		Charlton Comics is where Steve Ditko (Spiderman, Doctor Strange) concentrated his efforts after leaving Marvel, and he produced some of his finest work on Charlton's super-hero, science fiction and horror comics well into the Seventies.
		Charlton's attempt to be Mad magazine, with nice humor art by Jim Aparo and future underground artist Grass Green, who illustrates 'The BLA vs the Marvelous Super-Heroes', cleverly written by Gary Friedrich.
		All of these creators got their starts at Charlton under editor Dick Giordano, and the Charlton comics produced at this time have an exuberance brought out by young artists set free.

		Also, a few Charlton comics of that period were based on licensed properties, such as the TV sitcom My Little Margie, the newspaper strip Brenda Starr and the radio drama Tales of the Mysterious Traveler.

	Charlton Comics - The Question / Vic Sage Site
		When Ditko left Marvel in 1966 (the reason remains a subject for debate), he found himself in familiar surroundings at at Charlton Comics, where he'd helped create the atomic superhero Captain Atom during his first decade of work in the 50s (as well as tons of other characters and stories in the pulpy Charlton pages).
		But the profits were down for Charlton Comics, and the hero line was downsized.
		It is a testament to Ditko's skill that this character, few as his Charlton appearances may have been, still inspires discussion and debate to this day.

	Charlton Comics
		Charlton was a company that was based out of Derby, Conneticut, unusual in that they owned their own printing press (albeit not a very good one, as it had previously been used to print cereal boxes).
		Since then many of the Charlton heroes have continued to play major roles in their new home.
		It should be noted that while E-Man was published for a while by Charlton (before moving on to Modern Comics, and then First), he remained creator owned, and was not bought out by DC.

	Alan Moore Interview - Comic Book Artist #9 - TwoMorrows Publishing
		Charlton would be at some points low on the list, but then, there was a wonderful period which I later realized was when Dick Giordano was having a great deal of creative say in the Charlton books, when they became very high on the list.
		So, Dick had purchased the Charlton characters for DC, and he was looking for some way to use them, and Dave and I put forth this proposal which originally was designed around a number of the Charlton characters.
		I suppose ABC comics is sort of an attempt to build an ark, where all of my favorite concepts, things that I think should be included in comics, you know, can maybe survive the deluge.

		Charlton Comics was a minor comic book publishing house that existed from 1946 to 1986.
		Throughout this period, their war comics also filled a niche although their approach to the Vietnam War did not endear themselves to the burgeoning anti-war movement in the 1960s.
		Today, all that is left are the superhero characters which were acquired by DC Comics in 1983 and put to their best known use in disguised form in the Watchmen mini-series by Alan Moore.

		The editors at Charlton (George Wildman, Nick Cuti, and Bill Pearson at that time) took some notice and eventually started sending some assignments for illustrations to accompany the text stories in their animated line.
		Although I was receiving occasional frontispiece assignments for the Marvel fl and white magazines by way of Roy Thomas, it was Charlton that kept me going those first few years.
		Charlton didn't use the usual artist assembly line for pages, they preferred to send out a script and receive the art back penciled, inked, and lettered.

	Talent Pool 19 - Denny O'Neil (Dec 1999)
		From Charlton to DC The available jobs writing for Marvel petered out fairly quickly, and O'Neil, wishing to continue as a writer, took a job with Charlton Comics under the grotesque pseudonym of Sergius O’Shaugnessy.
		Unfortunately for Charlton, but to the great benefit of the talent displaced, Charlton comics shut down its superhero line in the late 1960s.
		Comics readership might prefer that he continue to work in perpetuity, even if this involves a gradual curtailing of output (such as ninety-year-old Will Eisner's continued presence within comics as its Official Elder Statesman).

		In the 1980s, Charlton's superhero properties were bought by DC Comics, which used Captain Atom two different ways.

		Charlton Comics was the brainchild of Italian immigrant John Santangelo and disbarred attorney Edward Levy who met in jail, Santangelo for copyright infringement by printing unlicenced song sheet music, and Levy for involvement with a Waterbury political scandal.
		Charlton had a reputation for low rates for both artists and writers, but by turns there was little editorial interference which allowed greater creative freedom.

	Unca Cheeks Silver Age Comics Site: Charlton
		And -- of course -- the friggin' things were so poorly distributed, nation-wide, in the first place that attempting to track down two consecutive issues of damned near any of the Charlton Comics titles was roughly akin, in general overall difficulty, to nailing an egg to the wall.
		DC Comics obtained the rights to the entire stable of Charlton super-heroes in the early '80's, after the venerable (ifcheapjack, nonetheless) publisher had finally folded its comics- publishing "tents" for good and for all.
		The Blue Beetle, as of this writing, is on something of a prolonged "hiatus," as DC allows the mass memories of the readership (eventually; with any luck at all) to forget -- or, at least, forgive -- the manifold indignities suffered by the character at the shaky artistic "hands" of his own (putative) Boswells.

		Ken's comic sometimes features what are called 'complete western novelettes', or, in the case of issue #7, 'a complete western serial'; this one, with the intriguing title 'The Seven Wonders of the West'.
		This is partly due to the timeframe involved, as comics didn't really hit their stride until the end of the 30s, some years after McCoy's generation of cowboy stars had peaked.
		At that point Fawcett left the comic business, but Hoppy was popular enough to be picked up by National Periodical Publications (commonly known as DC Comics) the most important comics company of the time, starting with issue #86 in early 1954 and continuing through issue #135 in 1959.

		Probably the best known of all Phantom comics in the U.S.A., this series of 73 colour comics was published between Nov 1962 and Jan 1977, under three different publishers.
		The cover artwork on the first three of these comics were by Bill Lignante, while all others appear to have been lifted directly from panels of Sy Barry's newspaper strips.
		At the same time, the number of comics being printed was gradually falling, but at a lesser rate than the number that were being sold.
