I'm unaware of
him doing the character elsewhere, but then I'm no
expert on the DC treatment of these characters.

Actually, Dean, even without looking it up, I
remember the visual of Giffen's Peacemaker. The helmet
went down over the nose (unlike the original)---and
the boots were fold-over blue---Cap America type, but
the fold overs went right down to the ankles. It
looked like a drawing by a 3 year old. Personally, I
think my 6 yr old nephew can draw better than
Giffen...
On another topic completely, all Canadians are
HORRIFIED at these cowardly terrorist attacks on New York,
Washington, and Pittsburgh. We are with our close neighbors
the Americans in this time of grief, sorrow, and
abject disbelief!!!

Thanks, Dean. But frankly, I simply got lucky. I
spoke to the right dealer at the right time:at a time
when he had ALL (wonder of wonders!!!) the charlton's
I needed and had sought for decades, and
coincidentally, at a time when I had the actual CAPITAL ($) to
buy them all. And that, my friend, is not often. When
I got the Bullseyes (magazines), I was surprised.
However, when I got the extremely rare CHARLTON
PORTFOLIO---I was ASTONISHED!!!
Phil As we all know, the
unpublished Ditko Blue Beetle#6 is in this. I wonder what the
(likely very low) print run was on this fanzine??

I totally agree. PAM's wonderfully odd way of
presenting action was static (a valid criticism) but it also
had a elegance not usual with most comic art. They
almost have a sculptural feel, not at all unlike high
Greek statuary which seems to capture a moment in
time.
PAM's tendency to ceaselessly repeat his frames limits
his capacity for expression, but he certainly told
his stories in memorable ways.

A lot of "old" comic book artists do this: Bruno
Premani, Curt Swan, Hal Foster, Wally Wood, Alex Raymond.
If you look close, the figures are usually in
balance, ready for their next action. It does look posed
(and may have been), but I don't really consider this
a detraction from the art. Other artists, like Jack
Kirby and Gil Kane for example, put their figures off
balance and make them appear more dynamic (stored enerngy
and all that). Again this isn't a flaw.
PAM seems
to be a kind of "unsung hero" of the comic world.
All of the work he did that I've seen was
well-crafted, well-paced, and highly competent. Maybe
"professional" is the term I'm looking for.

I never knew of Mercury Man from Space Adventures
until someone in our "club" mentioned him. I looked a
Space Adventures cover that had him on it. Can anyone
tell me anything about him? Was he a superhero?
Recurring character. I am curious to know anything anyone
can tell me about the character, history, origin,
background. Thanks. Also, anyone care to discuss Charlton's 2
series (titles) each of Six Million $ Man, Space:1999
and Emergency? I don't have the Emergencies,but have
all the others. In the guide, the Emergencies are
worth more, probably cuz most people didn't collect
them, and now ergo I bet they are scarce. Some great
art in Six...and Space...Norem,Neal Adams, Joe
Staton, lots more like Gray Morrow, etc.

I have memories of the Space:1999 by John Byrne.
It was one of his first works after Doomsday:2001 if
memory serves...as Mr. Spock would say. I loved the
villians in the 1999 series and it was more action packed.
I even bought the first few Space: 1999 black and
white issues. Liked the Neal Adams cover for the Six
Million Dollar Man.
That was my favorite show at the
time. In 1975 TV was not very Science Fiction friendly.
I thought it was much better written than the
Incredible Hulk. The TV movies were good, however the good
Hulk episodes were far and few. I believe it must have
been a tv training ground for teaching writers to
write formula tv scripts.
This was before the
Star Trek reruns played endlessly in my town. After
the Motion Picture I started watching Star Trek. I
would only watch Spock episodes until the motion
picture. Though it was slow moving in story... I was
facinated...as Spock would say...with a space ship exploring the
unknown.

I adored this series at the time. Now I see the
weaknesses, but back in those sf-starved times it was a
blessing indeed.
There was an illusion that it was
more "realistic" than say Star Trek. I think the new
Trek series actually will owe more to 1999 than to the
original Star Trek series itself. The use of shuttles, and
the very real sense that airless space existed just
beyond the bulkhead makes for a gripping environment for
storytelling.
The work that Staton and then Byrne did on the color
series is wonderful. Both clearly were allowed to play
with the concepts and opened up the storyline quite a
bit. The B&W series was more true to the TV show, and
thanks to Gray Morrow and company features some really
fine comic SF storytelling. The covers are
tremendous.
I believe we have a few great links that feature
the cover art for both the color and B&W series. They
are well worth checking out.

This TV show is one of those which leaves an
indelible impression. Anyone who watched it can likely call
to mind the odd sound effects which were used
anytime Steve Austin made use of his bionic
powers.
This series and the Bionic Woman which soon followed
it were not to my mind Charlton's greatest, but they
were entertaining comics easily by today's standards.
The work of Neal Adams, Dick Giordano (no one
comments on Dick's return to Charlton I notice), and the
rest of the Crusty Bunkers (or Continuity Associates
if you will) was largely very well done. Jack
Sparling's later work was typical for the often overlooked
Mr.Sparling. He wasn't a great one, but he was by sheer volume
an important comic artist who more than once hit one
out of the park.

I just recieved a pack of Charlton Comics that I
won on Ebay. One of them was Charlton Premiere #3
with Sinistro, Boy Fiend. I was looking at the letters
column, which was about Denny O'Neil's Children Of Doom
issue and I noticed a couple of familiar names. One was
Mike Uslan and I wonder if this is the same man that
worked for DC then later produced Swamp Thing and the
recent Batman movie series. Another name was Richard
Buckler. Could this be the same Rich Buckler that became
such a good artist for Marvel?
Now if we can only
get Mike to do a big budget movie about a Charlton
character (and not DC's version). And does anyone know what
Rich Buckler has been doing lately? Unfortunately I
haven't bought too many comics lately and have lost track
of him.

I too love it when I spot a pro in a letter
column from days gone by.
I think Rich Buckler
has done some fill-in work for Marvel from time to
time (I don't immediately remember the projects) but
he has been taking a lot of heat in the fan
community for his wonderful skill at immitating Jack Kirby
and John Buscema among others. I love Buckler's work,
and consider him a very important figure in Marvel's
middle years.

100% of the Charlton comics run , covers and ALL
stores - even text pages too ! - of both titles , plus
lotsa other 1999'ers - even an RBCC parody ! - that I'd
found thru a posting at About.com's comics board -
However , going back to About just now , I couldn't find
( not having too much time ) the posting - Perhaps
whatever I put up here - " back in the day " ! - still
works ! Then , actually , I read yr. last parry , and ,
thought , " Oh , never mind , he has it up in th' Links

I'm still getting over what happened. I have a
distant relative who was working in the same area ..he
has to go back to work. Where the bulidings were not
affected. I just prey we can stop this madman or do
something.
I was watching it live on tv and was in
shock at the tv set. This is going to be remembered
forever. I prey that someone out there has a plan to stop
this from going on again.
This will not go away
and I've been working on my Legacy of Kirby club to
get things off my mind. Reading my old comics.
Working on cartoons and other things. If you think about
it too much you can drive yourself nuts. I can no
longer watch the coverage on TV anymore.

kirk5computer....in reply, I couldn't agree. I
think that people all over the world are in shock as
well, including most Canadians, myself included. My
background includes Corrections and law enforcement and
military, yet I too have been very affected, resulting in
loss of sleep and appetite. It is madness that people
murder other people en masse (genocide), while calling
Americans THE BIG SATAN, and Canada THE LITTLE SATAN. All
those men, women, children....Did you know, for

care centres? As crazy as that is, the Taliban will
not give up the culprits, calling the leader a holy
figure! Along with the term Holy War. Talk about 2
contrary words!!!! Sheer madness!!

I will never see an Arnold Swartzenegger film
with the same point of view again. In his latest movie
he's a fireman whose family is taken out by
terrorists. Do we have to see this movie in the theater? The
news claims it'll be out next year. I say put it on
video for those who want to see it.
A Tim Allen
film is coming out next year with someone stealing
weapons. Do we really need to give these guys ideas?
If the film makers want to really respect the
victims I say put them both out on video and forgo a
theater release. No time....even 3 years from now
...would be a good time to release a movie to see on a
large screen. I know they can't refuse to release a
movie. I wouldn't release them at all.
However
realistically, whose going to want to see these movies in light
of what happened? A year later ain't gonna make the
images of what happened go away.
A direct to
video release would garantee that the guys who have to
have that movie for their collection get one at their
local video or retail store.
I don't think
anyone will see Arnold's film. How many people saw End
of Days? The Sixth Day? He better go the Chuck
Norris route and have a TV show or do comedies.
I
can't watch these movies with the same eyes again. I
just say to myself I cannot pickup one of those
disaster action so-called epics without feeling sick.

I just emailed Jim an answer to a question he had
about Charlton Portfolio (just received it in mail
recently from a dealer)...and I thought the rest of you
might also want to know: Charlton Portfolio, a rare
one-shot that contains, among other things, Ditko's
unpublished Blue Beetle#6, lists this zine in the indicia as
"CPL #8 & #9 double issue presents Charlton Portfolio"
The ramifications of this indicia are to me obvious!
This means that...CHARLTON PORTFOLIO, rare as it is,
is NOT A ONE-SHOT!! It means that there are at least
7 other issues out there, and possibly more! Does
anyone know what is in them???

I count myself very lucky to have a copy of the
Portfolio. I stumbled across it nearly two decades ago in
Ashville, North Carolina while I was visiting that city.
I'm not even sure I knew what it was when I found it,
but I knew right away I had to have it. As I
recollect it didn't cost me all that much way back
then.
The previous issues of "CPL" reference Contemporary
Pictoral Literature which was put out by Bob Layton, Roger
Stern, and the other guys who also did the Portfolio. I
have never seen previous issues in person, but Bob
Layton's website (there is a link for it in our Links
section I believe) has some images of previous covers and
some basic data on the publication.
To my
knowledge this stuff has no direct Charlton material in it,
though Rog-2000 does make appearances in a prototypical
form. When the guys at Charlton saw what the CPL guys
had done, they then got them to create the original
Bullseye.
That's what I can remember.

Yes indeed. If I recollect correctly (I'm not
looking at the book right now) E-Man is featured on the
cover along with several other Charlton stalwarts. Also
there is an article on E-Man and Captain Atom analyzing
the characters from the perspective they both derive
their powers from atomic theory. This article has an
illustration by Joe Staton I think.

My comics dealer friend (one of the largest, and
a senior adviser to THE COMIC BOOK PRICE GUIDE, in
business for over 25 years, had this to say about Charlton
Portfolio other issues in the series, when I asked him:
"CPL-that's Contemporary Pictorial Literature--is a fanzine
series! All other issues are NOTHING like the Charlton
Portfolio Double Issue! Most of the others are a lot of
text articles with some illos, on all types of comics,
not just Charlton. Some were in digest format. the
double issue I would guess (Charlton Portfolio, which is
issue "#8 & #9"), had a print run in the 5000 range,
whereas the other issues I would guess 100-500. The other
issues are VERY rare and almost never turn up. The most
interesting thing in other issues, are minor text illos with
Byrne art, etc. They are actually not very interesting,
beyond their rarity and art cameos. I believe they made
15 issues, but I am long out of all issues." End
quote.Hope this helps answer some questions I got emailed
about. Glad to help.

Y'know, folks, I was just sitting here adding
some insight about CPL and I realized that, as long as
I have been a member here, I bet most of us don't
know much of anything about each other, though we chat
at this site all the time. How about we share some
personal date about "who is who".? I thought that might be
interesting. Heck, in fact, I will start.
My name is Phil
Latter. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I am a
former graphic designer, correctional officer, police
booking officer, Canadian Navy Signalman, and currently
(and for the past 3 years, a Mortgage and Loans
officer with Canada's Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce.My girlfriend is not a comics fan but is amazingly
tolerant of my interests.
I have collected comics
since about age 5, and have been into this hobby now
for 36 years. Yes. That makes me 41. My entire huge
collection is housed in 6 foot high custom built bookcases I
built myself, and each one is on 6 spring-loaded
furniture wheels. (I am a self-taught carpenter.) When I
need to clean or dust, the bookcases can simply-big
and heavy as they are-be rolled out from the walls to
clean. Two rooms of my house are set aside for the
collection, every wall of each room-looks like a library.
Thus, easy and quick access, each mag and comic filed
alpha-numeric, so can find any one in half a minute. Each filed
upright like books, each in an individual bag. Each title
has a comic board sticking out before each title,
with the titles name on it. I also have a large action
figure, and memorandum collection. A few "gems" in my
collection include: an original golden age Green Lantern #1,
an original golden age Green Lantern Mart Nodell
drawing signed to me, framed on one wall. I commissioned
it at the 1986 San Diego comicon. It is pencilled,
inked and coloured also. Another favourite item in my
collection is an original copy of the 1940's Stan Lee book,
Secrets Behind The Comics, and Frederic Wertham's
Seduction of The Innocent.
In addition to comics, I am
a HUGE Zorro fan, and have a large Zorro
memorandum, toy and pulp collection. When it comes to Zorro I
collect anything and everything to do with the character.
I do not specialize in any one area for that
character.
Some of my favourite characters, other than
the Charlton action heroes, include Batman, Green
Lantern (Hal Jordan and Allan Scott), JSA, Daredevil
(Marvel's),Green Hornet, Phantom, Tarzan, and Popeye. I am these
days mostly a DC fan, in terms of collecting new
issues, but I feel Marvel comics have gotten better since
the Marvel Knights series of various titles. I felt
Marvels were terrible for years and years. I would enjoy
hearing about others' fave titles, "gems" in their
collections, and background. Simply put, let's get to know
each other a little bit. What say?

Wow! how did you get to be a graphic artist? I
wanted to draw and paint on demand like that. I found I
have to do my own thing and try and sell paintings or
something that someone will buy at a craft show. I am far
from the point from making endless changes to please
an editor. I know am out to prodouce good work and
please my own artistic direction.

Hi folks! I need some help with some info. I need
to know if Dark Horse ever completed the 8 issue
mini series Tarzan:Rivers of Blood. I have issues 1-4,
but not 5-8. I am not sure if they came out.
Sometimes a publisher starts a mini but never gets
finished. Gil Kane's Edge is one example. If you have 5-8
please let me know if they exist! Thanks. Phil

...I'm interested ! I haven't checked that Aussie
Phantom site , for a while . They'd written about Tony
Isabella being hired for a new , American-produced ,
Phantom series , which , apparently , fell through...Then
, I think they may have written about another
approach announced for this American series .
But ,
of course , that's quite different from the ,
well-established , Swedish publisher doing it ! Who's the scripter
? A " regular " Edgmont scripter ? Aren't most
Edgemont stories considerably shorter than 32 pages ? My
only real exposure to them was that Wolf title , as
I've mentioned . Is it designed to be in black and
white ? ( The Wolf book was in color , until they ran

...Did he ever draw the Phantom before ? I re-saw
your headline ( Oh , I'm the same person as
wlllljoyyyyy...)...Actually , I thought that
(1) He was no longer head
editor at Charlton , when Charlton picked up the
liscence to it .
(2) When DC put out their series ,
actually , he was head editor at DC ( He's since retired ,
to concentrate more on drawing . ), then , but , I
thought , DIDN'T have anything to do with drawing it .
Needless to say , maybe the Deep Woods' info
stores will tell me that he did !
Speaking of
newspaper-strip characters , DC put out a Modesty Blaise graphic
novel , in the mid-90s , drawn by Giordano - I have it
- His art fits this sort of , " glossy " , " spy "
thing well , I think . It had been announced as a comic
book mini-series first , but , never came out ( In the
US , anyhow . ) in that form - Frankly , I guess DC
felt that the standard comics shop audience wouldn't
buy it/what audience there was WOULD buy the TPB (
Trade Paperback ) , and , since they'd announced
it/presumably had nade a deal , especially with whoever owns
Modesty . they had to proceed with it ! I like it ! It's
the only Modesty I've ever really read , really (
It's , apparently , aan adaptation of the first MB
paperback novel , from the 60s? , and , re-reading it , I
noticed , at least for one , dial phones - So ,
presumably , keeping the 1960s setting ? ) .
Continuity
question , if , perhaps , a dumb one . One of the MB
paperback novels that I've seen listed , is titled , " The
Unlikely Virgin " , or similar . Is that referring to
Modesty herself ?
Does she have some Red Sonja-type "
issues " going on ?
Do you see the Anerican magazine
, " COMICS REVUE " , which reprints newspaper
strips - almost all continuity , and all old , EXCEPT
for the Phantom ? Dailies , in B&W . It's reprinting
a from-2000 story , about a hypnotic plant , now .
To be honest , the VERY slow pacing/development
that I realize modern-day continuity strips have to
work within made the story a bit slow to catch on with
me - However , in the current issue , I finally ,
really , began to get interested !
And , speaking of
modern-day continuity strips about masked crime-fighters -
Perhaps I'm a hypocrite , or , I just got to know
Spider-Man before - For , I have a Yahoo! club , dedicated ,
specifically , to the Spider-Man newspaper strip
,

I heard it from Paul Ryan who is also working on
the Phantom. Paul is a friend of Bob Layton...and so
is Giordano.
There will not be a copy
released in the US or Canada. However you can get the
Australian copy by mail order. I can find out how you guys
would do that but it should not be harder then when you
order from a US comicstore.

Isabella is off the new US produced Phantom book.
The publisher Moonstone Books has a site with a
little info and some art previews. The only "known"
creator attached to the project Ben Raab mostly know wor
his work on Marvel's Excalibur and the Legends of
Hawkman mini. The interesting thing is that he is
actually a regular Egmont Phantom scriprer as well. The
Moonstone Phantom tittle is writtern for an older audience
then the Egmont books.
I have now idea who
the scripter is but I would be surprised if it was
not a regular Egmont writer. I bet it will be Claes
Reimerti senior writer and a BIG Batman fan. (He is also
the writer of the current Sunday stip) Most Egomnt
stories are about 31 to 34 pages and intended for colour
reproduction.

There is a very sick picture on the internet. It
is a photo of a guy in a hat and sunglasses with a
backpack, standing on a balcony, a very ,very high
building. In the background there is a jetliner bearing
down on him eg: ready to crash into the building
several stories down, with the skyline of new york in the
background. the caption reads,FBI released this photo from a
camera found in the rubble. The picture is shocking,
until one realizes that the world trade did not have
apartment bldg style waist high balconies. It was enclosed.
No 110 skyscraper bldg would have waist high
guardrails that one could fall over, or encourage suicide
over.

Are there any Korg fans out there? I loved Pat
Boyette's take on this very odd TV tie-in comic. He made a
truly silly comic into one of the 70's most underrated
adventure strips.
What do you all
think?

..om-Boom , from a band with a Bedrock
Bee-eeea-eeat...What lead to Charlton picking up the Hanna Barbera
account , anyway ? Evidently , it ended in tears ( With
H/B's forigen liscencees saying " THIS IS CRAP ! " ,
and...) , but , I guess , it certainly could have been
seen as the Big Time for C....H/B was , I guess , BY
FAR! , the biggest name in animation in the U. S. in
th' late Sixties...tons of ongoing network series ,
loads more recent past ones in syndication...Disney ,
by comparison , was
(1) going through their
post-1966 " WWWD ? " doldrums .
(2) Not producing series
for television , then , anyway . They never did until
the semi-mid Eighties , with Gummi Bears ? It was big
news when they did . Was it Eisner's ideer ?
Katzenberg's ?
H/B leaving Western/Gold Key marked the end
of a ten-year period - or , even more ! - when
WEestern , really , had had every major animated property
sewed up ? Did H/B have some whiff of Western's lousy
distribution ( As I've mentioned B4 - after re-jumping into
comics in 1971 , Gold Key titles were NOT CARRIED on any
newsstands in northern Westchester County , period , end of
story . ) , even tho people tend 2 accuse C. of being
poorly distributed ? ( Not - as best as I can recall ,
given that I wasn't - really - oh , irony ! oh ! - a
particularly deep buyer of Charltons ? ) Hnmn ?

Since it was a part of Charlton's , uh , empire ,
and it was oriented towards young people , certainly
, if in fact , a touch beyond the ' comic books "
age/the ones who moved on , does anybody have anything to
say about HIT PARADER magazine ? It is still in
business , I have established , tho I haven't bought any .
It , now , concentrates on heavy metal/hard rock (
Modern-day definition: Uh ,...Limp Bizkit , Korn , Slipknot
, Metallica , " Kurt Cobain Still Dead " . No , I
haven't , recently , heard much of it myself . ) , which
it did , starting from the early
80s...having...um...not the
most " intelligent "/" deep
"/whateveryouwanttocallit approach to writing about it . ( " DIO - King Of
Rock & Roll . " ) - Sort of going for the moron
audience , actually ! Oh , you snob . Snob , snob .
Frankly , th' name o' th' mag suggests that it started
back in th' Frank-Sinatra-as-teen-idol years - the
1940s . I'm aware , actually , that it th'
middish-2-latish 60s it made what was , apparently , considered a
first-time attempt , by a newsstand rag , to be
something
of a " serious " rock 'n' roll magazine . ( This
being pre-CRAWDADDY , ROLLING STONE , whatever . ) It
stayed with the song leer-ics , though in a reduced
degree , into the heavy metal years , and , I
Supp-Hose(C) , stays with them still !
The CBA
retrospective mentioned that a country music magazine was ,
also , the only other asset left to sell of , at the
end . Anybody ?

For sure. Fred Himes, at the time a Boyette
associate, was the man responsible for the artwork on this
one. "Valley of the Dinosaurs" was never as successful
as Korg, because it cleaved closer to its original
source material and was played for a younger audience.
And let's face it, Himes wasn't the equal of
Boyette.
I have read that in later years the two men fell
out over a business deal and that Boyette felt some
great anitpathy for Fred Himes. Sad.

I loved Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch! They were
one of Charlton's forgotten little gems. John Byrne
did the first two issues I think and Joe Staton
supplied the artwork for the rest.
Speed Buggy did
indeed get distributed for several issues. It may have
lasted longer than Wheelie. I have a number of those,
though I don't off hand remember if that is most or all
of the run. They were much more typical of the
Charlton Hanna-Barbara material and not the equal of the
inspired Wheelie.

I have seen Giordano's Modesty Blaise Project. It
was scripted by Modesty's creator and writer Peter
O'donnel (I think that is his name). Funny you should
bring up Ms.Blaise since she is just like the phantom
EXTREMELY popular here in Sweden. She is featured monthly
in the Agent X9 comicbook. The original main
character Secret Agent X9 has pretty much lost his own book
to Modesty.
O'Donnel has been very
determained that only HE can write her. Egmont has tried on
several occations to get a similar deal to what they have
with the Phantom but O'Donnel refuses to. He recently
retired but gave Egmont a looong script he never
published with the instructions that if current and last
Modesty Blaise artist Romero illustrated it they could
publish it in Agent X9.
I have never as much
Modesty as other Swedes so I am afraied that I can not
help out with the title " The Unlikely Virgin
".
I have heard of Comics Revenue but I have never
seen an issue.
I swing by your Spiderman
newspaper strip club in a little bit.

Here is some Phantom stuff you guys might find
interesting:
Planetary and new Captain America artist John Cassaday
painted a cover for the Scandinavian Phantom book a few
years back. Check it out I think it is really cool. Two
versions are displayed at the
site:
http://www.johncassaday.com/gallery_misc_covers1.htm
Classic Phantom artist Sy Barry visited Scandinavia a few
weeks back to promote the new hardcover TPB featuring
sunday-pages. He also contrbuted a painted cover tor the
regular Egmont
book:
http://www.deepwoods.org/egmont/e0119.jpg
Dick Giordano is just one of three old-time US
creators who are working with Egmont now. The other two
are former Will Eisner assistant, Marvel
staffmember/artist (Defenders, Conan, Transformers, Marvel horror
stuff etc, etc) and Valiant artist Don Perlin and Paul
(FF, Avengers, Flash, Superman) Ryan. Paul has his
first Phantom cover on-line (Colors by current Avengers
colorist Tom
Smith).
http://www.paulryanart.com/phantomcolor.jpg
Don Perlins first Phantom issue is out in a month, so
I can scan and post some of that if you are
interested. The same goes for Giordano's stuff.

Continuity question , if , perhaps , a dumb one .
One of the MB paperback novels that I've seen listed
, is titled , " The Unlikely Virgin " , or similar
. Is that referring to Modesty herself
?
The title Walt is thinking of is "The Impossible
Virgin" and no, it doesn't refer to Modesty. IIRC, it
refers to a mountain range shaped like a woman with her
legs spread. Real over-the-top action. At one point
Willie is tossed/falls out of an aiplane but he doesn't
get killed because he lands on a flock of sheep!!!

Got another ACG comic at the local shop over the weekend. It's called "Heroes Ink.", and has a Nemisis story, a Magicman story, and a Fightin' 5 story.
Atomic Mouse is in there too.

I saw a batch of them the other day myself. They
have some interesting stuff out there. I saw some of
Jim Aparo's Bikini Luv stuff and of course some great
horror stuff from Charlton. There was also a war
collection and a western one. They are tempting.

Does anyone happen to know what year CHARLTON
COMICS started publishing comics? I know they published
other things besides comics but that doesn't really
interest me. I realize that previous to the charlton name
on covers the cover graphic was CDC. Anyone know?

For lots of detail on this see the following link
to an article from Comic Book
Artist:
http://twomorrows.com/comicbookartist/articles/09empire.html
It says that John Santangelo Sr. began "Charlton" in
the 30's when he started printing song lyric sheets.
They started in comics in 1945. The company move to
Derby in the late 40's. I haven't had time to research
the "CDC" but my guess is "Charlton Distribution
Company" or something like that.

If I remember correctly the initals CDC on
Charlton publications stood for Capital Distributing
Company. Somewhere I think I have a box with that on it
that was used to ship Charlton's magazines. But right
now I don't know where it is since some of my things
are in a storage unit. When I get the chance I will
try to find it to be certain.

Here is what my comics dealer friend (who is a
senior adviser to THE COMIC BOOK PRICE GUIDE), will have
to say in his annual market report about THE
CHARLTON PORTFOLIO in the next edition of the Overstreet
price guide due out in April: "Charlton Portfolio-a.k.a
cpl#8/9-IS RED HOT!, and currently selling for about $35
U.S. in VF."
Fortunately, I recently got a mint
copy from him for $30. U.S. Of course, with postage
and handling it cost more...

Previously, a lot of folks here have posted their
opinions on ACG reprint titles. While I certainly respect
your opinions on these titles, I have an altogether
different opinion on them. Kindly read on. I would very
much appreciate some feedback on this. Earlier,
several months ago, I was buying a handful of ACG titles,
and enjoying them. However, the PULP ACTION title
reprinting the old Shadow newspaper strips kept--each
issue---printing them out of sequence, and in fact often published
following issues with parts of stories that had already
appeared in previous issues. They didn't make this mistake
once, but numerous times. Also, pages would be printed
out of sequence, parts of some Shadow stories were
reprinted accidentally over and over and over again, in
each subsequent issue. I also don't care for how they
don't even number the issue numbers on the cover.
Finally, the recent HERO Comics#1, reprinting a nBLACK
ANGEL story from the 1940's, (now that I have read it),
the ending of the story doesn't even appear!!! Thus,
the resolution of the story is left hanging. There is
no blurb stating the story will be continued in a
following issue. It looks like they simply reprinted a
story without even looking at it. Further, backup
stories never (or seldom) carry the same (or even a
similar theme) to the main story. Covers are mostly
lifted as well, and I don't feel covers are alluring.
Let's face it---that is what sells a book, right? Black
and white, cheap paper, overpriced, and FREQUENTLY
the stories are incomplete. I have now bought my last
ACG comic. I am tired of getting burned. What do the
rest of you think? Phil

Here is a question that just occurred to me: most
or all of us probably know that the 1960's
unpublished Captain Atom #90 was subsequently published
several years later in 2 parts---part one in Charlton
Bullseye#1, and part 2 in Charlton Bullseye#2, Ditko's old
pencils on that story finally inked years Later by John
Byrne. What I would like to know is---what happened to
the unseen COVER for Captain Atom#90? As, it was not
published/reproduced in any Charlton Bullseyes. And as far as I know,
nowhere else, either. I wonder if a cover for #90 was
ever done. Anyone know?

I don't disagree with that. Are you thinking
about the discussion here about the what "CDC" stands
for. CPL is the fan organization and had no connection
to Charlton before the 70's. The CDC label appears
on Charlton's in the early 60's.
Or am I
confused again? Could be.

I can't argue with this. I don't buy them because
they look shoddy for the money. (Shoddy I don't mind,
but I don't want to pay a lot for it.)
But for
Charlton fans they are a place to go for a taste of the

I've been one of the ones complimenting ACG for
getting the old original ACG and Charlton stuff back in
print, but I don't blame you for the way you feel. I
didn't get Pulp Action, because I already had the run of
reprints Eclipse did ten years ago; I had no idea how
badly they had done them. Recently, they published
Heroes Ink., which starred Nemisis, Magicman, The
Fightin' 5, Mr. Mucsles, and had both an Atomic Mouse and
Atomic Rabbit story in it. At least one page (the last
one) of the Magicman story is missing, and I feel
kinda put out, even though Magicman has never been one
of my favorites. I'd have given up the atomic
animals stories to have the resolution to the Magicman
story (I mean, I KNOW he wins out in the end, but...).
My biggest complaint with them has been their
distribution and publication schedules: I order a title, and
three months later it is "offered again", and three
months after that it is available in a "pack", with
three other comic books that I may not want, or it
appears in a trade paperback with a lot of stories I may
not want. Or it may just be cancelled like Joe
Kubert's "The Green Berets". Ot it may sell out like the
2nd and 3rd issues of Gil Kane's "Star Hawks"
(fortunately, I bought the paperback collection YEARS ago).
ACG needs someone who knows what they are doing all
through the business; I get the feeling that someone
sometimes just throws something together and publishes
it.
I apoligize if it was my doing that you purchased
these books; I didn't mention a lot of the flaws with
the company, and I probably should have. I accepted
the bad parts to enjoy the good parts, and can
understand if you don't think it's worth it. That's part of
the reason I read very few contemporary Marvel or DC
comics these days.

The casual disregard the folks at ACG have for
their comics reminds me of another company we all
remember and love...Charlton. Given the wild and wooly way
the Big Red C put out their comics, ACG might just be
the perfect successor.

Dean, I take back what I said about---in terms of
only wanting to know about the comic book (side)
beginnings of Charlton. Your explanation and link were not
only comprehensive, but very interesting as well.
Thankyou for it!

You are right, Dean! I had forgotten that the
older Charlton's (of which I have many)---had a cover
logo which was, simply, CDC---and a very tiny "logo"
at that. I think possibly we are all correct---CDC
may possibly have stood for Capital Distribution
Company, and the later CPL gang publications---using the
same letters---stood for Contemporary Pictorial
Literature. What do you think? Also, Dean and Mr
Waltland---not sure if that is your real name, sorry---while I
don't necessarily agree with your respective opinions
on ACG---I certainly respect them. But I (in a
kidding way)---wonder, Dean, if you were kind of kidding
when you said that ACG is a natural successor to
Charlton. Yep, I know what you mean that both seemed to
have a blatant desregard for production, but that is
not necessarily a compliment to either company. But I
know what you mean. Frankly, I wonder if the folks at
ACG even proof-read their publications to see if
pages are out of order, incomplete, etc. I suspect not.
The Charlton Portfolio, by the way, goes from page
18, and the very next page is page 22. There are no
pages missing, in fact, page "22" appears on the
opposite side of page 19. Ergo, page 19 up are therefore
simply mis-numbered. See what I mean? So yeah, I see
what you mean. But---which company would you have bet
on in a horse race?

For sure. My comments on ACG and Charlton were
meant in jest. Poor production quality is a hallmark of
comics over the decades. There is so much chatter these
days about quality papers and full-bleed pages and
whatnot, that the pure business aspects of the industry
are forgotten. Comics have been cheap entertainments
produced at high speed for a less than completely
discriminating audience. That is a tradition some are ashamed
of. I think that breakneck attitude is what gives
comics their outsider appeal. They are the last remnants
of the pulp traditions, and those traditions are
decidedly low-brow.
The more I read about Charlton the
more it is apparent they cared little about their
comics. Only a blessed handful took the time to nurture
the characters we remember and cherish. But that very
lack of permanance and against-the-odds aspect is what
gives Charlton comics some of the charm they have. They
are fun, because it never ocurred to anyone they
should be anything different.

I read and collect pulp reprints, too, and one of
the things so many people who worked in that era say
is that no one ever thought that the things would
still be popular years later. Most would be happy if
the stories were popular for one month (until the
next issue came out). Yet, there were people to whom
it was unthinkable to do less than their best, just
because the pay was low, producion was cheap, and shelf
life was a month (or less in the case of The
Shadow).
Funny, but until I came across this club, I hadn't
really thought about Charlton Comics for years. They
never were my all-around favorite, but I'd have to to
include Captain Atom, The Question, and Ditko's Blue
Beetle in my list of favorite characters. Still, it was
becasue of Dan Garrett's Blue Beetle that I started to
draw (I traced this BB pin-up over and over,
re-designing the costume so that it was Batman, Superman,
Spider-Man. Then I decided to change the pose...), and a
Champions RPG character of mine is named The Scarlet
Scarab.
Even now, though, I only own a few Charlton Comics,
and most of those are '60s Captain Atom reprints.
After I get finished finding all the THUNDER Agent
comics, I'll have to get to work on Cap.
I did find a
Son Of Vulcan comic with costume design by Dave
Cockrum.

The Dave Cockrum sketch is fun, and likewise in
Blue Beetle there is a costume redesign by Alan Lee
Weiss another future pro. Those old Blue Beetles really
lend themselves to tracing. The outlines on the main
characters were very thick, almost as if the book were
intended as a coloring book. These few lines and the
bright colors are what make these old Charltons stand
out in my opinion.

I chanced across the first appearance of Sam
Glanzman's "The Iron Corporal" yesterday. Just finished
reading it and the Willie Franz story is indeed a bit
more hard-hitting than the typical Charlton war tale.
Very impressive first showing (Army War Heroes #22)
though they do pull the old Charlton trick of using the
splash page as the cover. These rarely work out very
well.

Does anyone know if ACG publishes original
material? I have a vague idea for a story that would put
some of Charlton's Ghost Hosts together with some of
the original ACG characters. For some reason the
local comic shops don't carry the ACG books any more.
And does anyone know if ACG has a web site? I heard
that they were supposed to start one.
Thanks for
the help.

...Re; original material , 4 da " longest time "
, they ran a house ad announcing a Herb Jeffries
comic , an " archival recreation of a comic that never
was " , which , PRESUMABLY! , meant an original . (
Herb Jeffries - still alive , apparently - made
several all-black cast B Westerns in the 30s and 40s - I
've never seen them myself ! )
Likewise , for the
Web , a ways ago I sent - at a different Webdress - a
letter to the AOL address they gave - at that time , I
got a reply , saying something to the effect of " we
don't have a Web site up yet . but . we , will...and ,
contact us in ( a more precise time was given then , I
guess ) a few weeks , for our newsletter " , or
something like that .
I never got around , I guess , to
contacting them back , from there - And , other time(s)
that I contacted the Webdress I got " no reply at all
" , that Genesis can certainly come up with a reply
for every possible occasion , don't you think ?
CBG's " Comics scheduled/Comics conformed as shipped "
column still lists ACG - I haven't been to my shop for a
while , and , since I'd cut down on special orders , a
lot less ACG has been there ! Following you ,

Unfortunately, Randy, ACG is solely a reprint
company. They do not print any new material. That would
require paying $ to contributers, legal contracts, etc,
etc, etc. And, at least in my opinion---but I am not
parading these options as fact---ACG is a cost cutting,
low cost operation, reprinting books at very low
cost, low maintenance, and with great carelessness, I
might add. (See my previous posts) Phil

I'm answering this question 7 months after it was
asked, but the first Charlton I remember reading was a
licensed property too. HEE HAW!. I don't know who did the
artwork, but it was pretty good. Cover price of 15c, so
HEE HAW might have already been in syndication by
that time. I think it was issue #7(?). Hee Haw ran on
CBS-TV for 2 seasons from 1969-1971 and died the
unnatural death of all the rural TV shows (Green Acres was
my fave!) on CBS in 1971. Thanks Fred Silverman.

...Was HH carried by your local TV outlet at an
unusually late , or otherwise inaccessable , timeslot ? It
, famously , went into first-run syndication after
CBS dropped it , and ran into the early 90s ! (
Considerably more successfully , I might add , at being an
hour-long , first-run , syndie , in that era when the " big
3 " were , FAR , more powerful...than another C.
star , SPACE: 1999 , was . ) Especially if you lived
in the South then ( I lived in ( the TV station area
of ) New York City , and it was carried there ,
though at like 11:00 AM Saturday morning , on a ( then-
) independent ( Now a WB - I THINK . ) .
I
never watched HH myself , after casually watching it
during its network years , when , I think , its LAUGH-IN
lineage ( and animated segments ) was more apparent/a
bigger factor, until the early/mid-90s , when I watched
re-runs of then-recent seasons ( Actually , I think that
by that time it may have already been out of
production , but , ) on Nashville Network .
Was th' HH
comic good , on the , GGA front ?

Back when I started reading comics, there is no
telling which ones were Charlton. Hey, I just knew the
characters. Superman and Batman were at one company,
Huckleberry Hound and Mickey Mouse were at another, and then
there was "everybody else". And although I know I read
Dan Garrett/Blue Beetle, I'm not sure which was the
first... maybe #3 with Mr. Thunderbolt.

the shiny black eyes , and hair , may B supposed 2

Modesty Blaise's actual parentage and ancestry is
completely unknown, even to her, although she has a mix of
asiatic and european features; I don't recall any
specific mention of Arabic ancestry, though. She grew up
in a refugee camp in Greece during the War, and had
even forgotten her own name, until around the age of
12 she escaped from that camp and soon met an old
man who she took care of. He had been a professor,
and taught her everything she knows. He was the one
who gave her the name Modesty, and chuckled as he
gave it. She chose her second name after Blaise, the
tutor of Merlin the magician when he was still a boy.
After the old man died, she became connected to a gang
leader named Louge, and when he died, she became the
leader of this gang (not a street gang, of course, but a
gang of criminals). She was a brilliant tactitian, and
within two years the group had become The Network, and
had divisions in many countries. The Network dealt in
many crimes but NEVER drugs or prostitution. Modesty
loathed human degradation. She later met Willie Garvin, a
brilliant fighter with an unfocused anger to the world. She
bought him out of jail and re-shaped him within six
months to be her right-hand-man. Finally, it came to a
point where Modesty Blaise could retire and split up
The Network to her section chiefs, and live a life of
ease... until Sir Gerald Tarrant of British Intelligence
contacted her for help.
Which is when the story of
Modesty Blaise truly begins...

A pretty darn good synopsis, Doc! The only thing
you left out is that the Modesty strips (and novels)
are a pretty good read for people to check out.
(There are multiple reprintings available, from
currently a newspaper comic strip reprint magazine to the
great Ken Pierce books (everyone should check his
website for comic strip reprint books!)). The Modesty
character herself is a great fantasy character--the arch
criminal who fights for justice. I can't imagine anyone
who likes comics would be unpleased by the strips,
though I suppose the most fanatic super hero fans might
find them dull (not enough flying around). And for
those who like good spy/mystery stories, the novels are
also worth reading. (Warning--see the 1966 movie
starring Monica Vitti as Modesty at your own risk).

The good news is, though, that ACG at least
reprints some pretty good material which would otherwise
never be seen again. I'm especially glad they are
reprinting as much Basil wolverton as they are. We have a
glut of reprint material these days but mostly the
decision about what to reprint has to be made with an eye
to satisfying fans who have a taste for the worst
super hero stuff, leaving maybe 90% of past comics in
the basket labelled "unpopular". It's good to see a
publisher willing to put out material guaranteed not to be
attractive to most comic readers who have come of age since,
say, 1990. I don't resent the poverty row feel of ACG.
In fact, since much of the material is honestly
"grade B", the low-class "feel" of ACG has a certain
cachet, rather like an old Ed Wood film. (Of course,
that's just my opinion). Anyway, personally, I would
rather buy a ten dollar book of ACG material than
several dull issues of current Dc/Marvel product.
I
too, wished ACG would offer some new material, if that
material could maintain the spirit of the 50s and 60s
stuff they are reprinting. Wouldn't it be great to do a
Captain Atom story, for example, so faithful to tyhe
original stories that it could almost have been written
and drawn in the 60s? Or, similarly, wouldn't it be
fun to do some sf stories that recaptured the 50s
anti-communist paranoia, just for the fun of doing it? Not
likely, I know. I'm just saying it would be neat to read
and fun to do.

...I assume that Secret Agent X9( is the King
Features Syndicate character , who , origiunally
drawn
by Alex Raymond and scripted by Dashiell Hammett ,
started in the 30s , became known as Secret Agent
Corrigan , and , eventually , was drawn ( at different
times ) by both George Evans? and Al Williamson...and ,
who , I thought , had seen his syndie strip
discontinued a long time ago ? Maybe that same Swede. company
that does the Phantom got the rights 2 do him ? ( And
, as U pointed out , he's mostly out of his
comic?...Just as , at least until recent years , there was ,
apparently , a comics anthology mag. in France called TINTIN
, which , since no T-T stories have been done since
Herge died , never? featured T-T anymore , but ,
retained the name ?
Does the X9 re-reprint old Modesty
stuff , if O'Donnell doesn't want...Only one ( in
recent years ) U.S. newspaper has run the strip...A
Detroit newspaper ( Presumably , at least in part ,
trying to get some Canadian spillover readership ? ) ,
and , funnily enough , a recent issue of CARTOONIST
PRO-FILES magazine that U saw had an article , that , as I
recall , indicated that that was still the case

In my case, it is hard to remember what Charlton
comic I saw first, but it was most likely one of the
sanitized horror comics right after the code came into
effect or possibly one of their pre-code horror books;
my older brother used to buy a wide variety of
comics and they were always in the house as I was
growing up. The other possibilities are that it may have
been a Charlton war comic or a Charlton western. The
first Charlton comic I looked forward to finding new
issue was 'Gunmaster', who unfortunately wasn't around
long.

The official line is that Willy Garvin is too much in awe of Modesty to think of her "that way"; and has his own rotating harem to keep him busy. (Only in fiction...)

Well, instead of an ACG reprint, we have
Thunderbolt (formerly Son of Vulcan? Oh No!) #51 (I think).
It's the one with Evila. Prime PA||| art, and I still
remember the chill I had the first time I read the last
line of the story.

I'm not sure what you mean by GGA front? "Good
Girl Art" front makes sense, if that's what you're
asking. No, it was pretty standard stuff, I recall the
art looking alot like the HB licensed stuff that
involved HUMAN characters and not funny animals: Speed
Buggy, Scooby Doo. I know that one of the Charlton
artists at the time, who I believe did a lot of the
licensed material from 70-74 at Charlton, was also a
Country Singer, fronting a band in his spare time. I
don't recall the guys name, but he was probably the
artist on Hee Haw. But to answer MY question, if it
wasn't yours: No there wasn't alot of plunging necklines
and heaving bosoms, but if you like Daisy Mae from
Little Abner, you'd like the treatment of Misty Rowe
(who made B-movies, Gunilla Hutton (who made B-movies
under her real Dutch name)and Lisa Todd (who was in the
bomb of all cult movies-the Doll Squad)got from an
artist who was respectful of the material.
When I was
a kid, I remember Hee-Haw but only as a syndicated
show. In the Charlotte NC market, it broadcast every
Saturday evening at 7pm on WSOC Channel 9-Home of Joey the
Clown!
If I keep meandering, I'm gonna be kicked out of the
club!

Like a guy who uses "Cash
Flagg" as part of his name would even want to be a
member of a club that would have him. Almost as bad as
using "Larry Buchanan".
And speaking of movies,
I know that Charlton did Gorgo, Konga, Reptilicus,
and Destination: Moon, but did they do any other
movie or TV adaptations? I remember that Dell/Gold Key
seemed to do most of them, but what about the Derby
boys?

Is that a nod to the Psychotronic I jes detected.
By the way, I think Warren Sattler drew the Hee Haw
comic. He's the guy who was the Country Singer I
think!
Country Like Conway Twitty and Ferlin Husky who also made
some B-movies for some family in Florida whose name
eludes me.

In
fact , it's occured 2 me , that , th' late 50s/early
60s were th' heyday of " Giant Monster "
moo-viies...but , there seem to not have been v. many adaptations
of them , and , NONE from Dell ( The split 'twixt
Dell and Western/Gold Key din' happen 'til 'bout '63
or so , so...) - Were they considered a lil' too "
naughty " for clean-livin' Dell ?
'Member , Charlton
was , rather , a B-picture studio of th' comics biz -
if not C !!!!! Actually , heck , Reptilicus ( which
, i guess , i've never fully seen ! ) was
considered so bad , that , IIRC , American-International
SUED its producer for delivering an unreleaseable
product , before it eventually made it out !
( Since I
know you're there , I'm cont.'ing th' topic of' movie
adapt-os , over at th' Dell/GK cluubbo , to keep this "

I think all Conway's movies were DURING his
rockabilly period, though I seem to remember he did an
episode of Columbo once, and was always cast in 70s TV
(Movin' On, BJ &the Bear, Concrete Cowboys (?)) whenever
Nashville location shooting was required.
(Back to
topic)-Conway never appeared in the Hee Haw comic, nor were the
rotating guests ever featured in the comic. The Charlton
format was slightly different from the show. Think a
muppet comic where the artists pencil in the legs of the
muppets even though you never see them. So the same
retreaded jokes could be used from other Charlton comics.
i.e. Roy Clark helping Gordy Tapp buy a used car, etc,
and referring to each other by their real names.
Topic of Hee Haw now virtually exhausted-----

I haven't seen Off Beat Cinema, but used to watch
The Incredibly Strange Film Show. That's where I saw
an interview with Cash Flagg.
I wonder why
Charlton seemed to get, not just the rights to do movie
adaptations of Gorgo, Konga, and Reptilicus, but permission
to do ongoing series starring them. Destination:
Moon being a one-shot makes it the oddball.
I also
hadn't thought about the fact that during the monster
craze of the '50s, there weren't comic adaptations of
any of the great (and not-so-great [but I have 'em on
tape anyway]) monster or s/f movies. Where are Dell's
adaptations of Forbidden Planet and The Day the Earth Stood
Still? Why didn't Charlton do a comic book version of
the original Godzilla movie? And why, oh WHY, did no
one do a 3-D comic version of House of Wax?

Oy, I lived in Colonial Heights, which I don't
think WAS a town in the 1960s for about a year in
1990!
Frankly, I hated it. You could only get a beer then at the
Hopewell bowling alley without ridin' into
Petersburg.
I used to buy comics at this kid's store in
Chester. Literally, a kid owned his own comic store that
his Dad bought him I guess. Bought Spiderman #1
there, in the useless Platinum ink! Whenever possible I
drove into Richmond, there was a nice shop there across
from a huge Midlothian (?) Mall. They had a great
bargain section.
I worked for the Peaches Music Chain
for 10 years. One my best employees in that Colonial
Heights store, read comics. small world.
I'm a
bit younger than you but you can settle an old wife's
tale that was circulating when I lived in CH... Rumor
had it, that Hopewell's most famous citizen's "stage"
name had 4 letters in it, and she was often referred
to as the Platinum (not useless this time) Princess.
Since this is a family site, that's as far as I'll go.
But is it true, or do you have no idea what I'm
talking about.

My 70's experience with Charlton was rather
similar. I first hooked into the Charlton revival with
E-Man #6 and soon I was seeking out any and all of the
stuff by Cuti, Howard, Byrne, Larsen, Sattler, Boyette,
Staton, Sutton and of course Ditko I could scrounge up. I
chanced upon an old-style junk/antique store (replaced in
later years by the Flea Market) and among other
oddities this guy seemed to have a large bounty of
Charlton comics. Likely he had lots of other stuff, but at
the time I was very focused on Charlton. I was able
to pick up a lot of the sundry Ghost books and a few
other odds and ends like E-Man #5.
In the days
before comics stores of course, finding back issues was
a rare pleasure. I still well remember a particular
grocery store which for some reason never ever seemed to
clean out their spinner rack. You could go in there and
find two or three months of comics squeezed into the
little wire racks.
I think the casual way I call
in my orders now is of course more convenient, but
the thrill of discovery which came in tumbling onto
these old treasure troves of comics is
missing.

Well, Dell DID do adaptations of some monster
fantasy movies...Phantom Planet (just saw it
recently...hoo boy. Wretched...but fun), Atlantis, the Lost
Continent, Voyage to the Bottom of the sea (and also "Around
the World Under the Sea as I recall...), and a few
others as I recall ( or rather DON'T recall, meaning I
can't remember the titles right now, but there were
some because I had the thought just a few minutes ago
and lost it in the time it took to type).
A line
with your thought, it's surprising Charlton printed
those monster books as a series, and no one else did
the same. Think of all those Marvel
Monster-of-the-month comics (Fin Fang Foom! Dragoom! Gargantus!) that
coulda made good short runs! The thought of a monthly
Kirby monster book makes ME drool. (Maybe in some other
universe...)

A lot of mjy earliest charltons were bought at a
corner mom-and-pop store which sold bagged coverless
comics, three for fifteen cents. I'd buy a bag for the
one monster/sf/ghost comic you could see and get a
couple westerns, humor or love comics as well; that's
good though, for though I was disappointed then, I'd
still read 'em all and got a good taste of those racing
and western books as well as what I
preferred.
Anyone else here a fan of "Hunk"?

GWANGI! One of my first comics was the Dell
adaptation of the movie "Gwangi". I didn't know it then, but
I realize now this was the work of the workhorse
Jack Sparling. I never had a chance to see the movie
itself and the comic was the only way to get plugged
into that fantasy. I loved the blend of western and
fantasy.
There have been some decent attempts to get those old
Kirby monster stories back into print. The tradepaper
from several years back (with a Walt Simonson cover no
less) is a treasure trove of Marvel fantasy. I remember
too about the same time that Marvel tried a few
mini-series reprint runs of both the big monster stories and
earlier more EC-style material.
My dream project
would be for someone to bring out a regular reprinting
of the old Charlton ghost stories in over-size with
color. The ACG reprints seem too scattershot to be
effective, but this is pie-in-the-sky. A trade of the best
of Dr.Graves would be wonderful.

I know that Warren comics ain't the beloved
Charlton. But such notable Charlton talent like Nick Cuti
and Tom Sutton take part in this wonderful debut
issue. What it is,is a reprint right down to the
wonderful advertising of Vampirella #1 from the late
60's(those ads, those wonderful ads!!!). This one is really
a keeper. The stories are written by the
aforementioned Cuti, with Fory Ackerman and Don Glut doing a
bunch too. The art is by such 60's greats as Sutton,
Billy Graham, Ernie Colon, Reed Crandall, and Neal
Adams. Also on hand is my favorite Charlton artist Tony
Tallarico (I know! I know!) Of course the cover is by Frank
Frazetta, you know the one!
I just stumbled over it,
so hopefully it's still available. I highly
recommend it.

It looks to me to be an exact duplicate of the
original. The only differences I can readily detect are the
Harris name and the price on the cover, and the indicia.
Frankly it is very hard to tell this one from any other
Warren magazine I have read over the years.
Reproduction looks to be very good, as far as I can tell. The
techincal side of things seems to really be nailed down.
You are right that this is the funnier Vampi. The
first storline is quite different in tone, and speaks
clearly of the strips "Barbarella" inspirations. Tom
Sutton draws a very appealing Vampi to say the
least.

I once had Vampi #1, so I had to get the reprint.
I bought the first 6 Vampirellas from Warren's back
issue department, which had to be one of the best in
the world as far as what you could get. My local
comic shop had a dozen or so copies, and was trying to
figure out were to put 'em (too big to go on the regular
comics rack). I'd forgotten the Wood tribute Sutton was
trying in the Vampirella origin story. I didn't remember
the Tallarico, Adams, or Colon stories at all. So why
did I remember the ones by Billy Graham and Reed
Crandall?
Actually, the "humorous" attitude of the early Vampirellas
is becasue she wasn't a "real" character: she was
the hostess. It may go back to radio, where the host
of this weeks mystery murder theater would introduce
the tale, then come back at the end and crack wise
about the villian getting his commupence (Hey, it's how
The Shadow got started). EC Comics did much the same
thing, with The Crypt Keeper, The Gravedigger, and The
Old Witch, and on TV Alfred Hitchcock made droll
observations each week about the characters in his stories.
Boris Karloff did the same thing on Thriller (no
relation ot the song by Michael Jackson, who is no
relation to me). When monster movies started appearing on
TV, it was often hosted by a creepy character who
made jokes and did schtick between commercials (when
conditions were just right, we could get Morgus the Great
from New Orleans). This proud tradition is carried on
by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark even today. Until
her regular adventures started, Vampirella was there
mainly to relieve tension or make observations about the
I.Q. of the main character in the story.
Also at
the comic shop was the second issue of ACG's Heroes
Ink., which has another Fightin' 5 story.

Well here it is "All Hallow's Eve" so I think it
is time to share some Halloween humour I heard on
the radio this morning. Some people were walking
through the cemetary where Ludwig Van Beethoven is
interned. They heard some music actually coming from the
grave. They were shocked, but, being a fan of the
classics, they could tell it was Bethoven's Fifth symphony
playing BACKWARDS! After awhile, they heard Bethoven's
Fourth symphony music coming from beneath the grave,
ALSO PLAYED BACKWARDS! Astonished, they continued to
listen. After a little while, they heard Bethoven's
THIRD, SECOND, AND FIST symphony being played
consecutively, ALL OF THEM BEING PLAYED BACKWARDS! Coming upon a
non-plushed cemetary gardener who knew his music, and who was
no stranger to the eerie goings-on hereabouts, he
explained to the puzzled listeners that Bethoven was
simply...DECOMPOSING.

Who would win? I think that Rip Jagger would be
the purest and best-trained fighter, but sadly Cap's
shield might give him an advantage. One thing in Rip's
favor though is that if anything Judomaster during the
war was likely a more experienced combatant, at least
in the early days.
What do you
think?
By the way, there is little doubt that Tiger could
pretty much mop up the floor with the (Still-dead) Bucky
Barnes.

Yeah, but don't forget the Super-Soldier Formula.
Depending on the version of the origin, Cap's either a
little or a lot faster, stronger, and tougher than a
normal man. Judomaster is, nonetheless, simply a normal
man.
Ted White's origin in "The Great Gold Steal" was more
sensible than most. IN it, the building of muscle and bone
(and some metal implants) came first, then the formula
to give Cap an edge. He entered the war at a fairly
high level of competency. It's been so long, I don't
even remember any Judomaster stories. I wish someone
(besides ACG) would reprint some other Charlton
stuff.
Regarding Tiger and Bucky, who said Bucky would fight fair?
(I know, who said Tiger would, either. It would be
like Robin vs. Kato on the old Batman TV show.)

Judomaster would win in a fight with Captain
America hands down. Every time. At least if it was a
fashion contest. In my view, JM had one of the coolest
costumes ever created for comics. It's a shame DC replaced
it. Another fave is Marvel's Stingray. Now THAT is a
cool costume. Another favourite of mine is
Innovation's Sentry. Anyone else wanna give their views on
favourite costumes? Remember, coolest costume, not
necessarily favourite character. That is a different question

I think the Charlton Heroes were among the best
looking in all of comics history. As has already been
mentioned Judomaster had a beautifully dynamic outfit. I
know that DC might have wanted to shy away from the
Rising Sun motif, but frankly like Captain America's
togs this one is a classic and should have been
retained. Blue Beetle as redesigned by Ditko remains
wonderfully elegant as is demonstrated just this month on the
cover the JLA:Incarnations. That costume just keeps on
working. I for one really liked the Peacemaker's outfit,
even the big plastic helment. The short-sleeves were
rather novel, and gave the character a realistic look.
Captain Atom's second outfit, the Red, White, and Blue
one is one of my all-time favorites. It just works,
and while the golden one is pretty good it is too
much like lots of other heroes. The all-silver look DC
gave him is too dull oddly enough despite all the
shiny silver. Thunderbolt's Daredevil inspired fighting
togs were great when drawn by PAM but I think the
addition of leggings at DC was a good idea. Only
Nightshade looks better at DC than in the original costume.

Hey, you forgot E-Man and Nova! Sure the colors
were pretty different, yellow and orange, but they
worked well. I like how Joe Staton worked the E=mc2
equation into a super hero emblem. And Nova, she was just
a babe in her
outfit.

I won't disagree with those sentiments. I don't
think E-Man's costume has the elegance of those earlier
Action Hero designs, but the equation/symbol is a very
nice touch. The colors for E-Man were selected (if I
remember correctly) because there were already way too
many blue and red colored heroes. Nova's costume on
the other hand is quintessential 70's.

I got an old Judomaster comic yesterday. He
fought this guy called Mountain Storm. Pretty good, if a
little simplistic. Then again, it was an easy read, with
a little excitement and a little humor, and a
little puzzle, and what more could you ask of a story?

I liked all the Capt. Atom costumes except the last two from Kingdome Come and from LAW. With the exception of the gun attachment, Blue Beetle's costume is one of the all-time classics

Love that Mountain Storm. Despite his being a
stereotype (who wasn't), he is a very entertaining
character. I assume you have the first battle with Mountain
Storm and not the two-parter that also features the
debut of Tiger.
Your analysis is spot on. Comics
are comics not treatises, and they shouldn't be too
complex. Admittedly I'm revealing my Silver Age bias, but
there it is. A pox on Chris Claremont, and long live
Joe Gill!

I liked the first of the L.A.W. costumes, but the
latter one which originally came from the Kingdom Come
book was overwrought. I think Cap does best with
silver and highlights, lots of highlights.

...I don' have references , now , but I think
that , actually , I tended to like the very first one
best...It interested me to , notice that , he got the
Kingdom Come outfit , after that book proved 2 B so
popular --- especially considering Cap's rather dubious
fate in that'n !!!!!!!!!!!
Oh , hey , the current
JLA - Incarnations mini is up to issue 6 - now , over
, the Giffen " Bwah hah hah !!!!!!! " years - and ,
yepper , BB is prominintly featured - KIND OF scmuckily
, I recall , in the untold story , so you may not
be , entirely , happy , about , this - while the
back up , too ( among other things ) , retells Cap's
origin to make his original military career happen
during Vietnam ! Ah , retconning , especially when ,
it's , in tune w/" real world " events .
Also ,
what I've read ( 1 " ROBIN " story , I believe . ) of
the Bat-universe reply , to the " Last Laugh " Joker
crossover - seems to be featuring BB rather promimently -
To me , he seems too " super "/bright ( And with a
power that , despite what that " Act Of God "
mini-series implied , is really too mysticism-touched -
though , that's maybe where DC sees the Bats connection
, as a good guys counterpart to Ra's A Ghul ! )
/superscientific a character to REALLY fit into the Batman
universe - But , anyway !!!!!!!
( By/Way , when Ra's A
Ghul was introduced , in the early 70s , wasn't he ,
really , more of a Chinese - Fu Manchu type - than he is
now , with his ethnicity now vaguely Persian or
Eastern European ? Given , BOTH , the general
now-unacceptability of Fu types and the Talia romance , did DC " move
him to the West " , a little bit ? I could , almost ,
swear , that he was , mor of a " sinister Oriental "
type then . )

I am looking for information on several horror
comics that I believe were put out by Charlton between
'70 and '72, about the time that I was in 1st
grade.
The first deals with a man who finds out that his
wife and best friend are having an affair and plots
revenge. He takes his "friend" out fishing, the plan being
to kill him and dump the body in the swamp.
Surprisingly, a giant octopus or squid comes up and kills the
"friend". The angry man goes home, gets his wife and feeds
her to the tentacled monster. However, he suffers
from extreme guilt, and begins to see tentacles out to
get him everywhere. Eventually a shrink hypnotizes
the man to not see the tentacles anymore. The guy
goes home, turns on the faucet to get some water, and
a bunch of tentacles come out and kill
him.
Another is a book length story about some other guy whose
car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, and he has
to hike up to some spooky mansion where an old guy
invites him in, and then imprisons him. We later find out
that the old guy has a mermaid in the basement that he
feeds a cat too. Eventually the hitchhiker escapes,
kills the old guy, who crumbles into dust and blows
away, and is nearly killed himself by the mermaid,
except that the sun comes up and she dries up and dies.
This first came out in the early 70s, but was
reprinted again in the late 70s.
The only thing that
I remember about the last story is that sometime in
the future two people are dying and build androids
and transfer their essences into them.
I am
looking for information on the titles and issue numbers
to that I can add them to my collection. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

YES!! YES!! A thousand times YYEESSS!!!
I
have very fond memories of the Atlas/Seaboard comics.
I first discovered them while spending the summer
at my grandmothers. They were spectacular! My
personal favorites include Planet Of The Vampires, Brute,
Son of Dracula Wulf, and Iron Jaw.
Sometimes
the story lines and continuity left something to be
desired, but, ooyyy, those covers! They were a sight to
behold!! I am now busy trying to get as many of them as I
can, not so much for their monetary value, but just
because I have such fond memories.

As has already been pointed out there is indeed a
club dedicated to Atlas-Seaboard comics. Soon after
the post you replied to I did indeed set up such a
club. Things have been slow, but there is lots of
detail info in the first several posts and some
discussion since. All are welcome. The address one more time
is:

The other day arrived in the mail from one of my
dealers a NM SPACE ADVENTURES#33 to replace a
lesser-condition copy I had had. The only reason I mention it that
I had forgot the following: while Captain Atom's
(first appearance) picture on the cover is the familiar
yellow and reddish/orange, inside his premier appearance
story, (unlike later ,re-coloured reprints)... his
costume is actually powder-blue coloured, his belt is
charcoal and white, and his mask and boots are also
charcoal (dark gray), with white thin vertical stripes
down the boots in front. It's the same costume as on
the cover, except for the colours. His hair is not
blond, but rather orangey/red-like Matt Murdock's
(Daredevil)> Actually, I found this version (colours) of the
costume much more attractive than how it was coloured on
the cover---yellow and read. Interesting,
yes?

I agree Phil. The blue costume is unusual and is
rather pretty. I think in the final analysis the gold
was the right choice, but it is certainly a surprise.
I wonder if it was intentional or a mistake along
the way. I vote for mistake.

Has anyone else heard about Marvel's plans to
phase out costumes on at least some of their
characters? I understand that even DC is thinking along these
lines. Supposedly they are calling this an evolution of
some sort.
I think it is just another sign that the
companies really don't have a good grasp of what makes an
entertaining comic anymore. So they resort to gimmicks and try
to change things that shouldn't be changed just
because they think the old style is not cool. This is not
to say that comics are now a vast wasteland. There
are good comics and good creators out there. But I've
read so many comics that make me wonder if some of the
writers know how to tell a story that is meaningful and
yet fun at the same time. Say what you will about
Stan Lee and Joe Gill and others from the silver age,
but at least they knew how to entertain with their
tales.
And I don't totally object to heroes without
costumes, but I think it's a mistake to strip them from
well established characters. After all so many of
these uniforms symbolize something. They're not just a
fancy dress outfit for the hero to wear. Can you
imagine Captain America without his red white and blue?
Or Batman without his cape and cowl? And will movie
studios want to make a film as quickly about a super-hero
without a costume? Not to mention the toy companies...can
they market a super-hero action figure wearing a
suit?
Sorry I've been so long winded about this, but it
really gets to me that the companies are screwing up
again. And, of course, I'm interested in what the other
members have on their minds about the subject.
But it
might not all be lost. Maybe one of the heroes could
take a job as a Good Humor man and still get to wear a
uniform of some sort.

This seems highly unlikely to me. The strength of
a specific recognizable image too powerful a
marketing tool for the powers-that-be to just toss it
aside. What I imagine is being discussed are these new
Ultimate titles where the costumes for the X-Men were
fairly minimal but still recognizable.
I can't
see Marvel (a company recovering by all accounts but
still very vulnerable) casting off the recognition
factor of such stalwarts as Spidey, the FF, Cap, Thor ,
etc. As for DC, they have played this game a few
times, but I have little fear that Superman will be
saving Metropolis in his civies anytime soon. Likewise
the Batman ain't gonna give up the whole modus
operandi his costume supplies.
We may get a few
minor heroes or teams who will give up the cloth, but I
don't see this as a trend. Comics are four-color for a
reason.

I'm looking for these. They ring a bell with me,
but I couldn't put them in a particular comic or
issue number for you. The mermaid story sounds like one
by Sanho Kim but I would have to check it out to
make sure.

The word on the net is that Gray Morrow has
passed away. Charlton fans will have good reason to
remember Morrow's work. I myself well remember and
treasure still his wonderul work on the Space:1999
magazine. While Cuti, Staton, and Byrne were doing the
color comic, Charlton farmed out the magazine to a
studio either run by Morrow or for which he worked.
Nevertheless the work, in particular the covers were
tremendous.
Morrow has done work for all the comics companies both
large and small. His name was a guarantee of quality,
and his beautiful women (both dressed and undressed)
were visions I will long remember.
Gray Morrow
is already missed.

Hey, does anyone know whether or not Gray Morrow used to work in Ohio for a newspaper called the Columbus Dispatch?

- Well, since 'she' only appeared in that one story
in the series, I think she was pretty obviously Kid
Muscles in a frock; Mr. M. appears to have been squeamish
about publicly taking his 'young ward' out as his
escort in a nightclub (unlike Bruce Wayne, et. al.),
without at least attempting to conform to the
proprieties...

I mentioned getting an ACG comic consisting of 9?
issues of their " DICK TRACY - CRIMEBUSTER " comic bound
together . I'll discuss the D. T. content , over at No
Superheroes Allowed , though , possibly , not 2-day . but ,
anyway , it's got MUCHO Charlton mystery/etc. reprints !
About ten different stories , I'd say !

This past week I got an ACG comic about
Charlton's favorite five-man paramiliatry organization. It
looks like the whole story is there (too much to do
this week, only read Liberty Meadows 'cause it was
quick). This makes three Fightin' 5 stories so
far.

Hello, I am KM and I just joined this club. I was
looking around in the photo section and I came across the
photo album for "The L.A.W. mini-series." I don't know
anything about this mini-series, so I have a few
questions.
Who is the artist that drew the images in the photo
album? The artwork is fantastic! They are the
covers?
When did this mini-series come out? What is the story
about?
I think that Captain Atom's new look is much better
than the one he had previously. However, the blue,
red, and silver look that he had from the late 60s to
the mid 80s is still the best.
Is that Tiger
as the new Judomaster in picture 5?
Is that
Nightshade in picture 4?

KM574: Welcome to the club! To answer your
questions about THE L.A.W., this was a DC 6 issue mini
series which was published last year or the year
previous. If memory serves, Dick Giordano did the art
chores. All six covers of the mini series, when put side
by side, formed one LARGE illustration. The series
was an updated version of Charlton's Action Heroes,
Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, Judomaster, etc.
The character in the white judo costume is NOT TIGER,
but rather, JUDOMASTER himself, in an updated version
of Tiger's old costume. (Frankly, I liked JM's
original fighting togs MUCH BETTER. But I digress.) In the
mini series, TIGER has gone bad (evil, become a bad
guy, and our heroes are against him. If you are a
Charlton Action Heroes fan, I highly recommend that you
acquire this series. There is a new Peacemaker (new
character, new costume.) Under the helmet it is NOT
Christopher Smith. Apparently Smith is dead, though how that
happened has never been chronicled.I'm not happy about
that either, but overall the series is very good. Hope
that answers some of your questions. And yes, that is
Nightshade.

...That'll take U 2 Fanzing , where I post ( See
if you can guess what name it is !!!!!!! )...And
where I got linked 2 the interview in the London Times
with Grant Morrison, which I think may be , at least
in part , the source of your story , in a garbled
way . ( NOTE: I don't mean that the information was
garbled by you . Remember the old kid's game of "
Telephone " ? That would be my metaphor , here !!!!! )
Find your way , to their " Fanzing Forum " , then ,
once there , to the " General Forum " , which should
be easy enough , then , look for the " No More
Superheroes ? " entry , which should be up at or near the top
by now , which will link you 2 th' LT piece...as
well as having some commentary , most of it pretty
negative , from their regulars .
I figured that that
would be easier than trying 2 build a new link 2 th' LT
story itself , even before I noted this odd - I guess -
EZ Board tendency , to " squeeze " links , so you
can't , easily , copy 'em , even though they , as links
, work !!!!!!! Anyway , It'll get you 2 , this
Morrison interview , I just tried it . See ya !

I always figured Fightin' 5 was a contemporary
elite force like Delta Force for special missions. I
don't remember seeing WWII stories, though I didn't get
'em all.
I got Heroes Ink just about 60 days ago
so I think it was supposed to be copyrighted 2001. I
got #2 just two weeks ago. In both case, I'm sure the
store just got them in because in my area, any one
store orders only one or two copies of each. (No one
else seems to buy the things).

The Fightin' 5 are exclusively cold warriors to
my uncertain knowledge. I would imagine the oldest
of the team to be at most a Korean War vet. The 5
like Sarge Steel are products of the spy surge of the
60's.

The life of a freelancer is very hectic (if you
want to make a living, anyway), and I've scarcely had
time to work on the club picture we all voted on
sometime ago. I still plan on doing it, but when, I can't
say.
That said, I decided last night to do a
"quickie" version for the club. It's not finished yet, but
I hope to ink it tonight! Here's a scan of the
pencils thus
far:
http://www.geocities.com/lostonwallace/charlton1.jpg
The pencils are kinda loose, and were really, really
light, so this scan isn't the best. It took some
photoshop work to even make many of the lines show up.
Also, I only did 4 Charlton characters, as this is a
"quickie" version. To make things interesting, I applied a
little of the Bruce Timm style to the illo, as I've not
seen these characters depicted this way. I hope you
like this illo, and as soon as it gets inked, you'll
see it here first. I hope to provide a color version
for the club.

One other thing, can someone help me out with a
good scan of the Night Shade costume? I've not been
able to find good reference. I think her belt in the

The rumours are running rampant that the days of
Yahoo clubs are numbered. I thought that if perchance
that does prove to be the case we would showcase your
club picture right away. It would be a shame indeed if

It seems that Yahoo is converting from the
current club format to E-Groups. They merged a year ago
and it's been discussed on and off since that clubs
might go away. Currently new clubs can't be created,
and the general assumption is that that indicates the
ultimate elimination of Clubs in favor of Groups is
imminent.
There already is a Yahoo Group dedicated to Charlton
Comics (which I belong to) and so I see little need for
two. It has a tremendous membership filled with
professionals who were there when Charlton was doing its thing.
Among the names who have posted there are Don Glut,
Steve Skeates, and Nick Cuti. I highly recommend it for
any Charlton fan. It is linked up in our Links
section, but I will create a post with a more immediate
link for everyone's convenience.
It is possible
this is all rumour but I frankly doubt it, and I
wouldn't want the folks here left high and dry. I know
finding anyone to talk Charlton with is a rare pleasure
and I wouldn't want to lose touch with a single soul
here.
It is possible this place will convert to an E-Group
but I just don't know. Doc (the original Founder) may
have plans for the Bullseye I know not of.

Lycos has clubs similar to the Yahoo Clubs. Go to
http:/lycos.com
click on the clubs link and type comics in the search
box. Not a lot of great clubs but maybe the refugees
from Yahoo can change that.

Why is Steve Ditko's creation the Question
constantly under rated? I remember DC's revival of the
character without him and I was real dissapointed that he
was never asked to return. Why couldn't Steve ever
come back to those titles? Was it that they treated
him so badly?

I don't think Ditko's Question work is
underrated. From what I read his work on the Question is
considered some of his best ever for Charlton. I think they
couldn't get him for the Question because either he didn't
want to (likely) or they didn't want to fool with his
notorious individualistic approaches to comic art (also
likely). The Question is in many ways the perfect Ditko
hero. He is wearing street clothes and no one drew the
common man on the street more effectively than Ditko,
not even Eisner. I've never seen anyone get those
hats to sit better on the head than Ditko. Further his
whole approach to crimefighting combines successfully
Ditko's political beliefs with good solid comics
storytelling. Sadly later attempts with Mr.A saw the politics
overwhelm the storylines.

Very nicely done Ray. The colors are very

move that file to club pic section.

kirkm5computer,
I do indeed draw
professionally, and I am embarking on the beginnings of a comic
book career. In '98, I worked on several freelance,
license projects for DC Comics. Mainly, Batman & Superman
animated coloring books, etc.. I just completed a
CAVEWOMAN comic called KLYDE & MERIEM a little while back.
Comics Continuum ran this blurb for
it:
http://comicscontinuum.com:8080/stories/0107/05/
Unfortunately, the printrun was rather low, so
the only place to get a copy at this point would be
@:
http://www.amryl.com/cavewoman/klydeandmeriem/klydeandmeriem.htm
I have since, worked on an issue of Elvira,
Mistress of the Dark, and am currently busy on two
independent comic book projects.
Recently, I sent a
dozen submission packets to Marvel and DC, but I
haven't heard so much as a peep back from them.
At
the moment, I am pondering working up a Justice
League sample packet inwhich to send to DC.
Six
years of my career was spent illustration roleplaying
games. I worked on everything from Star Wars to Indiana
Jones, to Deadlands, to Battletech.
Thanks for your
kind words, man. I truly appreciate 'em, cause I've
been feeling low lately. Not hearing back from Marvel
and DC has bummed me out.

Loston doesn't mind at all! A very nice job, Ray!
I'm actually coloring the Charlton illo. in photoshop
sometime this week. If you don't mind, I think I'll use
your version as a colorguide--with a few minor costume
corrections. Captain Atom's mask, gloves, and boots were a
little more orangish, while his chest emblem (for some
unknown reason) was Superman red. The only other minor
thing I can see is that the Blue Beetle's trapeze
mechanism was typically colored red. I think if you go back
and make it red, that the Beetle would separate from
the Question a lot more, adding some great depth of
field.
I can't tell you how impressed I am with your
coloring though, little things aside. I particularly like
Beetle's visor, Atom's atomic jet trail, and Night Shade!
Very professional. I'm placing your color version on
my desktop, proudly.

Thanks, glad you liked it. Sorry about the colors
being off, but I was going by memory, plus as I said I
only did a quickie knowing it might be (hopefully)
used small (i.e. a club pic)
Thanks again, look

approach regarding characters , not owned by him , once he
leaves them , of NEVER going back to them , even
briefly...Thus , in recent times , when he's gotten some work
from Marvel ( Even if it's somewhat " here's something
for the old time fans/nostalgia " level , ) he won't
do Doc Strange or Spidey . Even a one-shot story .
At all .
The DC reprint of MYS. SUSPENSE/the
Question one-shot , incidentally , backed up the CBA C.
issue's recollection of how his stories - and the
expression of his beliefs - were dealt with , on a
commercial/" big time " level , by crediting one - Rocke
Mastreino ? - I don' have my copy handdee ! - for dialoging
the story contained inside it , i.e. , " Making the
story sound somewhat more like human beings were
speaking it . " !!!!!!!!!
In other words , an
additiomal collaborator made it a bit more " conventional
"/" flow " in a more standard funnybook stylee ,
boyee !!!!!!!!!

Waltsland and others who are interested in
knowing who now holds the copyrights to the 1975 Atlas
comics characters: I have found the letter which Larry
Lieber wrote me all those years ago, in reference to me
writing him about 15 years ago to ask him who did own
them: SWANK magazine, which is a men's magazine (porno)
owns the copyright , not PENTHOUSE NOR HUSTLER. Hope
this clarifies.

...In 15 years , things might've changed , of
course , but...Who owns SWANK ( hey , take the first
letter off , and have some fun ! ) , anyway ? One of
those many " sub-PLAYBOYS " - which , I guess , are far
more hardcore in what they show - and in the
percentage of pages of the mag. that devote to sex pic vs.
everything else - I guess . How long's it been around ?
Hey , does amybody else know that , for a while
anyway , CRACKED was owned by Globe? Communications ,
which owned the second division of supermarket tabs -
the SUN , the GLOBE ( once known as MIDNIGHT , and ,
I could tell you a story relating to it ! ) the
EXAMINER , I think ?????
I think that's no longer th'
case...the company that owns the ENQUIRER/STAR/WEEKLY WORLD
NEWS bought all? three others up - the recent
publicity over their anthrax ( I guess Ascroft'll B reading
our postings now ! ) bad things brought that up , I
think . As for CRACKED's ownership...
I've meant ,
for a long time , 2 write Mr. Leiber , c/o the S. F.
CHRONICLE ( now , owned by Hearst , as well as carrying th'
Spidey strip ! )
, espec. , 'member , since I have A
Certain Club...( Hey , you forced me into plugging it !

Waltsland: when I got your reply to my post about
who really owns ATLAS, or at least, who owned those
characters 15 years ago (SWANK MAGAZINE)...as soon as I saw
your reply, "Hey! Drop the 's' and have some
fun..."...I burst out laughing! Yesterday, I bought as a back
issue COMIC BOOK MARKETPLACE#77, which not only has an
article on what the REAL REASON for the DEMISE of Atlas
Comics was, but also reproduced EVERY SINGLE
ATLAS/SEABOARD COVER...IN GLORIOUS COLOUR, TO BOOT! That by
itself was, for me, worth the price of the magazine. All
in all, they published 72 different publications.
This includes all colour comics, b & w magazines, and
even titles like MOVIE MONSTERS, DEVILINA, THRILLING
ADVENTURE STORIES, etc. On a text page of one of those old
Atlas/Seaboard titles, there was an announcement of some
"upcoming" titles, which I assume were never, ever
published. These include THE CHAMELION, TALES OF THE
SORCERESS, and one more, the title of which escapes me right
at the moment. Anyone remember the name of that one?
I have got it at home, but am at work right now,
so....

...I've tended 2 think , that , " TALES OF THE

to reach the newsstands as " DEVILINA " , but , I've
been disagreed with here regarding that ?
Is that
color comic in the MAD genre that I've mentoned
remembering seeing a THE COMIC READER cover repro for ,
pictured ? " GOTHIC ROMANCES " ? What's CBM's Web site , I
, really , HAVE TO get that...THE COMICS JOURNAL
had , sometime in the Eighties? , a horses --- mouth
( Hey , this isn't that legendary Linda Lovelace
8MM flick , ya know ! ) reminiscence of A/S , by
someone , I got it as a back issue about the time - 1991

Mr Waltsland: You may be right about Tales of the
Sorceress simply being the orig. working title of what
later became Devilina. Good theory. And yes, the one I
couldn't think of yesterday was Gothic Romances. However,
this was not a comic book at all, colour (Canucks and
Brits put a letter 'u' in everything)..nor B & W.
Gothic Romances was a magazine by Atlas/Seaboard,
fiction in prose form, kinda like DC's Forbidden Tales of
Dark Mansion, but in words, not pictures. It was a
one-shot. What I wanna know is--- what was the
non-published Chameleon gonna be about? Based on the title, one
could certainly speculate, but...

As for that colour comic in the "Mad genre" you mentioned from Atlas...That can only be Vicki, which actually was a (Archie) Betty & Veronica ripoff. It ran 4 issues.

ebay. You can check out the
auction
here:

I'd love for a club member to win this auction. That
way, I'd know that this piece would go to a true
fan.
I'm such a Charlton fan, that I want to make a whole
set of these
artworks to follow. Bids are most
appreciated.

Daglob---I just spoke to my International comics
dealer for back issues. He is a senior adviser to the
Comic Book Price Guide, one of only 10. Here is what he
had to say about TALES OF THE SORCERESS: "Tales of
the Sorceress definately was not released. What
happened was, the artists and writers of it were
commissioned to write and draw it, which they did. The company
went out of business..." (For more about the reasons
for that, consult COMIC BOOK MARKETPLACE#77)..."and
that killed the project. The creators neither got paid
NOR got their scripts or art back!"
Thus,
there you have it!

The theory (according to a message from Yahoo
Central) is that we will all transition together over to
the Groups. No one will be lost. I'm a bit skeptical,
but I don't really know of a ready option. At one
time I debated recreating all my clubs over there, but
that creates other problems.
At this point I'm
just going to batten down my hatches and wait for the
change. It is possible I will attempt to preserve some of
my more precious links at another club at Lycos. If
that occurs I'll let everyone know. That will likely
be only a stopgap measure if it does indeed
occur.
Here's hoping!

There's probably nothing to worry about; it'll be like the switch from Charlton to DC.

Now I'm really scared! Thanks for the comforting
thought Daglob.
We could all end up like Captain
Atom and not even be able to recognize ourselves. Our
lives as we know them will be revealed to be one long
lie concocted by the military and we will be used to
attack our own friends.
Or not.

Or we could end up deprived of our bodies,and
merely a shadow of our former selves...
Or die and
have swomeone else take over our name...
Or NOT
die, and find out that what we thought was our legacy
alone is shared by someone else...
Or die and never
be seen again..
Or discover that our protoge has
become an immense evil while we were stuck in Nanda
Parbat, and as pennance we have to wear this really ugly

Or get beat up, shot in

I checked this site first. This Atlas discussion
on the Chrarlton site, doesn't bode well for the NEW
HOUSE OF IDEAS Yahoo club.
Actually,Vicki (1 of the
more difficult finds of for 70s collectors)was a
reworked version of Tower's Tippy Teen (Tower's
longest-running title)
You are correct Tippy Teen was an
Archie Rip-off much like Binky's Buddies, Scooter and
the updated 70s Millie the Model. The "reworking"
actually entailed new covers to update the fashion a few
years from 1966-1975. I might be wrong but some of the
lingo was supposed to be updated but ultimately wasn't.

It's very rare Chrome. I have all the Atlas
Seaboard books except for that one and a few Vicki's. I've
never actually seen a copy, and like you the first time
I learned much about it was in the CBM issue
dedicated to Atlas Seaboard.
For more talk along
these lines one and all should check out The Atlas
Seaboard Comics Society. The address

Way back in the heyday Scooby Doo was one of the
many Hanna Barbara projects Charlton worked on. And
ironically has proven to be the most successful project DC
ever inherited from The Big C. Of course the migration
of the character has been a long and complicated
one. By my rough count Charlton, Gold Key, Marvel,
Archie, and DC have all produced Scooby material at one
time or another over the years. Clearly DC's current
book is the best, though Archie's was quite
good.
The comic currently features the great art of Joe
Staton, and that alone is enough for me to check out an
issue now and again.

Shhh! Don't tell my 24 year old daughter there's
a Scooby comic now appearing! She'd want issues to
go with the Scooby shower curtains and coffee mugs.
Just a tangent here: We went to see Harry Potter and
there was a pretty funny preview of a Scooby computer
animated movie opening in May---for those of you who are
fans. (Personally, I'd like to see Scooby served up in
a Chinese restaurant, but then, I'm sort of a
grump).

A decade (or two!) ago I read some of the Dark
Shadows novels. They were sort of fun. Never read any
other gothic romances though, but I find it fascinating
that the genre grew and flourished in the 1965-80
period. I never understood why they didn't do more of
that stuff in the comics, though; there were just a
handful of gothic romance comics in all (including Dark
Shadows itself). But it seemed to me like a likely genre
for comics--romance for the girls, and a hint of
horror/the occult for the fanboy types.
I suspect that
the comics writers just couldn't do the job. If
comics were a ghetto---the romance novel world was the
sewer of a ghetto. It would be hard to write such
stories.

My last line was confusing, I know. I just meant
that it would be hard to write gothic romance comics
because as low as comics writing is considered to be,
even comics writers think gothic romance stories are
hack work. I don't think most "self respecting" comics
writers could take writing a gothic romance series
seriously enough to do a decent job...they'd all feel they
were lowering their standards. (Right! A guy who
writes Wolverine stories for Marvbel is too good to
write a gothic romance comic. Uh-huh. Sure.)

Most guys would die rather than read a "real"
romance, gothic or not. Dark Shadows was weird in that
males would watch it and not feel like they had to
defend themselves (Hey! It's got vampires in it!).
Vampires, werewolves, animates, portraits in the attic,
zombies, ghosts, witches and warlocks of all descriptions
(Humbert Allen Astredo was EEE-vil!), alternate
dimensions, Lovecraftian Horrors... that's a lot for a soap
opera to tackle.
Now to get even further off topic,
did you know that the author of those Dark Shadows
books was a man?

I know what you mean about guys not reading
romance comics. The closet I had ever gotten before was
Millie the Model, but hey...that was a Marvel comic.
LOL.
But when I was trying to come up with story ideas to
sell to Charlton I wanted to do a horror script
involving racing cars since I'd read Charlton's car books
when I was a kid. But I just could not come up with
anything that I was happy with. For some reason though an
idea for a romance story with a race car driver popped
into my mind. And after a few days of resisting the
idea of writing a romance I decided to plunge ahead
and do it anyway. But what was a romance comic like?
Suddenly I had to go out and buy half a dozen romance
comics to get the feel for what they were like and what
the editor was buying and publishing. Like all of
Charlton's output the quality of the stories and art varied,
but it wasn't quite the excruciating experience I
thought it would be. Some of the stories I enjoyed, but
after that I don't think I read another romance comic.
And I understand what you're saying about Dark
Shadows. I watched it all the time and never once thought
it was odd to watch a soap because of the
supernatural elements. Actually I thought it was kinda cool.
Maybe someday someone will start a regular romance
comic again or a gothic, but I doubt it. One of the
things that I miss about Charlton is how they would
publish a wide variety of comics. And it still amazes me
how everyone else had great sucess with superheroes,
but they just never seemed to sell that well for
Charlton even thought they had some great ones.

You may be thinking of one of the printings of
Leiber's "Conjure Wife", with what looks like a standard
gothic romance cover on it (Image the surprise on a
gothic fan's face about half-way through). "Marilyn"'s
real name was William Edward Daniel Ross, and authored
something like 350 books. Shock Press is considering
reprinting all 32 of his Dark Shadows books, by the way.

Oops! Further research on the site with the info
on Marilyn/Dan Ross shows that it is horribly out of
date, and a search of Amazon.com gives no evidence of
the promised book on his/her work ever being
published.

of a reissued 70s Leiber novel , the protag.
being..." a writer...paying the rent by writing hack
novelizations of a supernatural soap opera pseudonymously " ,
with the indication 'twas autobiographical-esque .

That may be "Our Lady of Darkness" (I need to
read it one day). But...
Getting further off
topic all the time, Harlan Ellison is supposed to haunt
used book shops looking for books written by other
writers in their earlier days. These books are always
under pseudonyms and from publishers like Bee-Line or
Harlequin. He then gives them to the writer as a birthday or
Christmas present.
It's amazing the man has lived as
long as he has.
Closer to being on topic, I
wonder why there hasn't ever really been a romance comic
based on gothics or regency romances. Granted, most
romance comics consist of short stories, but a comic with
a kind of continuing plotline would have been
possible. "Millie the Model" was a soap opera when I first
started reading comics ("They were my sister's", he says
defensively), so why not?

Wellll...Scooby is all they showed in the
preview, and a CGI house, in a Batman parody. Any wonder I
thought the whole thing would be computer generated? (I'm
not up on the latest Scooby info, if you know what I

Bee-Line also gave us another kind of men's
action. As Pinnacle they really kind of jump started the
modern men's action novel with Don Pendelton's
Executioner series. And after that the somewhat off beat, but
highly enjoyable, Destroyer series.

...I theennk , 4 , here (?) . a review o' th' ACG
" DICK TRACY - CRIMEBUSTER " volume of nine "
rebound " issues , " limited " 2 200 copies , it said ,
$19.95 . ( Which IS a boggain when taken agin'
in-di-viddle $2.95 prices ! )
Frankly , a problem is that
, containing 9 issues ( " DICK TRACY CRIMEBUSTER "
1-8 , and , the I-guess-an-attempted-relaunch "
CRIMEBUSTER " #1 , numero uno , which I thinksest I
individdl'y reviewed a WAAYY long # o' posins' ago ! ) ,
there's three D.T. stories/plots - but only one
absolutely complete story ! 1-4 includes the " Return Of
Pruneface " story , 4-8's " Toxic Trouble " story ( The
only one , I believe , I hadn't read before , actually
! ), with #9 promised to wrap it up - But , th' new
#1 starts up " Upward Lee-Mobile "'s saga .
This could B considered a BIG problem !
This aside
, the reprinted Locher daily/Sundays ( Presumably
edited , somewhat ! ) ( I'll mention scripter Collins in
recalling him once making a statement re: " comic strip
fans wanting complete/unedited reprints " Too true !
)
, even w/occasional " missing panel ( five out of
six ) space - kind of an attractive " phone book "
feel , jus' like I'm told those sneaky Nips' comics
have , actually .
Th' C. reprints are nice , and
there's plenty of them . Some may have appeared in other
recent-times ACG releases - Ah , well , that's funnybooks for
ya !!!!!!!!!
Well , there ya have it !!!!!!!!!

Coming from DC Direct in July,
2002!
Picking up the mantle of his predecessor, Daniel Garrett,
research scientist Ted Kord became The Blue Beetle. Though
lacking the mystical blue scarab that gave Garrett
super-powers, Kord turned his skills as an acrobat and
Olympic-level athlete to fighting crime as the new Blue Beetle!
The action figure features multiple points of
articulation, stands approximately 6.25" tall, and is packaged
with a strobe gun and a
grapple cable that the
figure can grip, attached to a suction cup that allows
the figure to swing freely. Packaged in a 4-color
blister pack.
AND...
Crusading journalist
Vic Sage made a name for himself by opposing the
forces of crime. But when
reporting on criminal
activity proved to be ineffective, Sage adopted the
identity of The Question, a faceless (thanks to the blank
mask he wore) opponent of injustice! The action figure
features multiple points of articulation, stands
approximately 6.375" tall, and comes with a removable hat that
has his mask attached. Packaged in a 4-color blister
pack.
There are pictures in the photo section!
Pretty cool,
huh?

I just hope they go ahead and make them. Tomar-Re was due out in November, and I'm still waiting.
Too bad they probably won't do classic Captain Atom, Nightshade, Son of Vulcan, or Judomaster.

Waltsland,
I'll see what I can do about a Killjoy drawing in the future. The problem is: I don't have much in the way of reference for the character. You have anything?

I remember an artist by the name of Cowan ...if I
am spelling it correctly....he did the question for
a few issues and it was a good comic. Was Ditko
ever called back to do stories? I know he is really
into objectivism by Ayn Rand ...and I just can't get
into his way of thinking. I wrote him once and I
couldn't get a response because I told he believes his
work speaks for itself and he will not talk to fans.
Don't get me wrong ..I love the man's work..but that
objectivism thing...I can see how he clashed with Stan Lee;
because Lee is a flexible guy. Ditko I can see might be
inflexible because he is too stubborn.

Denys Cowan did the lion share of the run that
went I think tol issue 70, plus a couple of specials.
He then went on the co-crerate the Milestone comics
universe with other creators (Static Shock on Kids WB is
one of those characters). I never used to like Ditko
or his work, merely dimissing him as a hack until I
picked up his Blue Beeltes, then after reading the
Question stories, and I picked up his Mysterious Suspence.
I also picked up his Avenging World and all the Mr.
A's, my opinion on his artwork changed. Mind you I'm
still not an objectionist, I just gained an
appreciation for his art.
The last time the Question
showed up, was in the Huntress miniseries that came out
either in 2000 or 1999, written by Greg Rucka. Nice job
by Rucka and artist Rick Burchett, and I think worth
picking up.

Anyway , it's a Howard

for this ( reputedly ) quite bad re-cropping of "
DOCTOR WHO " for U.S. commercial TV purposes !!!!!!!!!
Cool , cool , considerate WLL ( Looking sharp ,

The Dark Knight Strikes Back. If only for the
cameo appearence it was neat to see him back. Jimmy
Olsen appears as a burned out TV commentator like
Geraldo. He openly critizes the Prez and gets pummeled by
the Secret Service. It's a wild book. If you are not
used to the Sin City style of art. I always liked his
run on Daredevil and especially Dark Knight. I don't
think he was the powerhouse of a name like he used to
be in 1986 but I still love his work.
The
only way I got to see it was because you can get it at
Waldenbooks. That is my only source of comics now because all
my local shops are out of bisiness. You'd think with
the new war going on that comics and heros would be
selling well but I think the future of comics is on the
net. I would like to think that somehow all the
vintage stuff will be preserved in e book format for
those new electronic Star Trek like tablets that come
out every year. I was going to get an e bookman but
saw the bad reviews and the store I work at returned
them in mass quantities because they could not hold
that much information. I've read that they are not
fine tuned yet to a science and the manufacturers are
still getting the bugs out of them.

There is no QUESTION that this is the season to
be thankful. Even if we find a lone brown mouse and
a BLUE BEETLE or two under the tree, still we need
to remember what we have. Even if we find NIGHTSHADE
instead of fruitcake and candy we need to feel happy for
the bounty which is ours. Neither a distant
THUNDERBOLT nor CAPTAIN ATOM himself are more powerful than
the ultimate PEACEMAKER we celebrate
today!
Merry Christmas to all my fellow
Charltonians!

I don't know if anyone has put scans of Charlton
comics online. But, according to the information in
Comic Book Artist magazine, the companies properties
are owned by various companies and persons. The more
familiar action heroes are owned by DC, except for
Thunderbolt, which is owned by his creator, Pete Morisi. I
believe they mentioned something which would be owned by
Joe Simon. And E-Man is owned by Joe Staton. Some is
owned by a company in Canada, which is reprinting some
material under the ACG imprint. And there are supposed to
be other properties which are uncertain as to
ownership. As far as Charlton copyrights it seems to be one
big mess. I doubt anything is in the publis domain,
but this situation makes it hard to tell. Wish some
were though...would love to play with them.

Anyone want to comment on what there all-time
favorite Charlton comic is? Figured it might be a small,
but fun way to ring in the New Year--gettin' to know
each other's tastes. It's a tough question for me to
answer, but I suppose I'd say Doomsday +1 #1. That was a
cool series! Runners up would be Blue Beetle #1 (Ditko
version) or the first appearance of Captain Atom. Also
fond of the Ghost/Horror books too.

E-Man is my number one favorite. With Cuti's
stories and Staton's art, it was an unbeatable
combination. Other favorites are some of the forgotten heroes
of Charltons, such as Byrne's Rog-2000 and Ditko's
Killjoy. Another character that I liked, who only appeared
in one issue of E-Man was Liberty Belle, Ditko's art
was
outstanding.

This is a tough one. If I have to pick just one
then I have to go for...E-Man#6. That one is beautiful
for the exceedingly clever and very emotional story
by Cuti and Staton up front and the wonderfully
inventive debut of Byrne's Rog-2000 in the back-up.
My back up to that one is likely a
surprise...Hercules #5. This one is a total blast by Gill and Sam
Glanzman with perhaps the best work by Glanzman on the
character to date. In a time when full-page art was
relatively rare that full page shot of the mythic Atlas
still blows me away. Glanzman was hitting his artistic
peak on the series with this one. Later the book
became too pop-artish for my tastes.
Number three
on the all-time list is Charlton Premiere #1. The
Shape by Grass Green, the Tyro Team by Skeates and
Spookman by Boyette are a tough trio of features to beat.
What a great book this is. Talk about a range of
atmoshperes...this one has it.

ACG has reprinted what looks like it might be the
first two issues of "This Magazine is Haunted" in a
single volume. ACG has been discussed often here, so
bear in mind, I'm not recommending, just informing.
What's neat is that it has the Charlton emblem in the
corner...

My favourite Charlton of all time? That is easy!
But, I forget the issue #. My fave Charlton is the
Judomaster issue wherein The costumed Japanese THE ACROBAT
character is unmasked by JM, and his girlfriend Susikawa
(Acrobat's sister), upon learning The Acrobat is her
brother, calls him a fool. Both the story and art are so
beautiful . I think it is issue #97 but I could be wrong.
The Acrobat was cover-featured in 2 issues but
appeared in 3 issues, one, a cameo. I am also very fond of
the first appearance of the Cat in Judomaster. And,
what a neat cover that was, with the Cat menacing JM
with a bokken...! Anyone else like these books? JM
remains my favourite Charlton here.

Favorite Charlton comic? That's a tough one as
I've been a long time fan of the company. My first
Charlton was Atomic Mouse so that would get a nod for the
funny animal stuff. But, if I had to pick one, I guess
it would be Charlton Premiere #2, which contained
Children of Doom by Denny O'Neil. But I can't mention
favorites without saying Captain Atom. That great Ditko art
and the concept just really got to me. To me that was
one of the most negleted characters who really could
have been a big star. Hate what DC did with the
character though. And I can't slight E-man as he is a
favorite too. Who else but Charlton would publish some of
the titles they did? I think that is one of the
reasons I liked them. They did a wide range of titles.
Why they never really hit with super-heroes when
everyone else did is a mystery.

Thanks a lot for the tip. I'll give it a look
later today when I venture out for a little light
comics shopping. That is comic for which I have no
examples.
I too love those old logos. It gives the reprints a
neat sense of history they lack without
them.

Dean,
I received my copy of "The Comic
Book Guide for the Artist*Writer* Letterer" the other
day. I have to say that it was pretty disappointing.
It really doesn't have much to say. It's utterly
brief, and hardly helpful in any way. Still, it is nice
to finally have it after 25 years for it! Always
wanted to get it as a kid. If you still want, I can
attempt to scan it sometime in the future, or if you'd
like, I can run off a copy of it at Kinko's for
you.

That would be great Loston. I think everyone here
would love to get a glimpse of that old bit of stuff so
scan if you can. I know what you mean though about
finally getting your mitts on something you've yearned
for years on end. It can sometimes be very
anti-climatic indeed.
Thanks!

Everyone else has made great choicers and my
first thought was to say my fave Charl;ton book was the
1st appearance of Capt. atom. However, after a couple
seconds, the one C. comic that made me sooo happy to get
that I still remember it to this day was the giant
Gorgo-Konga reprint, showing Ditko at just about his best
(after his early stuff in the 50s). Getting a "giant"
24-center comic filled with these giant monsters was a
trteat as a teenager and I was eager for more, and it
remains a "special" event in my memory. It was a darn
good comic deal for the time.

I know that the guide is really thin, but there
wasn't anything else at the time that gave any sort of
instructions on how to do comics professionaly. That Charlton
even came out with such a guide made them unique. No
other company had anything for the fledgling pro. And
before that I had no idea what sort of form to use for a
comic book script. It was that guide that enabled me to
write a script and sell it to Charlton. That little
guide was not a disappointment to me. It was a godsend.
I wish I still had a copy. Used mine so much the
covers tore off and I think I lost it in a move.
I
was wondering if you had the first printing with the
color cover or the second with the b&w cover. I don't
remember what it was, but their were slight changes from
the first printing to the second. I think it was in
the selection of illustrations used for some
sections.

My favorite Charlton comic purely as "reader" and
not for its nostalgia qualities would be Doomsday +1
or E-Man. These were the only books I remember
buying as a kid and not having them "willed" to me in an
old box with other comics. But for the whole comic
experience (letters, text pages, ads, covers) I would have
to go with Judomaster (it gets the nod for those
"how to" Karate features.

Mr Cashflagg: FINALLY! Someone else who agrees
with me that JUDOMASTER was the best that Charlton put
out. It's okay that you liked it for different
reasons. And yeah I am mostly kidding, but still, we do
seem to be in the minority by that being our fave
Charlton book! Anything in particular you liked about the
series other than the JUDO how-too's-? And yep, I really
would like to know... Dean, yes, I think it would
really be great if you could post the pages from that
Charlton aritst/writer comic creator Charlton booklet they
put out so many years ago. I never had a copy, but a
friend did...I would love to see it on the net so I can
print it off, please...
Hope everyone had a great
holiday!
Best,
Phil

I know what you say is true. For its time, it was
probably a treasure to behold. Other than HOW TO DRAW
COMICS THE MARVEL WAY, there were no other comic "how
to" guides. I'm only disappointed due to the passage
of years and the built up expectations. Since it's
initial release, there has been a number of informative
books on the "ins" and "outs" of comics. They have
spoiled me. Still the nostalgia of it is a wonderful
thing
The kid in me is still overjoyed to have finally
gotten it. I feel like he's been satisfied, but the
professional in me is the one that is somewhat disappointed. I
suppose he expected more from it. Regardless, I'll see if
I can scan it at some point.

Let's see the guide! I remember the ad from eons
ago! Was Steve Ditko and his art in this one? I was
really dissapointed in Steve when I found out that he
will not even answer an e-mail. About ten years ago I
wrote to him in care of thing books with Robin Snyder.
I found it to be a slap in the face to the fans
that followed his work. He says his work speaks for
itself. However if no one read his work; he'd have to
find another way to make a living. If you don't
acknowledge your fans in any way you are not going be popular
for long.
I didn't expect nothing grand. I
just wanted someone to show him my letter to says
thanks for all the years of great artwork.

In any of the press about the new Spiderman movie
was there any mention of Steve Ditko and his
involvment with Spider Man? The ol' publicity Marvel steam
roller will only credit Stan Lee as the sole creator and
artist of the book. I remember one magazine that stated
he was the artist! I think this is the good ol' boys
corporate types that don't want to pay residules to any
co-creators.

Well doggone it thanks.
Keep in mind,
Judomaster is my 20/20 hindsight choice. Yes, it is better
than Doomsday and it is better than E-Man in my eyes,
but as an off-the rack, browsing the drugstore for
comics kid, I preferred those two to Ripley's Believe it
Or Not Adventures. That said, the reasons
are:
Not to minimize the creative / artistic qualities of
Judomaster. (come to think of it, that does sound funny (like
the Freudian overtones of Leave it to Binky)I have
always enjoyed Frank McLauflin's art (especialy over
Dick Dillon on Justice League)Although I considered
Aparo the best artist of that era at Charlton. It's not
just the quality of the art either, his pacing is top
drawer. I always enjoyed teen sidekicks and I think (look
out here it comes again) the jingoistic tones that
underscored many Charlton titles through the 70s (especially
the War books)seem less out of place in the WWII
setting of Judomaster, than say, Captain Atom. And
frankly, I preferred the entire 20 pages going to the
star, I rarely liked back-up series. The idea that you
could train and BE this guy was/and still is appealing
to me. No radioactivity, no magic mists, no cutting
edge 60s technology.

I think if I had to pick a series from Charlton
which maintained a consistently high quality of
production throughout its run, Judomaster would get the nod.
The artwork by McLaughlin was very good and you can
see him improve as the series progresses.

Hey! And speaking of ol' Judomaster, alias (in
the old comics, 'THE CRIMSON CRUSHER'/'SCARLET
SMASHER'...any of you remember the old JM letters page
controversy over his mask's ponytail, which in the early
issues was part of his long hair poking through a hole
in the top of his mask, and in later issues,it was
longer, and just PART OF the mask. Many lettercol writers
loved the TOP KNOT (ponytail) as they called it, others
hated it and wanted it gone. I was one of the former.
Whenever a LOC was printed that wanted it removed, I was
like,(reading it)..."SHADDUP!!!"
For some reason I really
liked-and still like it. It's a cool costume, and even
cooler with it. Not so the DC white eeeeeeeechhhh!
version. Hey! Maybe there was a good reason Marvel put out
a series called NOT BRAND EEEEEEEEEECHHHH!!! Other
"top knot" characters over the years....(only on top
of masks count...) Zaran (master of kung fu), killer
shrike, and there is one more on the tip of my
tongue...AAAARGH! Help me out here, guys!!!

Judomaster's original outfit is one of the great
superhero costumes. That blast of red and yellow jumps off
the comics page at you. I too loved the "ponytail".
It was a unique detail of the costume and no more
unusual than Captain America's little wings or Batman's
ears.
I imagine the changes made to Judomaster's costume
by DC might have something to do with the overt
nationalism of the first outfit. That's just speculation, and
I'm likely giving them too much credit. More likely
in fact they just wanted to change it. I note that
the female Judomaster who appeared only once (to my
knowledge) had a different design too. The fact the new
outfit had echoes of Tiger's old uniform was at least a
neat touch.
You have insipired me Phil. I may
have to dig out my old Judomaster's and give them
another read.
Thanks!
Dean
P.S. I
can't think of the other top-knotted character. I well
remember the two you mention.

Thanks Dean! I am flattered. Actually, there was
no female JM that I know of. There was a different
(guy) in the suit in one issue of Justice League
International. The issue with all the Charlton action heroes on
the cover, but that was it. Okay, okay. I will check
tonight.(Smile)

Hey Dean! Remember how I knew there was one other
top-knotted masked character in the comics, but I couldn't
remember who it was, and you didn't know? Well...I just
remembered! It was Ironman's foe Blacklash! Originally, in
the 60's, in Tales of Suspense, he had an orange
costume whip a cape, and a mask with a red topknot. When
he became Blacklash, his costume became black, with
purple gloves and boots, and with a black mask with a
pastel green topknot. I think I won the topknot
costest...Hey, that's a dare. Anyone listening?

Another thing about the Judomaster who appeared
only once in an issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL:
you are right. This "JM" as you so correctly pointed
out had a totally different costume that any other
version. Moreover, it was a different person under the
mask. No explanation was made as to who he really was,
where he came from, how he came to take over the mantle
of Judomaster, and also....he was never seen again.
THANK GOD!!!! And hey DC any DC employee ever reads
this: The only JUDOMASTER IS RIP JAGGER (NOT
"RIPLEY"---she's the chick in the ALIEN/ALIENS movie!!) Also, the
only good JM suit was the original, the others
S-T-I-N-K. with a capital S. And you can sign
me.....

Frankly....(Can I be perfectly frank with you???)
To which you reply, "Hey, you can be anyone you
want!" But, frankly....in my view (the one one that
matters-h'yuk)...the only DC-changed Charlton outfit that was actually
an improvement was Thunderbolt's. Pete Morisi was
asked in an interview somewhere I read if the new T
bolt suit was an improvement. They kept asking him
over and over. He sat on the fence. I wonder if a) he
thought it was, but b) didn't want to admit it since DC
had illegally used his character (Morisi owns the
character outright)...without his permission. Thus, if if
he thought it was an improvement he couldn't very
well say that yeah, their version of the suit was
better....What do you think?

You're obviously right about the JLI Judomaster.
I can only imagine that I momentarily confused the
new Judomaster with Nightshade's (to me at the time
anyway) new look. I am already looking into possible
medication, since the ability to tell the difference between
the sexes hasn't so far been a problem for
me.
I like the classic Judomaster, but I'm not going to
say that no change wouldn't improve things. But I
have to agree that it would be hard to imagine.
There is a great untold story there about the one-shot
Judomaster. Hopefully someone will pick it up sometime and
give us a scoop about how that particular character
evolved.

The new T-Bolt look was more a close variation on
the original and that's why I think it worked so
well. They essntially tweaked an already strong
design.
The storyline though was less than exciting though. I
picked up a few of those, and the exotic atmosphere
which PAM created was obviously very important to the
overall effect. Boyette was able to approximate it but
only PAM could fully evoke T-Bolt's world.

Right on! I was just about to comment that DC
owns the Question, when someone beat me to it! You're
right, The Question is owned lock, stock and barrel by
DC! Still, it would serve DC right if someone else
did The Question Unlicensed---except DC would have a
mult million $ lawsuit on that individual...even
though DC published Pete Morisi's Thunderbolt without
Morisisi's permission. Basically, DC figured an individual
couldn't fight DC-since DC is owned by Warner-basically,
the largest entertainment company in the entire
world. "Bar none". It would be fun to see the shoe on
the other foot for a change, but I wouldn't want to
be the guy who tried it...! The crooks always win,
when they're rich and/or famous. Read:

How many of you remember the Marvel comic title
of the 1970's THE HUMAN FLY ? It was a real life
person who was Canadian, dressed in a superhero costume,
and never revealed his identity. Marvel based a
series on him. Well, I recently discovered in my files
an old People magazine article about him from 1977
that showed his true name and face. I have always been
interested about this Evil Kanevil wannabe but can find
almost no data on him on the internet or elsewhere. I do
not even know if he is still alive. I heard a rumour
he may have died several years ago in one of his
stunts but this is unsubstantiated. Can anyone help with
info? This is a subject I am very interested in. Any
info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I well remember the series (I have the full run), but I'm afraid I know nothing about the fate of the real man who inspired it. Frank Robbins did some dandy work on this one.

that title prior to its cancellation at about issue

Actually yes, I believe Lee Elias (golden age artist) indeed did some Human Fly issues, if memory serves. Frank Robbins did some as well. However, there were only 19 issues published not 40

Hi Dean! I,too, got the Atlas CBA and have been
reading it for days! Ditkp I see is as temperamental as
ever! Chip sounds like an incompetent idiot, and Martin
Goodman certainly sounds like a tunnel-visioned
egomaniac. Starting a company as an act of vengeance. It
sounds crazy, and the proof was in the pudding. The
company went T**S up! I actually liked a handful of their
titles, but a lot was lackluster. Another view I read
(slant) on Atlas in the past was that Marvel purposefully
put out "tons" of reprint books in addition to their
numerous other books, feeling that true "Marvelites" would
buy everything they could possibly afford, and Marvel
would hope that would leave the kids broke with no more
money LEFT to buy the "upstart" Atlases. So it looks
like Goodman and Atlas , and Marvel both decided an
act of vengeance was necessary. After all, Atlas was
out to OutMarvel Marvel. Plus, who knows? Stan may've
seen his brother Larry as a turncoat. It was indeed a
case of too much, too fast. Had they started small,
then introduced newer characters in current books
slowly, THEN branched them out into THEIR own books later
on (Valiant did this, DC does this), maybe Atlas
would still be with us. Then again...Can you imagine
how Martin Goodman felt...when Atlas collapsed, and
he in effect, ended up taken vengeance....upon
himself,,,???!!
As for Chip, sounds to me like Marvel got rid of him
cuz he WAS incompetent! What say you all?

Far be it from me to say that someone I've never
met, nor ever worked with was incompetent, but it sure
seems that was the ONE thing the folks from the
Atlas-Seaboard experience could agree upon.
They disagree
why the Goodmans started the project, they disagree
about the effectiveness of a young Jeff Rovin, they
disagree about when the project actually fell on fatal
times, but they all concur that Chip was not very good
at the comics business.
More
later.

I agree Dean. As the saying goes, "30 million
frenchmen cannot be wrong." Anyhoo...My fave title at Atlas
was The Destructor, both cuz the art was great by
Ditko and Wood. I also liked the premise and the
(first) costume. I liked the 1st 2 issues better than the
2nd two. I didn't like the 2nd, darker costume nor
the later obligatory (read:unnecessary, stupid)
powers eg: force bolts from the hands, nor the insipid
story in #4. I had a subsciption to Destructor,
beginning with issue #3. Big mistake. #3 came FOLDED IN
HALF(!), AND #4 WAS THE SAME, MAILED NUMEROUS MONTHS AFTER
#3.Of course, for the balance of the subsciption I was
ripped off of course. Like many, many mail order
experiences I have had with Jim Steranko. (Doug Sulipa
himself has told me that he has heard of lots of other
people being ripped off by Jim, but of course, that of
course is meandering a wee off topic from Atlas. See how
I shrewdly shoe horned it in there?

Several months back, someone here eroniously
reported at charlton bullseye site that Bob Guccione
committed suicide some years back. I knew at the time that
that info was not correct, but I wondered where that
misinfo had come from. Last night, while reading CBA#16
(Atlas issue), I found out. Therein it was reported that
several years back, the publisher of PENTHOUSE COMIX (NOT
PENTHOUSE MAGAZINE), did commit suicide. However, this was
not Bob Guccione. In the Woody Harrelson movie based
on Bob's life, it shows that someone attempted to
assassinate Bob, shot him, but he did survive.

That movie was based on Larry Flynt, the publisher of Hustler. THe assassination attempt left him paralyzed. You're right about Bob Guccione being alive, though.

Hi folks. Kindly disregard my last post about the
true identity of the real life HUMAN FLY COSTUMED
DAREDEVIL, who Marvel years ago devoted a 19 issue comics
series to. I have done more internet research on him
since then. It turns out that numerous people (the
first I could locate did death defying stunts in 1916
and referred to himself as THE HUMAN FLY)... have
used that nom de plume over expansive decades. George
Willig was a "Human Fly" daredevil as well. In 1977,
Willig illegally scaled the late WORLD TRADE IN NEW
YORK. For his efforts, he was fined $1.10---one penny
for each story of the building. He was going to be
fined a great deal more, but there was a public outcry.
He, however, was NOT the Human Fly Marvel devoted a
comics series to. That costumed HUMAN FLY WAS (OR IS
STILL, I AM UNCLEAR ON THAT)---one Rick Rojatt. And yes,
I am sure of this. For proof, go visit the
following website, which I have just discovered! Photos and
everything! http://www.the-rocketman.com/human_flygrfx.html
Also, another site to visit is
http://www.badpress.co.uk/humanfly/ The first site pertains to the real life Human
Fly (Rick Rojatt) that the comics series is based on.
The second site I have listed is a web site for the
comic book site of the Marvel HUMAN FLY version.
Now....How's that for research?
Kudos.

Hmmm. I do know at least this much: the
short-lived OMNI COMICS (not Penthouse Comix) did publish at
least one issue which contained a new.Paul Gulacy
Thunder Agents story. The one I have is the one Where
Dynamo, on the story, looks like he is shitting a brick!
LOL. What I would like to know is, was there more than
one issue published with Thunder Agents? And did
PENTHOUSE COMIX publish any Thunder Agents stories, new or
old??????

The way I understand it Omni Comix was a version
of Penthouse Comix that never got off the ground.
The T-Agents were indeed done for the first issue
(excellently I might add)and other stories (or parts) were
apparently produced by the death of the guy who set it up
quashed the whole deal. I spent a long time trying to
find the follow-up issues myself.
Maybe
someday, somehow someone will give the Thunder Agents
another shot at the brass ring.

...My understanding , incidentally , is that the
OMMNI/PENTHOUSE comics , were , unlike the couple of Penthouse
titles ( better spell that one , VERY , carefully ! )
that DID come out , briefly , not intended to be " s
only " . The P-H anthologys WERE with enuff
noodie-noodie content 2B " no kids " , the Ommni titles were
supposta be all ages .
( Note - the computers that I
work with now - Or , perhaps it's Yahoo! - have some
ABSURD " we won't print that word " censors on them , as
I've mentioned , generally , B-4 , so , I have 2
tippy-toe around ! )

Off topic has anyone in our group ever even seen
a copy (in person,I don't mean a photocopy of th
cover...) of the rare Atlas Gothic Romances? Does anyone in
our group own a copy?
Also off topic, did any
of you folks know that, in the 1940's, some Canadian
Comics companies published unique Canuck comics with the
Whiz Captain Marvel characters? EG: new
stories...unique to Canada.

know , it grew out of a Can. gov's tax thing that lead
2 imported Yankee comics being banned from

of DC , Dell , and Fawcett , for three , but , yes ,
with some exclusive material as well . Am rushed , so

I knew it. I think the publisher's name was Bell, and they were actually very good in quality. Different from CC Beck's artwork, but great in their own way.

I remember Captain Canuck (if I spelled it
right..don't think so) it came out so few times I only
remember getting three issues. But if I remember they did
have computer coloring and high quality graphics back
in their 70's issue that I bought sooo long ago. Is
it me or are the comics not fun anymore. I dug up
some of my old Marvel and DC oversize Treasury
Editions and there was nothing like them in the world. The
50 cent and eventually 60 cent DC reprints and new
Material ..I wish those days were back...I miss them and
the only way I get to see them is reading my old
books....and they look better to me with the new garbage
that's out ...sometimes I think I am just getting old
and see see the new violent stuff which passes for
the "cool" thing and I have to say ....the seventies
stuff was much better...

I have never seen "Gothic Romances". I wasn't
even aware of it until the Comic Book Marketplace
article a couple of years ago. The cover is lovely, and
it was neat to see a few illustrations from the
insides in the recent CBA issue.
Never knew about
the Canadian Captain Marvel. Would like to see a few
of those.
Love Captain Canuck! I started
getting the book with issue #9 and quickly acquired the
back issues. The series was a great blend of adventure
and sci-fi. George Freeman's artwork was lovely. The
more recent revival was less successful.

Loved your website. I learned there is at least
one issue of Captain Canuck I don't have (issue #2 of
the most recent series), so I have some work to
do.
I'm member #37 of the Captain Canuck Fan Club (I
still have my membership card around here somewhere).
Were you ever a member?

I agree with your opinion on the George Freeman
era of Captain Canuck. It was also a great story
line. The revival of Captain Canuck in the early 90s
was too much of a departure for the dedicated C.C.
fans.

As a card carrying Canadian citizen (smile) I was
15 when Captain Canuck #1 (1st series) was published
in 1975. The series ran 3 issues then no more was
heard from the Captain till about the later 1970's. At
that time 300 serially-#d (Marvel Treasury edition
sized) issues (again,only 300 copies made) were
published and were available only through a mail order
dealer, possibly Doug Sulipa's Comic World, if memory
serves. Each had a certificate of authenticity. It came
in black and white with cardboard covers and is very
rare. I own a copy, having ordered it at the time. Mine
is #169.All are signed. A little later, a 2nd
printing came out of #4, also treasury edition sized, also
in b and w.This time only 15 copies were printed, so
this is even rarer. Then, 3-5 years later, about 1979,
after I had moved to Toronto from Halifax Nova Scotia,
#4 was published in normal comic size, basically, a
reprint of the treasury edition sized first #4. #4 had
the story of "Behind the Mask", art by George
Freeman. The series basically continued the #ing, and last
several issues (14), plus a "Summer Special", which was
really a large annual, with new art by Freeman. In the
early to mid-1990's, original creator Richard Comely
started a new Captain Canuck series. The first issue was
#0 (zero), followed by issues 1,2,and 3. However,
behind the mask was a completely different person (a
caucasian school teacher), whereas the original Cap Canuck
under the mask (as revealed in #4, first series), was a
Canadian native Indian by the name of Tom Evans. The final
Comely series referred to the original, far superior
series as fictional comic book adventures for kids. The
joke is that the most recent series was.....garbage.
The series that Comely poked fun at was excellent,
and the series that discredited the original 15 issue
series (including the annual) was itself pathetic. Also,
the final series turned the excellent Catman
character into some idiot with a paint ball gun.Who called
himself Splatter. Frankly, Canadian comic book partisans
were insulted.
Rumours have circulated for years
that Captain Canuck will resurface, but so far the
only indication has been a Canadian postal stamp
issued of Captain Canuck---which is of the George
Freedom good version.
I too was a member of the
Captain Canuck club, and have a lot of the club
posters,buttons, etc.
Nice website by the way, only
suggestion I would make is change the mask to the Freeman
version. The version you have there is the final version.
'Nuff said.(Respectfully.)
Finally, I just wanted to
mention that the only Captain Canuck b and white versions
existed are the treasury edition sized versions, which
are all rare. However, if I am wrong on this, I sure
would like to know about it.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Phil Latter

Wow, you do know your Captain Canuck stuff! I
agree that the original series was the best. The only
other B/W book was the third issue of the last
series.
P.S. Thanks for signing my guestbook and your
comments. Say, if you have scans of some of those books you
could send me that would be great! I would like to post
them on the site.

Dean--did you post that you are having trouble
finding Captain Canuck #2 of the original series in 1975?
The reason I ask is---when that issue was published,
a truck carrying 30,000 issues (yep, thirty
thousand copies) caught fire and burned. They all went up
in smoke. For that reason, #2 is rather scarce. I
would suggest a mail order dealer.
Shelley
waitaminute! Did you say that #3 of the last series was in
black and white??? If that is true I definately do not
have that one. Do you have an extra copy that you
might consider trading or selling-?

Shelley-having looked at your Cap Canuck website,
which is very nice, by the way....are you also aware
that Northguard not only appeared in 5 issues of New
Triumph Presents, but also a second, b and w series later
on, with new stories published by Calibre Press? This
was a Canadian Company. Also, the Cap Canuck stamp
issued by the Canada Post came in a set with a
Northguard stamp, a Fleur Des Lis stamp (female hero in
Northguard), Northguard stamp, Superman stamp (one of the
creators of Superman was born in Canada), Northern Light
(female superhero of Canadian Whites ---Canadian comic
books of the 1940's), etc. Thought you might like to
know.
One neat Cap Canuck item was the cardboard 3-d
diarama wherein Cap Canuck is saving a child from a fire
inside a building.

I also have in my collection several club
posters, a visor, buttons, a tee shirt from 1975, as well
as personal Cap Canuck postcards and correspondence
from the mid 70's when R Comely and I were
corresponding, even the illustrated Cap Canuck large size Cap
envelopes my subscription issues came in , and Cap C
newspaper and mag articles of the time. I even have a TIME
magazine, with Captain Canuck on the cover, believe it or
not!

Wow, I didn't realize that about Northguard. I
only have the first issue, but will rectify the
situation. I e-mailed Northguard's creator, a guy named
Shainblum (or something like that). He and Richard Comely
were going to discuss doing another Captain Canuck
book. Unfortunately, nothing ever came of it that I am
aware of. I have e-mailed Shainblum since then, but
never received a reply.
I remember seeing the stamp
collection, and tried to find a way to purchase a C.C. stamp,
but have so far been unsuccessful.
I haven't seen
the diarama, but would love to have seen it.

No, the only issue I'm in need of (that I know
of) is the apparent third issue of the 90's return
series. I didn't even know the thing existed until I saw
the cover posted at Rome's website.
Seems like
I remember hearing about the early issues being
rare, but fortunately I have them all. I might have
some of those old subscription envelopes around too. I
think I got some stickers with my club membership,
though that could be wrong. I'll have to prowl around
for that stuff.

Sorry to be so long in getting back; we had a
quarter change at the school where I work, and the entire
universe stops for that (y'all didn't notice because time
had to stand still or hell freeze over; I don't
remember which). I don't remember if THUNDER was going to
have its own comic, or if it was intended as an
ongoing series in either Penthouse or Omni Comics, but
Penthouse would have published it. The copyright owner had
to agree to let them publish it, or they would have
defaced the art and text (changed them to Thunderman,
Captain Swift, Invisi-Droid, Blackbird, or something like
that) and printed it anyway. That issue of CBA has a
single page of unpublished Gulacy art, I believe from
the next chapter.

I spoke by phone to my backissues dealer in
Montana over the weekend. Not only did he have one copy
left of the scarce Semple Captain Canuck #3, but the
copy he had was signed on the cover in silver ink by
Richard Comely himself. I put in on my credit card, and
it is in the mail! Bizarre coincidence since I
didn't even know the issue existed prior to a few days
ago! Got it for $10. U.S.! He said here are the
breakdowns on the Semple issues (how many printed of each
is: #0= 60,000. #2= 30,000. #3=8,000. He will get
back to me with the figures on #1

My dealer got back to me by email. Here is a more
accurate sum total: SEMPLE COMIC BOOK COMPANY CAPTAIN
CANUCK ISSUES: #0= 100,000 #1= 60,000 #2=30,000 #3=8000
This comics back issue dealer also mentioned that the
scarce #3 was sold almost entirely through newsstands,
not direct. That's why it wasn't advertised in
PREVIEWS. I hope this info is of help. Oh, I think I forgot
to mention but the Calibre NORTHGUARD series ran 3 b

comic vendors. I found the first issue, signed by

Is anyone else getting a message from the wise
and all-knowing Yahoo that this club has been
deleted? I know I didn't delete it, and I'm pretty sure
Doc wouldn't without some significant notification.
Of course the fact I'm posting this seems to
indicate we aren't gone, but I'm just concerned that this
false message is getting out.

Who else like the work of Nicholas Alascia? I
know he much derided by knowing Charlton fans, but his
work is ubiquitous throughout the Charlton line, and I
for one like his treatments from time to time. There
is a predictablity to his work that makes it often
pedestrian, but also his steady designs make sure that any
Charlton book he works on at least achieves a professional
standard.
There hasn't really been a lot said about Alascia in
either of the Charlton CBA issues, and I'm just a little
curious about his situation. Is he still alive? Does
anyone know?

Well, Dean, having finished the Atlas issue of
CBA(#16) about a week ago, and having read it literally
cover to cover, the only motive I can possibly see for
Atlas' destruction (eg:"DESTRUCTOR") was Martin
Goodman's narrow-focused revenge on Marvel. It was
irrational to so "ape" Marvel to death to such an extreme;
doing so ended up on PARODYING it. A tax writeoff? I
would say that is a heck of a lot of money peed away
for such a reason, not to mention creative energies,
etc. No, to me that doesn't ring true at all. I also
believe Chip either was a) not all that bright, b)
disinterested, c) incompetent, or all three. Martin Goodman
should have known Chip was bad news when Marvel fired
him. Minimum, Marvel must have seen blatantly obvious
his disinterest in the job at Marvel. Marvel
undoubtedly got rid of him before Marvel went bankupt itself.
Which it did several years later. With Chip in charge
it likely would have gone under (before it coming
back) much sooner.
Looks like Martin was
tunnel-visioned about lots of things. Vengeance is like that; it
usually precludes calm reasoning. One author in that CBA
issue mentioned that both Goodman's are DEAD. But other
writers therein referred to both as still alive. I
wonder, which is it?
Can one blame Marvel for turning
out tons of reprint books so the fans would buy them
first, having no more pocket money at that time for
Atlas? I say no. Look at what Atlas was
doing...Turnabout is fair play; all is fair in love and
war.....Atlas may have found it's niche if it started small.
But it's niche was apparently to bury Marvel. Good
luck! It buried itself and a lot of good concepts that
Goodman ruined. I think a lot of the interviewees came
off well, Rovin included. Choice of distributor
doesn't sound like it helped. Anyway, those are some of
my thoughts....

Those
stamps, yes, were commemorative of the Canadian Whites of
the 1940s as well as Superman. Joe Shuster grew up in
Toronto (and I think he was born there, too) and in fact
was a first cousin to Frank Shuster, the famous son
of Canada from the comedy team of Wayne &
Shuster.

That was true. Doc Stearne was an obscure Canadian
comic-book character from the Canadian Whites of the 40s who
was loosely based on Doc Savage. In the penultimate
issue he appeared in, the creative team finally put Doc
Stearne into a costume and called him Mr. Monster, but
with little explanation of why he needed the costume.
His final appearance involved fighting a monster in
Scotland (not Canada as portrayed in the Mr. Monster
origin story written by Gilbert). But yes, Gilbert's Mr.
Monster was indeed a reworking of a Canadian
character.

Here is fuel to the fire. I read with amusement
about Doc Stearn. Nova Scotia, the Canadian province I
live in, means, literally..."New Scotland". And yes,
Canada Post did indeed put stamps out of Superman,
Captain Canuck, and many other characters, including
Fleur De Lis and some characters from "The Canadian
Whites" of the 1940's. Yes, these were real postage
stamps. And yep, Shuster, of Superman, was related to the
Shuster of Wayne and Shuster Canadian comedy team. Wayne
and Shuster are both deceased, one of those just last
week, unfortunately.

This service is free and I am thinking it would be just like a mega company to delete all our clubs and say "unfortunately as a cost saving mearsure we had to eliminate the clubs"

I recently heard on the news this week that Yahoo
has been losing money. The idea was that they would
make a lot of money through advertising while
providing "free" services. Unfortunately for them (and
possibly for us) it has not worked out that way in the
last year as websurfers become more "internet savvy"
and do their shopping wherever they want to or use
whichever home-page they want to rather than stick with the
one given them by the company.
I hope this
doesn't mean that Yahoo decides to eliminate its free
services like these Clubs and Groups and/or switch to
fee-only Clubs/Groups and GeoCities homepages. But it
could happen...

My recent experiences with the Group format shows
pretty quickly what Yahoo hopes to accomplish by making
us all participate in that manner. Advertising
actually interrupts the flow of messages requiring
additional clicks of the mouse to follow threads. These
forced hits are apparently the price we will pay for the
"free" use of the service.
Sadly I found the
process rather labor intensive and I fear that when the
change comes (is it ever going to happen I wonder?) I
will be hanging out at only a couple of places with
any regularity at all.

I find this irritating as well. Another option,
though, is that all messages at the Group can be received
via e-mail instead of having to actually go there.
Unfortunately, the advertising follows each and every message
you receive.

Today one of my foreign back issue dealers found
for me something I have been looking for, for several
years: the fanzine/magazine The Comic Cellar#2. I saw
the cover of it advertised in an issue of Richard
Comely's Star Rider and the Peace Machine series. This was
a b & w comic series (mag-sized) that came out in
1983. (After the original Captain Canuck series had run
its course. Anyway, Comic Cellar#2, a fanzine, had a
Captain Canuck cover, and cover type proclaimed an expose
as to what happened to Richard Comely at CKR
Productions; when Comely Comix went out of business, a few
years later one Ken Ryan negotiated with Comely to
continue the Captain Canuck run under the group name CKR
Productions. Of course, CKR stood for Comely Ken Ryan. Later,
apparently Richard Comely was let go/fired by CKR. This
sordid tale was related at length, apparently, in the
fanzine The Comic Cellar#2, sporting a Captain Canuck
cover. I ordered the zine today. When it arrives, I will
relate that story here, unless someone beats me to the
punch. So to speak.

Apparently some of the clubs that have been
converted into Groups (all the ones beginning with "a1" are
already converted, and they're going through them
alphabetically -- we'll be soon) may not have had their photos
saved along with them. Save 'em now if you
can!

I'm still showing the Bullseye as non-converted.
It comes up normally. The Atlas Seaboard Comics
Society has indeed been converted to groups with the loss
of photos at this point.
Now I'm really

The "Comics Cavalcade" has already been
converted, even though it's alphabetically after this
club... which makes me wonder how Yahoo does their
converting process. Do they start with the newer clubs and
go to the older ones later, or what?

Dean---Amen brother. I'm confused too. Join the
club. Oh sorry. That's a pun. Now we're not only
confused but I am in bad taste as well. Doc---yeah, about
that, I first figured that they would convert the clubs
alphabetically and would work their way down to zed (in Canada
it is zed not zee so there...but I digress...but now
it seems there's no rhyme nor reason to it....Say!
Maybe God Almighty is up there throwing dice...Yeah!

Still here, and despite what Yahoo says, I still
check in everyday here. The Charlton chatter has been
rather slow of late.
To be honest I have to
question our purpose with the eventual transfer to groups.
The Charlton-1 Group does have the distinct advantage
of a host of pros who can give real specific
insights into the workings of the company. We had some
real enthusiasm and still have a strong collection of
links and some great scans. The scans may disappear
when we convert.
Should the Bullseye combine
with Charlton-1? I ask this only in the spirit of
effective and fun communication about our favorite comics.
That place too slows from time to time, but perhaps by
combining them we could keep a steady discourse alive.
The links section over there needs serious attention.
Likewise the Photos are an area that Doc in particular
could do some good work in.
Should we combine?

Big John drew the adventures of Nature Boy. I
think this comic was produced in the 50' before Buscema
committed himself to advertising artwork. I have seen th
cover to at least one issue and it is beautiful

Yesterday I received in the mail an odd
assortment/portpourri of titles I had ordered through one of my many
mail-order dealers: MF ENTERPRISES Captain Marvel title #4,
and Captain Marvel Presents The Terrible Five#1,
thereby completing the 6 issue run of that character (2
titles) Also a very fine Space Adventures #35,1960 (3rd
Captain Atom), the scarce black and white Captain Canuck
#3 Semple issue (signed on the cover by Richard
Comely), and finally Comic Cellar#2 from 1982. The b and w
Semple Captain Canuck #3 is actually reprints the 1996
syndicated newspaper Cap Canuck comic strip---it is of the
2nd character to wear that costume, not Tom Evans. As
such it is not that interesting, at least to me.
Still, I am glad I did locate it, since it was only $10.
U.S. However, the most interesting item in the package
was Comic Cellar#2, with a nice color Comely Captain
Canuck cover. Comely is interviewed, as is George
Freeman,Ken Ryan of CKR, J C Aubin, and also Cancuk's
creator. Some both published and unpublished comic strip
series (various) by Freeman, J C Aubin,etc are
reprinted. Interesting stuff! Also (and a sheer delight!)
are many, many pages of George Freeman-drawn Captain
Canuck newspaper comic strips which apparently saw print
in newspapers several years ago. And these are
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Comely's firing from CKR. Freeman had
replaced Comely on the art chores on the Canuck book
around #6 or #7, and Comely was merely writing it
thereafter. According to Ken Ryan, Comely began interfering
in the business end of the company continually,
and---perhaps feeling he wasn't getting enough credit in the
book (just writer---and frankly, Comely did NOT create
the character)---he began signing his credit "Editor
in Chief!" Which he was not!!! His continual
interference with the business end of things, and continually
heated conversations with staff resulted, unfortunately,
with his termination. (I remain a Comely fan, but of
the Tom Evans Cap, not of Comely's later
version.)
Even George Freeman's interview reads that Comely's
termination was necessary. Anyway, Comic Cellar#2 is a great
magazine! I have been reading it for hours; it is
fascinating! I urge any Cap Canuck fans to procure a copy.
Also, it shows unpublished Captain Canuck #15 cover by
Freeman, and an unpublished cover of the Summer Special #1
also by Freeman, and lots more unpublished art. It
turns out that the 30,000 copies of Canuck#2 destroyed
were NOT the result of the truck fire. More on that
later.

Originally, as a kid, a fellow by the name of Ron
Leishman created Captain Canuck.Only then, he called the
character Captain Canada. He showed these youthful drawings
to his friend Richard Comely. Comely became very
enthusiastic about the character, and later procured financing
to publish the character with Leishman's blessing.
Only, Comely saw a very poorly done sweat shirt in a
store of a character called Captain Canada, with a
cape. Deciding that name had been used, he changed the
name to Captain Canuck. Canuck is still for Canadian
the way Yankee is slang for American.Comely did not
know at the time that in World War Two, Canadian black
and white comics had a character called Johnny
Canuck. When Comely Comics went out of business around
1976 or 1977, (due to distribution problems but also
because printing is MUCH more expensive in
Canada...Comely said if he had it to do again he would have had
them printed in the U.S....)... A few years later, he
decided to try again. One company he approached for
funding said they would publish new Captain Canuck issues
only if they would OWN the character!! They would keep
Comely on as artist. Understandably, he declined. A
friend suggested Comely raise the funding himself. He
eventually,however, contacted Ken Ryan. The arrangement was CKR would
put up the funding; CKR would own 60% , Comely would
own 40%. There were distribution problems again, and
again they were printed in Canada. Expensive! CKR sold
tonnes of copies were apparently were not receiving
proper revenue back! The company, financially, was in
trouble! The aforementioned Comely/Ryan problems meant
Comely was let go. But remember, Comely owned
40%---which is not a controlling interest! CKR wanted Comely
to surrender the 40% he owed for nothing! Obviously,
he said no! So Comely's partners did a scummy
thing---they consulted a lawyer, and "sold the company back to
themselves!"---cutting Comely out of the picture entirely!!! Comely
demanded his name at least be taken off any loans owed.
Remember,the company financially was in big trouble. They
agreed, and he was off the hook! How he was able, then,
to publish the later Semple series legally---is
anyone's guess! Presumably Ken Ryan financially was in no
position to challenge him. Ron Leishman, a Jesuit
Missionary as an adult, never had any interest in the
publishing of Cap Canuck.He is interviewed in Comic Cellar#2
as well. Reprinted in Cellar#2 are lots of comic
strips he has had published which are pretty funny,
non-Canuck. He remains on good terms with Comely. As I said,
he never had any interest in Canuck as a publishing
concept. He did write a story or two, in the original
series, #1, or #2, but that is it. So there is (much of)
the story behind the story. Hope you all found it
interesting. But there is much, much more in Comic Cellar#2.
If you can find a copy, buy it!

Wow, I sure wish I had copies of those books! Is
there anyway you could scan some images for me? I will
include them on my site, acknowledging you of course.
BTW, I just updated my Captain Canuck site at

Rome/shelley: regarding Captain canuck. Sorry,
but unfortunately, as I have explained earlier, I
only have access to a computer at work, not at home.
And, there is no scanner. Otherwise, I would be
delighted to help you out. Sorry. By the way, since we are
both Captain Canuck fans, how do I refer to you? Is it
Shelley, or Rome? Are you a girl or a guy? Not that it is
relevant. It's just that your handle is a little long. What
changes did you make to your website, so I can look at
that aspect of it? Very intersted to know, being a big
fan of that character. If you send me an SASE I would
be happy to photocopy those issues for you. Of
course you would need to enclose enough postage. The
Semple Cap Canuck is a normal sized comic, but Comic
Cellar#2 is a thick magazine-about the size of Comics
Journal. Most of the issue is about Captain
Canuck.

That's right, sorry I forgot that you don't have

guy, Shelly is my wife. I haven't made too many
changes to the site, other than some new images and
artwork in the galleries. How much postage would you need

Were there any comic paperbacks that compiled all
the stories. How many issues were there? The memories
I had were a book with fancy computer graphics and
bright colors and to me it was something before its
time. I was really impressed with the art style and
wish it took off here. Because the issues were so far
and few here were I use to purchase them.

Rome-no, captain canuck has never, ever come out
in a collected edition that reprinted any issues.As
for the numbers, first series (secret identity Tom
Evans)had 14 issues, and one "Summer Special", which was
actually an Annual. Second series (secret identity Darren
Oaks or Oakes-different guy under the mask and ---in
my opinion the second series was extremely
uninteresting, even boring....) ...the first issue published was
0 (zero), followed by #1, #2, and #3. #3 had only
8,000 copies printed, almost exclusively newsstand only
(not direct sales), thus hard to find. I only got a
copy by sheer luck, having made an enquiry of one of
my mail order dealers upon finding out it existed.
(I previously didn't know it existed, and one series
one is in the price guide!
Hope this info
helps!

Yes it does exist!!! (Sort of!) For Captain
Canuck fans of the first series....I just learned today
from one of my mail order dealers that he DID (as in,
past tense) previously have a supply of #15. See,
George Freeman originally draw #15 but it was not with
Richard Comely after CKR suspended operation, to sort-of
publish #15 in limited numbers. But they were only
photocopies of the original cover and art for #15, stapled
together and sold only through this dealer. But he is long
sold out. So the next question would be, are these
(photocopies) collectible? That would be a matter of opinion. I
would say yes. At least to me in terms of their story
and (Canadian) historical interest. Plus they are
incredibly rare. Besides, DC's CANCELLED COMICS CAVALCADE (2
issues, hundreds of pages each) are just photocopies,
there were only 35 copies made of #1 and #2
(photocopies), yet when they turn up on the auction block, they
go for thousands of dollars. Therefore,
collectibility,(like beauty), is often in the eyes, or pocketbook, of
the beholder. But beware, so-called "collectibles",
especially CANCELLED COMICS CAVALCADE, ARE FREQUENTLY
COUNTERFEITED, bootleg copies. Get it? Can't you just hear a
hypothetical arguement? "Hey, I bought this expensive
photocopy from you in good faith, and it turns out it is a
counterfeit photocopy of a photocopy!!! I'll sue you!" BWAH
HAHA HAH HAH!

I have a couple of these I think. Back in the
late 70's and early 80's Charlton was reprinting a
number of of their backstock in the few series that
survived at that time. Dr.Graves was completely reprint at
the time,as was Billy the Kid. Lots of titles were
begun for a few issues and this is the first of a few
consecutive issues reprinting some of the vintage Cap
stories.
They are excellent and cheap (at least they should be)
ways of getting a peak at these classic Ditko stories.
I don't think there was much of an attempt to
reprint whole books. Somewhere I've seen a listing of
what is in these, but I'm not immediately sure
where.

Hi folks. I thought it pertinent to mention that
this group now has two members with first name Phil. I
am the Canuck (Canadian) Phil. So, if the heading is
not CHROMIUMFOIL, it is not I. Just to clarify is
all. Secondly, since someone else brought up the
matter of waltsland, I would like to comment. While I
have nothing whatsoever against this gent, I do
confess, Mr. Waltsland, that I rarely (speaking for
myself) read your comments. And the reason is that, sir,
your use of English (or "style", if you will) I cannot
make heads nor tails of. In other words, I don't know
what the heck you are trying to say.(?????) No offense
intended, of course. I assume that English is NOT your
primary language. I am guessing that I may (?) be far
from the only one who has given up trying to decipher
your messages. Frankly, I cannot make heads nor tails
of them.
Respectfully,
Phil (Chromiumfoil)

Rome-you and me both, brother! BUT---would you
pay big money for this "photocopy of a photocopy"???
What makes me laugh is arguements at conventions such
as I mentioned.... You know, "I paid you a thousand
dollars for an ORIGINAL photocopy of CANCELLED COMICS
CAVALCADE and it turns out it is a photocopy of a photocopy
(bootleg)copy! You ripped me off!!!"---have actually taken
place! The sheer lunacy of the idea that CANCELLED
COMICS CAVALCADE "ORIGINALS" ...are actually
photocopies!!! And that people (who incidentally were stupid
enough to pay thousands for these things...are upset
when they have a SECOND GENERATION photocopy!!
Basically, because the "originals" are PHOTOCOPIES...there
ARE no originals to begin with!! The mind
boggles...The whole arguement is lunacy. Still...I'd love to
have that Cap Canuck#15...photocopy...but I wouldn't
take out a loan to procure it...

talking about , and , a 2000 P-C that isn't the 1978
object , but is being sold as the
1978 object , IS a
fraud...

I'm with you Phil, I wouldn't shell out big bucks
for a photo-copy. The arguement you mentioned is
unbelievable to me. Still, if you find a photocopy of Captain
Canuck 15, I will send you the money to buy a bootleg of
it.

so...if someone buys a photocopy or a photocopy,
has he been "duped"?
By the way, I've known a
couple fan self publishers who number their photocopies
as if they were art prints--you know, "this is
number 15 of 352", that sort of thing. It's
harmless...but useless! The idea on art prints is that the image
decays with each printing, so earlier prints are worth
more money. Later prints, made from plates which start
to wear out after some use, are worth less. But a
photocopy is pretty much the same, whether it's number 1 or
number 100.

I'm glad to see the transition to groups has finally taken hold. I
was getting a bit weary of waiting for the inevitable. I'm also glad
to see the club pic looking so very beautiful. I daresay we have the
most handsome club (er excuse me)...group picture of any out there in
the Yahoo wildnerness. Thanks again Loston!
Hopefully this move will energize the group to more activity. See
everyone around!

Given the huge amount of advertising we are forced to deal with at
this point, I find that rumour unlikely. It makes little sense to
force folks to at once pay for a service and then foist ads on them
simultaneously. But then with the model of cable and satellite
televsion out there, someone probably thinks it might work. Speaking
for myself, there is NO way I will pay for this service. At that
point it will likely become more interesting to simply create a
separate website.

Hey Phil---an idea: what about your uploading some Charlton covers
from the old charlton heroes comics, and even dc comics that have
some of those characters? I was just thinking that you did such a
great job of it at the Atlas site....what say?

aaawww--Shucks, Dean! I still have it in my mind to do the
Charlton piece that we all voted for so long ago! I have not
forgotten, and I promise, that it will be something to behold!
As far as the "groups" format goes, I like it except for the ads that
you are forced to see (unless you get the club posts via email).
That's the only complaint I have about the groups.

Hi folks. Since nobody has been posting here much of late, I will add
something that hopefully will stimulate some conversation. Today I
bought-at a great price $25. Canadian , a 1922 BRINGING UP FATHER #6,
which is now my OLDEST comic book by far in the entire collection,
and my very first Bronze age comic book ever. It IS in the price
guide. I am wondering- does any other members of this club have any
Bronze age comics? If so ,I would be interested in learning which
ones.

Wow I remember that comic as a kid in the Sunday paper...it wasn't
from my generation but I couldn't really get into it as a kid. I
remeber with the Star Wars Movie back in 1977 there was a Star Wars
Strip by Russ Heath ..that was good and I read it every day till it
fizzled out ...he may have drawn the Star Trek strip right after the
1979 movie and that too fizzled out ..they were never given a proper
chance to develop because I would still read them today.

How about Ditko's post Marvel Blue Bettle stories..I am sure they are
in public domain by now. You could post the short stories and club
members could download them...then you could delete the photos..like
trading a comic..

Hey there, Phil! It's hard to talk about those books because they are
so rare. I used to have one of Mutt and Jeff many years ago; as I
recall, it was soert of a squareish format, about 6 by 8 inches, with
a cardboard cover and reprinted one strip on a page. This was in the
1960s so I don't remember it clearly...I gave it away when I had to
move and had to get rid of nearly everything except my most valued
possessions, so I'm going by my memory here.
Aside from the rarity, I think most fans aren't familiar with those
comics because they reprinted newspaper strips hardly anyone under
thirty has heard of, and they didn't have super hero material (of
course! They pre-dated superman). Now, me, I love that newspaper strip
stuff, and I wish there was more interest in the strips, but as a
smaller and smaller percentage of fans even know anything about them,
it's hard to talk about strips these days.
Just to let you know, some of those comics like you have, but
featuring Little Orphan Annie are being reprinted even now. I saw one
at a comics shop just two days ago in my area, printed sometime in the
last six months. Alas, at 10 bucks, I decided I can't get everything
so I passed it up, but I LOVE those strips (not just Annie, I mean,
but the humor strips, the sf strips, etc. My fave i

Just an additional thought: Doesn't "The Bronze Age" refer to comic
books from 1970 (or there abouts) to the present? What you are
referring to would probably be called "The Stone Age" or (my choice)
"The Protozoic Age"! (The terms are taken from Greek mythology who
believed in The Ages of Man--the Golden Age was when everyone was a
god and happy, then came the Silver Age when people were happy but had
to work the land and toil, etc., and then the Bronze Age when everyone
had to fight, starve, die early and so on. The Greeks didn't have much
before the Golden Age except primordial chaos...but we have pre-comic
book comics like you have! Congratulations on your acquisition, by the
way. You have something most fans have never

Chas---you are correct. The error was mine. Rare old comics like
BRINGING UP FATHER are from what the Comic Book Price Guide calls THE
PLATINUM AGE. The bronze age is 1970's, I feel pretty sure.

...Other people have used th' term " The Cardboard Age " ( after th' -
cardboard ! - not quite " proper " book covers , but more than
magazine/PB covers - that they , or so I'm told , tended to have , )
for pre-" ACTION #1 " comic books , which I like , but " Latinum
Age " seems to have stuck .
Let's re-start an old argument - When would you see the Silver Age
ending and the Bronze Age beginning - Aaaaanndd, when did the Bronze
age run to , roughly ( Followed by - Ah , shucks , I'm not gonna
attempt that one now - the Modern/Comics Shop age - Perhaps we're in
still another , " an ungainly beast , just woken " age , by now ,
too , but...) ?
I'd go with , the revision /lightening of the Code (
Inspired/finally motivated by the " Harry freaks out " SPIDEY
Codeless issues . ) , in early 1971 , as the Silver over to Bronze
marker - This , AFTER , a 1969-70 full of changes to the 60s status
quo -in comics ( I'll explain how , and why - and even involve
Charlton into it !!!!!!! Really . ) - later . Unm hnm .
Aaaaand , for rh' end of th' Bronze...I was out of comics ,
really , then , by the early Eighties in which I'd place it...What
say youse/y'all ??????? I dunno , DC starting their " comics shops
only " Mando paper line ? ( Mirage's original one . ) TEENAGE MUTANT
NINJAS becoming such a big one ? Lame examples , but , better'n "
' DAZZLER ' #1 being a comics-shop exclusive !!!!!!! " . I guess .

I don't think there was any sense of end to "Da Bronze Age". I
suppose for me personally it might be the "CRisis on Infinite Earths"
stuff and the big Marvel change-over/revamping that pretty much
killed the last of the "classic" heroes by revising everything. That
was pretty much the biggest change in the super hero comics, sort of
a substantial throwing over of the old order. It's harder yet to say
when the Silver Age can be thought of as having ended. The early 70s,
certainly, when so many new people came in that super hero comics
pretty much went into a spiritual change. You know--the expected
super hero values were displaced by the new kids who thought
that "truth, justice, and the American Way" were too over-rated and
old fashioned.
What's more interesting is that there was really a nearly seemless
segue (did I spell that right? And me without a Funkin' Wagnells!)
from the Golden Age to the Silver Age. There were superheroes like
Plastic Man, The Human Torch, Captain America, and others up until
1954-56 (not to mention Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman
etc all through the period), and the Silver Age Flash appeared
in '56; so there was NOT a real distinction between the Golden/Silver
Ages. The seeming change was more, I think, a Roy Thomas and other
early comics fan affectation who noticed that there was sort of a
difference between the "classic" super hero years and the comics they
were reading in c. 1960, and they arbitrarily put the dividing line
at 1956. Personally, I sort of mentally divide the Golden Age into
two periods---1938-43 and 1943-56. The division here was the
disappearance of so many super heroes, (especially in the MLJ line as
Archie took over)so I think there is a big difference between, say,
1942 and 1946, in the content and style of the comics.
Hey--isn't it fun to spend so much time talking about such fluff???

I have always loved this tendency of comics fans to organize the
history of comics into these admittedly arbitrary frames. The
Platinum Age is everything until Action #1. The Golden Age lasts at
least through WWII (big debate here). The Atomic Age lasts until the
advent of the new Flash in Showcase #4. The Silver Age lasts a very,
very long time and ends at lots of arguable points. I think 1968 is a
good one, at about the time Marvel split off all of its titles like
Tales of Suspense and Strange Tales into individual character titled
books. I also see some logic to extending it to mid-70's and the
advent of the New X-Men. I've heard arguments for extending it to the
mid-80's and the finale of The Crisis on Infinite Earths, but this
one while appealing for neatness gives us a very large whopping
timeframe and all but eliminates the Bronze Age with for me is the
70's until the Crisis (maybe).
After that who knows. What would be a good name for the 80's? 90's?

I'd be in favor of the '90s being called the trash age of comics, he said
tongue in cheek.

I've always liked the '90s being termed as the
"tinfoil era" of comics ever since I heard the term...
It seems to fit.

Trash!? Come on be nice...but then I see your point. I'm with Doc
though the logic and elegance of "Tinfoil Age" does speak well for
the hyped and cover-enhanced time.
I happened to be flipping through some old boxes of comics with my
90's material and I was frankly surprised at the sorry quality of a
lot of it. I don't remember it being quite that bad. That may speak
well for the current comics for the most part. The Image look which
dominated nearly all superhero comics during the decade began as
nearly a parody of itself and quickly produced some truly strange
work. Women in particular were given odd treatment and some of those
outlandish costumes really look truly painful.

I have chanced upon a few copies of this war comic in the last few
weeks, and I've been surprised by the quality and intensity of the
stories. Charlton in general did pretty good war comics, and when you
compare them to things like Sgt.Fury and suchlike, they seem almost
realistic. While this series does the usual romantic take on war, it
does also offer a real insight into the mental and spiritual cost of
combat. The Corporal seems to be a true protagonist and has some real
complexity to his personality.
The stories I've seen were drawn by Nicholas Alascia and Sam
Glanzman. If I remember Glanzman was the regular artist, but just how
many others were involved? Anyone know?

Actually, I was being rather harsh. It's just that while I can remember
stories from the '60s and '70s, and even some from the '80s, I can't remember
that many that I liked from the '90s. The material (with quite a few
exceptions, I'll grant) is entertaining for the time you are reading it, but
a month later you'd be hard put to remember it.

I don't remember any other artists, but due to the poor distribution of
Charlton, I didn't get that many of their war comics on a regular basis. I
would have noticed Glanzman's art if I'd seen the books.

...Was Iron Corporal ( A German , I believe ??? ) just " stiff as iron
" , or , did he have an iron prosthetic ( whoo !!!!! ) hand ? Any
fantasy elements ? I believe a new material? I. C. title was part of
these " Last Gasp Years " of Charlton that I've written about my
fascination with...since I " experienced " 'em . briefly . ( '85-'86 . All
I remember seeing ( and buying !!!!! ) were Atomic Mouse
reprints , and these Ditko-centered anthologies , Charlton Action
w/Static , plus the talking ameobae (?) , etc. ) Wasn't , like DC's
old war titles , I. C. " only " a lead-off feature in an anthology-titled
war book , until then , likewise Willy Shultze , which , according to
that Texas 'xine's checklist , also had a - presumably , reprint -
'84-era title , as well ?

No, the Iron Corporal was an Aussie serving with the U.S. military
for some complicated reason. He wore one of thos Australian hats with
the one side strap up, but aside from that he was fairly typical
looking.
The character you are describing sounds a bit like a Civil War
character who I think showed up a few times at Charlton. I want to
say his name was General Doom or something like that, but I'm likely
off. He was one-armed or something and I think may have had a metal
hand or something.

...Yepper...'tis fun , indeed !!!!!!!
It's interesting that you see MLJ's junking of their SHs as such a
major sign/indicator...What Marvel chane..." , exactly , do you see
? DC DID have , specifically , the Crisis , plus Byrne/Superman ,
which were both ANNOUNCED " Okay , we're starting all over..."
thingies - did
people say " rebooting " in 1985/6 , anyway ??????? -
I'll hold on my " Reasons For 1969/70 " for a while , but , one
sub-factor I thought , related to it , and , here , my younger age
may point something out here , is that , by then , AFTER the
Batman/" camp " boom had been followed by the bust , likewise ,
the " lesser companies " sort of left SHs to DC and Marvel
entirely . I didn't really realize how many , if sorta halfhearted ,
attempts at SHs that C./Archie-Radio/Harvey ( others ????? ) did
, in the 1956-66 , roughly , period . Seems like , at least it does 2
me , that , by the late 60s , they'd decided " Uh uh . We'll leave
that to DC and Marvel . They're good at that . We'll do what we do
best . " And , that was to continue that may , basically , all through
th' 70s !!!!!!! ( Given that , as I've said , where I lived in the 70s ,
Gold Key was not distributed to the newsstands at all !!!!! - And ,
IIRC , what lil' " alternative " means of distribution that seeped
through only brought in their cartoon titles , which I think I didn't
spell out B4 - Perhaps I'm overlooking Western/GK/Whitman's "
sorta " super-heroes . Even so . But , anyway ! )
Y'know , actually , there IS , shock , more to comic books than
super-heroes . Really !!!!!!! Of course , that's what " fandom "
tends to concern itself with . Your thought about the terms we
use being set by the terms that the " First Fandom " folks ( That
accurate ? Y'know , th' peeps who were in " All In Color For A
DIME " , say ??????? ) used is interesting .
For " Age Rages " , I like the term " Cardboard Age " , actually ,
for the pre-" Action #1 " period ( Comes from the cardboard
" not-quite-books/more-than-just-magazines " covers that most
of the comics whatevers...anthologies , collections...issued in
that era , especially pre - 1920 ? WWI ? had , I believe . ) , but , I
realize the " Platinum Age "'s won .
Charlton , say , even in the 1965-1977 ( Uhhh , Giordano getting
an editor's position/the Action Heroes beginning @B set up ,
through their end , basically , as a , regularly issuing new
material , company , ) period , really , the straight-out "
super-heroes " , and the SHs-ish back-ups ,
like Wander , Mauser , ( basically always back-ups in the
super-hero titles anyway !!!!! ) , made up , what ????? Less than
5% of Charlton's output ??????? Really , just the Actons , then
E-Man , nothing , really , else . Try to count things like the Fightin'
Five , " sort of " super heroes-esque ( thogh not really taken as
them )...Still , less than 10% ? Assigning every book with a value
of " One " , not sales . Or printing runs .
Was 50% or more of '65-77 C. " not really noticed by most fans "
war/Western/romance ????? Perhaps 40% " some notice by
fandom in general " horror/SF/cartoon/liscenced media product "
( And , yes , 'course , the Phantom - and the other " serious " KFS
characters , did C, have - even in back-ups - others than Flash ,
Mandrake , and the Ghost Who Walks ? - could be seen as "
almost " super-heroes , even " real " ones , though myself , I'd
put them in " media liscencees " for now . ) ?
I guess there were , just focusing on SHs , many " come and go
" both major and minor , ( say ) '49-'56 SHs - ME's Avenger and
Strongman ( Leaving to the side , for now , that fan " Well that's a
costumed adventurer/masked detective , not REALLY a SH !!!!! "
hairsplitting - the Catholic Church's got enough problems
presently , I'll stay away from the " angels/Macerena/pin "
metaphor !!!!!!! - ! ) , the " Commie Smasher " revivals of the Atlas
Big Three - Perhaps Thomas/Bails's fondness 4 the All
American-side heroes of DC , which , perhaps for their "
immigrant " status , got discontinued - Perhaps even finding
National/DC's Holy Trinity* sort of ( Big Blue , especially . ) sort of
boring kind of influenced B-T's feelings , and , thus , their
language , which , sort of , influenced what we say ????????? I'd
agree , and disagree with you , in a sense .
*-Hey !!!!! And I thought that I was gonna leave Rome ALONE 4 a
while ?????????

I am wondering if anyone in our group---other than myself, I mean---
are or is fans of the MLJ heroes, either of the 1940's, the 1960's
revivals (hokier but mildly amusing), or of the 1980's Red
Circle/Archie Adventure Series revival-?? I myself rather like the
1980's revival, and I am brave enough to state so! Any interest out
there in discussing them? There was a lot of great talent in the 80's
versions, both in art and writing. And hey-did you know there TWO
SHIELD series by Red Circle? Only one is in the guide. ORIGINAL
SHIELD ran 4 issues. The Lancelot Strong version was called THE
SHIELD #1 and #2. The title changed for #3 to SHIELD STEEL STERLING.
#4 THROUGH #7 the title was simply STEEL STERLING, and none of these
are in the guide. The Lancelot Strong late 1950's version of the
character died in #3.

I hain't used this name in a while here , so...
( roughly ) '69-'70
Management/Ownership Reasons
Broome/Drake/Fox's axis's shitcanning from DC , after union
fiasco , causes need 4 mucho new writers , etc. Giordano's
arrival brings some , Wein/Wolfman sort of? symbolize " fan
background " wave starting . ( Even if Bridwell/Thomas predated
them . )
Happy Goodmans leave ( in...stages !!!!! ) Marvel , I believe
Leibowitzes , at DC , back down from very active involvement with
company .
" SUPERMAN " knocked off #1 title sales peak by " ARCHIE "
title . How long did Big Blue hold it ? Did any Bat-title ???????
Yes , doubtless , TV/records helped ol Arch' , but...hey ! Likewise
with DC , no ???????
Editorial , Etc.
Mort Wesinger retires . DC hands over the Supers to a large
variety of editors - Wanting 2 avoid 2 much concentration again ?
( Or , of course , looking 4 new ideers...)
Schwartz , "Superman " , " World's Finest "
Boltinoff , " Action " , " Superboy "
A Kanigher/Bridwell combination , credits-wise ? , " Lois Lane "
Kirby , " Jimmy Olsen "
Sekowsky , " Adventure " ( Supergirl )
Stan and Jack split up! , apparent. w/much bad feelings? ( I din'
read fan press then . )
Jack gets National-istic , with more publicity , I think , than any
CB creator's home arrangments had EVER received ?
Stan starts counting down - even if he don' realize it just yet ! - to
, by late 1972 , laying down ALL writing responsibilities .
15c price rise . Will last ( if that ) two years ! Previous one lasted
7 !!!!!!! Sets th' stage 4 a whole dancin' decade of itty-bitty price
rices , and semi-jumps back down , and effectiveprice raises in
level of production quality and # of ad pages..." The death of a
thousand cuts " , I believe it's called !
As I've mentioned , " other " companies , in wake of super-hero
bust , apparently dcide 2 conced SH field 2 DC and new big guys
Marvel . Basically continues throghout the 70s .
Super-heroes , though , DO contract , certainly at DC...even
remaining ones tend to demphasize shiny costumes , go for a
more " real " level...Diana Rigg Wonder Woman , ( and Human
Metal Men ! ) O'Neil/Adams Batman dropps Joker , etc. , even "
FLASH " goes through a few Rouge-less years , if you
remember that'n !!!!!!!
At Marvel , tho the more " experimental/fan-favorite " '68
launches ( Nick Fury , SSurfer , ) go bye-bye , they continue
publishing many many more titles...leaving the cozy " Marvel
Comics GROUP " image behind them forevermore...getting into
more , non-" Marvel " genres " .
Indeed , DC , too , and all across comicdom...It seems the
aftermath of a previous superhero bust is being echoed , with
genres that flourished before ( Western , romance...
and , especially , horror , natch . ) tried again .
Except for ( soon-to-fall ) Sugar & Spike , DC's 60s humor
books are falling away...except for teen ( Binky , Debbi , etc. )
attempt ( Though , by late-'72 , it would itself be gonesville ,
Daddio . ) .
" Superman " book , with revamp , becomes monthly - Even with
being surpassed in sales ? Beginning of end of newsstand
returns-oriented " eight-times-a-year " system . Beginning of "
cater to specific audiences , to the max " marketing philosophy ,
which , by the Nineties...
DC decides to end " no subscriptions " ideer...
Content
" Superman " Kryptonite Nevermore /" mod togs " revamp .
" Relevance " gives a bit of an enema/something new , ( An older
friend once recalled seeing Neal Adams - himself , somewhat "
younger " - on the Tonight Show , IIRC ! ) gets , along with
SuperVamp , Kirby , Spidey/Drugs , and , indeed , Code revamp
itself , mainstream media publicity - I remember , around then ,
NEWSWEEK , NEW YORK MAGAZINE , and Sunday NEW YORK
TIMES magazine articles - the Sunday Mag. one reproduced a My
Lai-insipired Sgt. Rock cover , on its cover - and a front of daily
second section TIMES Spidey/Code story !
Code loosening , among other things , certainly makes things
considerably easier 4 bugreoning horror and barbarian/S&S
genres...
For " our " company ( What , you thought I forgot 'em ? ) -
Uuhh , aahh , uuhh , Carpenters and James Tayor becoming big
makes for dull lyrics in HIT PARADER - No , no , no , no , no , the
swichover of ( much of ) the Hanna-Barbera account to Derby

having 100% of animation properties ( Okay , okay , okay , Harvey
! Uuhh - Well , by then , couldn't you say that Little Audrey ,
Herman/Katnip , etc. weren't that MAJOR as animation properties
. Were they even shown that much , really , outside of the East
Coast ? Hey , look , they were COMPANY-owned , so not likely to
switch , so...Archie , Uv Cawss , BECAME A. M. A. P. , by then...) .
Perhaps symbolic of how bad ( I guess . ) Gold Key's distribution
had become , and would become ?
Yes , yes , I know , H/B , obviously , would end up REGRETTING
IT...Whateva !

I am a fan. I have several revival books from the 80s. I think D.C. butchered a lot of the characters when they had them.

I'm with you on this. The old MLJ heroes are a lot of fun. My
collection has most of the original Mighty Crusaders issues and I
personally really liked Rich Buckler's 80's Red Circle revival of
that team. Buckler is one of those overlooked talents who has quietly
done some truly fine work at most if not all of the publishers over
the decades. I prefer the Kirby Shield over the Golden Age version
myself. My favorite MLJ character is likely the Comet. His history is
very wonky indeed. I have just a few of the DC Impact versions and
despite some good artwork they didn't really work for me, but then I
only got them from the back issue bins.
Of note is that just this month (and still on sale) The Jaguar makes
a guest appearance in Sabrina the Teen-Age Witch. I know it sounds
absurd, but the story is okay even if the characters are a bit off
the model so to speak.

I abso-tively agree with you that comics fans tend to disregard non-
super hero comics so much that their view of "The Comics" is focused
almost entirely on the super heroes, so what happens among super
heroes is "assumed" to be what happens to (all) "The Comics".
Specifically, the "Age" thing (Golden Age, etc) breaks down
completely when you think of ALL comic books! Westerns, horror,
crime, romance and animated/funny animal comics went along pretty
much undisturbed by whatever happened to super hero comics; certainly
there were periods of greater and lesser popularity for,say, crime
comics, but they all were hardly at all tied into the super hero
stuff. Even in terms of quality, there's no single set of "periods".
I myself even tend to fall into this trap. I hope it's not because
I'm a single minded hero fan--though I certainly was in my teens (but
even then I read books that were pretty much super heroes, like
Tarzan, Lone Ranger, The Phantom). Mainly it's just that it's a type
of short hand. If I say "The golden Age Jack Kirby art", I don't have
to specify much more and everyone pretty much knows what I'm talking
about.

Dean-thanks for the tip of Jaquar in Sabrina. I will see if I can
locate one. You might further like to know that the Mighty Crusaders,
in the last year or so, also appeared in Archie's Weird Mysteries--2
issues of that series, #3, and I forget the other issue, as I have
them at home. One of those I have 2 copies of, if you wish to trade
something for it. They are quite fun, if light.

Dean---I also have an extra copy of red circle comics' 1983 Mighty
Crusaders#1---in case you (or anyone else for that matter) are
interested in trading for that one. This is actually a really nice
issue. I, too, have many red circle mlj '80's comics but not all.
Still need most Mighty Crusaders, (#3 up with a few exeptions), many
Blue Ribbon Comics,(#&7 up except that I do have #12), and Steel
Sterling #4 to #7. but I do have all nine issues of the Fly's from
the 1980's. (Got those at a flea market for 25 cents each, and they
are in great shape!) Anyone have any of these titles to sell or trade?

Howdy. My name is Joe Zierman. I started collecting comics in the
early 70's picking up the occasional Charlton; only recently however
have I begun to discover all that was the Charlton universe.
In recent months, I've been trying to get my mitts on a low-grade
copy of Charlton Premiere #1, with no luck. I'm especially interested
in the Steve Skeates scribed tale therein, "The Tyro Team".
Is there any chance anyone with a copy would be willing to scan and
post a few pages of this tale? If so, I'd love to see this.
Thanks.

Thanks but I have those Archie Mystery issues featuring the MLJ
heroes. Those were fun, and better tha nothing, but there is a lot of
wasted potential there for Archie to make some fun comics. Hopefully
the success of these guest appearances will inspire them to try out
superheroes again in a stand alone book.
Rich Buckler is very underrated. The rap he took (unfairly to my
mind) for drawing too much like Kirby (to even swiping poses and
such) has hurt the reputation of one of the Bronze Age's dominant
artists. He could do a darn good Kirby and a reputable Buscema or
Adams, but Buckler also had his own style which is shown to great
effect in those Red Circle books. Hopefully he will get is
recognition before very much longer.

Dean-I agree with you that Rick Buckler is an incredible talent!
Unfortunately, he was saddled with some lackluster scripts often. Me,
I rather liked the 2 issue comet series-billed as a 6 issue series on
the covers, oddly, and also the 3 issue Black Hood series. Mighty
Crusaders was fun, but the writing wasn't that good (great art!) To
me, the Fly outfit looks very dated, and I loved Blue Ribbon Comics,
and the Steel series#4-7. Maybe Archie Comics is testing the waters
re: Mighty Crusaders for a new revival? Dare we hope? If they got
strong writers and artists (great art cannot forever, in a comic,
stand alone with average or below par writing to sustain titles)---
perhaps a revival could actually fly. One of the biggest complaints
on the letters pages back then was the LACK of character development.
There was some, admittedly. What do you think, Dean?

In case anyone is interested in trading for them, in a collection I
bought on Saturday, I now have duplicates (multiples) of the Red
Circle Mighty Crusaders#1 and also some Red Circle Fly#1 and #2's.
Not interested in making any profit on them. Would like to trade for
something I don't have.

What made me laugh in one of the ORIGINAL SHIELD'S (Red Circle's)---
it was #3 or #4---was when the Shield decided he was going back
to "his original costume". The other costume he had on was the same
costume , but with a pair of red trunks over it, held up by a belt.
For drama's sake, I guess, the artist had him remove the entire
outfit including trunks, then don a 2nd (same uniform), but without
trunks. And this he called his "original outfit", instead of just
taking those goofy trunks off. Ha,ha! Man! I do recall that in the
sixties, though, those same trunks were blue,not red.
The other goofy thing was that very team name, "The Mighty
Crusaders". Does that strike FEAR into your heart? Obviously, those
creators in the 1960's sat around a table remarking how
the "Avengers" name was already taken, both by Marvel, and also by
Patrick Mcnee and Diana Rigg. Frankly, I liked most of the 1980's Red
Circle comics, but that team name---sheeee! I think possibly my
favourite Red Circle character was The Web. I just like those crazy
longjohns!

Yes, one of the inscrutable conundrums of the Charlton revival of
Blue Beetle in the 1960's was that Charlton never took the time to
explain the relationship between the policeman Dan Garrett Blue
Beetle and the archaeologist Blue Beetle Dan Garrett.
However, someone did broach the issue at Americomics/AC. In
Americomics#3, the claim was made that the policeman Dan Garrett and
the archaeologist Dan Garrett were the same person.
How the writer would have explained this odd career path was not
clear. One panel mentioned that the Golden Age Blue Beetle fell
victim "to a mad scientist's bomb".
I suppose the writer had an amnesia scenario in mind. Does anyone
remember anything about this?

I have that issue around here somewhere and I'll investigate when I
have a chance. But it does make me wish that AC had gotten hold of
the rights to those characters instead of DC. We would never have
gotten lengthy series featuring Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, and The
Question, but I think Bill Black's little company is in many respects
the natural heir to the independent Charlton tradition. Black really
loves the material he and his cohorts put out, and a little of that
caring touch would go a long way with these neglected and misused
characters.

I agree. DC purchased those Charlton heroes, and for the most part made pap
out of them. This is in part because the creators of the Charlton heroes,
guys like Ditko, Morisi, Boyette, etc. were so unique in their drawing styles
and outlook that it would be hard to duplicate their styles by other, not to
say lesser, hands. And while I'm here, let me mention Rocke Mastroserio, who
is perhaps the most underappreciated Charlton artist. I am grateful for
whatever work of his I see being reprinted nowadays, and can only wish that
more of it be reprinted.

I really hated that story, since it gave the Blue
Beetle a "cosmic" origin and totally disregarded the
Fox character in favour of the Charlton Dan Garrett.
My personal theory has always been that the original
Blue Beetle's sidekick, Sparky (Sparkington J.
Northrup, who had strawberry blonde hair just like the
Charlton Dan Garrett as opposed to the black hair of
the Fox Garrett), grew up to become the archaeologist
Dan Garrett of Charlton with a name change in honour
of his friend and wartime crimefighting partner.
If anyone's interested, I can post a scan from that
story which makes the two very different Dan Garretts
out to be the same man (something I'm glad was never
made official).

I have to just butt in to say that I think we all owe a thanks to
Bill Black for his 30-year stint at breinging back to public view so
many great comics characters. I don't know the guy--though I met him
once years and years ago--but he's done a tremendous, often
thankless, but admirably persistant job at keeping a certain comics
tradition alive. I personally loved being able to buy a lot of the
jungle girl, western, and GA super hero comics he's published and I
agree with the writer of the previous post that it would have been
great if Black had been able to keep the Charlton action heroes for a
while and kept them out of the hands of DC. While Black mostly
reprints material, I think he might have allowed CARING writers to
enhance, rather than exploit the Charlton properties. And I think the
unique touches that made each Charlton character stand out would have
made them worthy alternatives to the Marvel/DC stables.
Anyway, I just wanted to take the time to point out that Bill
Black has done an admirable job over many years.

I just purchased Americomics #3 last weekend. What was said by way of
explanation was that the stories in it would have originally appeared
in an issue of Charlton Bullseye, if the book had survived. Frankly,
I dislike the idea that the original Blue Beetle was the same as the
1960s version. I mean, other than the name and general costume design
(it was blue with gauntlets), they were entirely different.
Hey, I have it!, The Fox stories take place on a parallel Earth, much
like the Charlton Earth, but where things take place 20 years
before...

It is interesting that the conversation has turned to Bill Black's AC
Comics. Because, you see, over the past week or so, I have been doing
a lot of research on AC Comics history. Here is what I have learned:
AC Comics was, prior to the early 1980's, known as Paragon
Publications. Thus, the name of one of their characters, Captain
Paragon. But, did you also know: Cap Paragon's first appearance was
in Captain Paragon #1, 1970? (!!!) Not to be confused with the 4
issue Captain Paragon 4 issue series several years later. This is a
rare one shot. You can see it's b and w cover by plugging in PARAGON
PUBLICATIONS, selecting option #6, and going to the website you see
there. You can also see the cover for #2 there, with a different
title on the cover. Tara the jungle girl is on cover #2. I have
learned PARAGON PUBLICATIONS published numerous comics in the early
70's to early 80's, some others of which were: MACABRE WESTERN#1,
PHANTOM LADY#1, and many, many others. All are rare, none are in the
Price Guide, and they had very,very small print runs. Interesting,
yes. What do you think of that, Dean? Me, I am a big AC fan, but not
of FemForce.

As a follow-up on the origins (or related info) on early
predescessors of ac comics (and if you can spell that predec.....
word, you're a better man than me!!---)--- you might be interested in
knowing about some rare finds in my collection. These are: NIGHT
VOYAGES PRESENTS (inside in the indicia it says SWASHBUCKLERS#1). It
is a large, mag-sized (or larger), and much thicker, profusely
illustrated fanzine that is almost entirely comic book stories new
for that edition, by such people as Rich Burchett, etc,etc. In this
is the very first appearance of (later AC's) Colt the Weapons
Mistress, and some other AC characters. I also have SWASHBUCKLERS
#2,#3 and #4. But I don't know if issues #5 up were published or not.
Any ideas??? Anyone know? Also, anyone else know about obscure pre-AC
PARAGON PUBLICATIONS zines and comics, none of which are in the
guide???

Thanks a bunch for the info. AC is the one independent company (save
for Bongo's Radioactive Man) which I buy at all. I was around for
those early AC color comics back in the early 80's which sold for the
then shocking price of two whole dollars (oh for the days).
I am a Femforce fan all the way. I am occassionaly put off by the
more repellant mysoginistic attitudes reflected in some of the books,
but the general tone of the book is more like a fun 60's comic than
any other book on the market. Brad Gorby is a true unknown talent of
high quality who frankly reminds of John Byrne and his early Charlton
work. In Byrne's case he went on to grander things in comics. Gorby
has mostly disappeared, at least as far as I can tell.
I have been lucky enough to find a few of those old 70's Paragon
publications and they are interesting to say the least. Clearly there
is a fannish quality to the work and again a tendency to focus a bit
too much on female secondary sexual physical traits, but overall they
have an enthusiasm and sense of fun missing in many if not most
comics these days.
The AC reprints tend to be a bit pricey (I understand why) so when I
do find one for a discount price I generally scoop it up. But it
would have been cool indeed if instead of Atoman we had Captain Atom,
instead of Scarlet Scorpion we had Blue Beetle, and I'm sure Black
and the boys could find a place for Nightshade.

Dean-you are welcome. Can you kindly give me some info as to what
PARAGON PUBLICATIONS (and also any AC info not in guide) as to what
related fannish publications you have in your collection you were
referring to, please. I fancy myself an amateur comics historian, and
I am trying to find out just what was published. Dealers don't even
know! Thus, any help of info you can give me would be greatly
appreciated! EG: title names, how many #'s published, company names,
artists, writers, what characters and featured, and dates published--
month and year. I would GREATLY appreciate any info you can kindly
provide. Thanks!

http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/1185/atlas4.html notest that a
hypothetical parallel Earth has been created for the policeman Dan
Garrett.
Earth-Fox
During the Golden Age Fox published a number of characters including
the original Blue Beetle I. Years later the Charlton group bought up
the rights for a number of Fox properties and added them to their
stable (Earth-Four). The Earth-Fox also had a copy of the Phantom
Lady. It would seem that when DC acquired the rights to the National
characters in the Silver Age that they assumed that they also had
rights to the Phantom Lady who had been originally published by
Quality. However the character had in part transferred to Fox where
she become popular before the Comic Code came in. This Fox Phantom
Lady was not part of the properties picked up by Charlton and now
published by AC Comics as part of their Golden Age reprint titles and
has been worked into the Femforce all female superteam.
http://www.enjolrasworld.com/Annotations/Golden%20Age%
20Annotations.htm notes that the Golden Age Blue Beetle may have
appeared in issue#4 of the Golden Age mini-series
Page 12 The Golden Age Blue Beetle appears on this page, in all three
of the group panels. To my reckoning, he is the only character in
this series who was not owned in the '40s by either DC or Quality
Comics (with the exception of the cameos on page 6 of Book One).
Blue Beetle's wartime adventures were published by Fox Publishing,
and ownership of the character had passed to Charlton Comics in the
1960s.

This may not help much, but there is a webpage which gives a really
comprehensive list of fanzines. I'll see if I can "rediscover" it and
post it here--I'd like to visit it again anyway. It's a huge
checklist. The reason I mention that is because Black's early efforts
were considered "fanzines" and not comics--a larger size, cardstock
covers, black and white interiors, etc. That's why the Price Guide
won't list 'em.
Want a personal anecdote? When I met Bill Black in person while a
friend was dropping off some art (Bill Fugate, did stuff for "Big
Bang Comics", Disney's "The Little Mermaid", etc.), we were all
discussing various things; as it turned out, at the time (1980) (and
I presume, still), Black made extra money drawing fetish art for
private individuals. Now Bill Black is a bit of a prude...he doesn't
much tolerate nudity, much less anything that shows fornication/porn.
But he does like women in very revealing outfits and black stockings,
underwear, etc. I remember him mentioning one client who wanted him
to draw an extreme close-up of a suspender clasp holding up a silk
stocking on a woman's leg--not the woman, not even much of the lag,
just a close-up of the clasp and top of the stocking!
For me, personally---as much as I admire Black's energy and
persistance, I find most of the NEW stuff unreadable. Femforce and
any of the new stories are terribly written in my own ever-humble
opinion. (I'm not saying no one should read the stuff, I'm just
saying what I think).
But all in all, you gotta admire the guy!
Anyone know what a guy named Brad Foster is doing these days? Used
to do a zine titled "Fever Pitch" (among many others).

I recently picked up a Dr. Graves' Haunted Puzzle Book by Charlton
Press from eBay. The cover is the Tom Sutton logo to The Many Ghosts
of Dr. Graves and the Haunted logo together, with Peter Morisi art
from a Vengeance Squad cover to make a rather eery looking picture.
It's a little bigger than digest size and has several illos by Ditko,
Sutton, Morisi and Boyette, among others, and lots of text and mazes
and puzzles. It was distributed through the Xerox Book Club.
I'd seen lots of the 1970s Marvel maze and puzzle books, but never a
Charlton Press puzzle book, so I was wondering if anyone on the list
knows anything about this item. It doesn't have a date that I can find
and is in great shape, although some of the mazes and puzzles have
been worked.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mik

Chas and Dean---thanks for your helpful info!!!!!!!!!
On another note, who remembers (and or collected) the 9 issue DC
Firebrand title of a few years ago? Not to be confused with the
Golden Age Firebrand, nor the female Firebrand character in All Star
Squadron. This firebrand wore a purple armoured cosutme with a large
metal gold add on over the shoulders, and an orange helmet, that was
surrounded by this green flamy mist. Visually, I thought this
character was the coolest. I rather liked this series even though the
art was kind of Neal Adams clone-ish. Hey, nothing wrong with that.
But I was mighty peeved when I read JSA Secret Files and Origins#2,
and this character was killed off by writer Geoff Johns, a man I have
learned to hate---for that. Still, I like his writing on JSA the
regular title. What can I say? I liked this new Firebrand! What say
the rest of you?

I collected the FIREBRAND series of a few years ago
because I liked the writer (Brian Augustyn, right?),
and I had almost been expecting to see a new FREEDOM
FIGHTERS series one of these days, since there seemed
to be so many revamps of Quality Comics characters in
the early '90s (the Ray, Black Condor, et cetera) all
at the same time. Did anyone else expect this to
happen? I'd really like to see a new Doll Man or Doll
Girl series, but since the silver age Atom who was
highly influenced by Doll Man has never really been
successful in the last decade or so, I don't see it
happening.

...Was this FIREBRAND a series where the character had a Hispnic ( or
Italian ) name , and lived in a " Little Hispanica " ( or , uh , "
Italy " ) slum neighborhood , and his brother was a Catholic priest ,
or , anyway , a seminarian ? I remember a mid-90s DC along those
lines , and I've been " trying to remember " ( To quote THE
FANTASTIKS , which had a somewhat longer run ! )...

Recently, I located a used book store that has tens of thousands of
mint 1980's alternative title publishers. Titles included near
complete runs of Justice Machine, Elementals, Protectors, Arrow one
shot (member of Protectors), and numerous others, for 25 to 50 cents
each. I purchased near complete runs of all these titles. I read 4 or
5 a day and am very enthused by these titles that I had overlooked as
a callow youth. many have LOCs by my late Toronto friend, "TM MAPLE",
alias Jim Burke.
Was anyone else that visits the site a fan of these titles? I am a
new convert! Better late than never, I say!

I was more a fan of the Protectors from Malibu than of the Image stuff
coming out from Malibu at the same time. The Protectors are updated
Centaur Comics characters from the 1940s and had some big names who
worked on the series when it was out in the early 1990s, including Tom
Derenick, Mike S. Miller, Samuel Clarke Hawbaker and Mike Deodato Jr.
I own the cover to one issue of Protectors, though I can't seem to
recall on which issue it appeared. It has Man of War getting ready to
slice the head off Dr. Monday (I think that's his name -- been awhile
since I read these books) by Samuel Clarke Hawbaker, who later went on
to pen Marvel's Nomad series. It's one of the best covers I've ever
bought, but no art dealer will touch it, because it's not by a name
company.
Can anyone help me with the issue number of this cover art? It was a
black cover and was an early issue of Protectors -- maybe even one of
the variant covers they ran.
Thanks so much,
Mike Browning

Marvel also owns the Ultraverse characters, with which their second
tier characters and even the X-Men mingled with during the mid-1990s.
Some of those properties were pretty good and should be dusted off and
used, but, for some reason, they're not. They're almost the equivalent
to DC's Charlton characters -- severely underused.
And while I'm on the subject of DC's underuse of the Charlton
characters ...
I know DC did a good job with the Archie superheroes under their
Impact line a few years ago ... wouldn't it be nice if they had put as
much cash behind their Charlton heroes and put them into the Impact
line? I love the old Archie characters, but they just never seemed to
find their audiences. I didn't much care for what DC did with the
Charlton heroes in The LAW miniseries. Maybe one of these days they'll
get them right ...

Chas---did you ever find that comprehensive list of websites
regarding fanzines???? You said you would look into it. I am just
wondering if you had any luck, as I am greatly interested in finding
out. Thanks.

What got me hooked on The Elementals and Justice Machine was the
Texas Comics team up between JM and THUNDER Agents, which had The
Elementals as a back-up feature. I read The Elementals until it
started getting too weird for me, and JM as long as I could afford
it. A peed at Mile High Comics' Internet Store shows me I missed a
lot. Hmmmm... I have all the THUNDER Agents comics, most of hte
Atlas, a good many of the Wally Wood and Russ Manning books... I need
to pull out my Justice Manchine books and see what I do have. Maybe
when I finish Sea Hunt...
I also have a Role Playing game version of Justice Machine from
Palladium, I think.
