Garage Sale find for 25 cents. Love and Romance Vol. 5 No. 24 September, 1975 Only one staple!

I am not a Charlton expert. I don't know a lot about their history (although I bet it is probably interesting), or even have a lot of their books. When I was a kid, every used book store invariably had a small pile of comics and they were almost always beat up Charltons. Every antique shop and thrift shop had a small stack of comics sitting on an old table and there were always Charltons in the pile. Almost every collection I buy has at least 1 or 2 Charlton. No matter how tattered and torn they are by the time I get to them, they somehow make me smile. For the most part, Charlton comics are pretty terrible. However I have a growing fondness for the enduring #makecomics passion that they must have had in order to persevere with such obvious drek. In a day and age when every collector I know is looking almost exclusively for big "keys", I am always thrilled to get Charlton comics for a quarter. Every one I buy gets a new bag and board and a new home in a special box in my collection marked "Other". Maybe someday there will be a box marked "Charlton". This thread will be dedicated to sharing your Charlton comics, stories, expertise and history. Please participate with a spirit of brotherhood and mutual respect. Also, here at the top of the thread I would like to compile a list of famous Charlton alumni. Please mention any that you know in the thread (especially if you can post example of their work) and I will edit this list.

When I buy a collection, I always like finding little Whitman surprises!
