As the homeland of comics, America was - and still is - idealized by cartoonists as a somewhat ultimate goal, the only place in the world where the creator of a successful character may become as "rich and famous" as a film or sport-star.
Comics were introduced into Italy a few years after their appearance in the United States: from 1908 onwards the weekly paper Corriere dei Piccoli ("Children's Courier") published the Sunday pages of Buster Brown, Happy Hooligan, The Newklyweds, Bringing Up Father, Little Nemo.

 The Charlton Empire - Comic Book Artist #9 - TwoMorrows Publishing
The comics output settled down to pretty standard Comics Code-approved fare of genre material—romance, war, westerns, kiddie, science-fiction, "Unusual Tales," though super-heroes were represented by a lone entry, the four-issue revival of Blue Beetle in 1955.
The primary writer of virtually all the Charlton books was Joe Gill, ever-present at his desk with typewriter, who is arguably the most prolific writer in the history of comics, producing as much as 100 pages in scripts a week, stories often as pedestrian as the artwork.
Ford, former Frank McLaughlin apprentice, attempted a revival of the line in 1986, but the dog was dead and, by 1988, the bones were picked dry as Roger Broughton, a Canadian publisher, acquired nearly 5000 pages of original art from 40 different Charlton titles, some it eventually appearing under Broughton's imprint, ACG Comics.

Well, the Manila artist happily admits that what has happened to his life in the past few years is on a par with the amazing stories that appear in the comic books in which his work appears.
The American bible of the industry, Wizard: The Comic Magazine, has described his work as being "drop dead gorgeous," and "stunning." All that is even more impressive when one considers that the award-winning Anacleto was never formally trained in art — and is a dentist by profession.
The youngster drew a lot in his spare time, but comic books did not become a passion until he moved to Manila to study dentistry in 1985.
