The Charlton Guy-migration

Bought this little beater this week.

 

 

 

Gorgeous...simply gorgeous.

"I'm not getting older, I'm getting better!"

"If the Nazian spys miss you, the Klan'll get you!"

 

Why would the Klan be after Dr. H?

 

I don't know, but I'd like to find out. Maybe he can post the rest of the story?

 

Bwa ha ha .... only the first page is free.

 

Scans were scavenged from www and the last page of the story won't dowload. No time to tweak all the scan for posting here (too big etc.) so I'll just give you the urls here:

 

Page 1

 

Page 2

 

Page 3

 

Page 4

 

Page 5

 

This should be the missing last page:

Page 6

 

They were on CharltonGuy's discussion group -- CG, if you're tuned in, do you have the last page?

 

It's a very loopy story! After reading it, if you know why the Klan would be after Dr. H, please let us all know!

Hey Jack!

That one truly is a story for the ages. Not in my collection yet, but you can bet your sweet bippy that I'm looking...

Here's a link to the entire story, posted by "malaprop" over at The Corral:

It starts at the bottom of page 3, continued right up to the exciting conclusion on page 4. The images are very large (but very good), so be patient.

Enjoy!

Space War #2 from 1959:

Space War #8 from 1960:

And the Coop dur Grass, a nine-cloud special:

The only think about DC I really like is the checker board top on the 60s books

And the pink background covers.

Yes.. why?

Yes...why indeed...why...indeed...

You going to crack it when it gets home?

No, I'll likely keep this slabbed copy intact, at least until I get a chance to upgrade.

I still have my reader copy.

And it was a good weekend in The Charlton Zone, so I gathered up these two beauties on Feebay too:

SPACE WAR #2 from 1960:

And SPACE WAR #8 with an awesome Ditko cover:

Oooh!

"The wrong silicon mixture" -- I can see why you couldn't resist it.

 

(Do you have a reader copy? Any good element stuff in the story?)

 

Nice catch for about the cost of the slab job.

It's one of my favorite Sci-Fi B Movie Charlton tales.

The silicon mixture in question allows the wearer of the glasses to see weird creatures from another dimension. Or are they seeing into ours? Or are they actually manipulating our dimension behind the scenes?

Charlton stories like this are like The Twilight Zone on steroids (or maybe Tums).

And yes, I have a mid-grade reader, but this book it is of personal significance because thanks to the proliferation of comic book discussion boards and personal avatars associated with the same, this has somewhat become my "signature book" if you will.

CHARLTON COMICS GIVE YOU MORE!

Thanks!

And you're right. It was the anteater that sold that one. That and Egghead's really twisted right eye.

I look forward to reading the Atom 2 in full. Thanks for the sneak preview!

My Books of the Week, purchased from Lange's (nice selection this month):

And I couldn't resist these TTA Antman gems:

And, what week would be complete without a Charlton or two (or three of four):

He'll k'ck yo' righ' up'side the HA'D!

Yeah...even C.G. buys a slab or two.

 

 

From time to time...

I am offended by asterisks.

 

I thought'd it w's apostrophe's?

No, I love apostrophes you d'psh't.

E'n d'psh't's ha'e the'r br'ak'in' poin't Bust'r!!!

Don;t ma'e me cal' 'in the Big 'C'!

Hey CG.......did they let you out for the night on good behavior??? ......BH.......

It's C.G.'s Hip-Hop Night!

They let me out to rap up a

freakin' comic book storm!

Yeah...even C.G. buys a slab or two.

 

 

From time to time...

I am offended by asterisks.

I thought'd it w's apostrophe's?

Thanks. It is a sweety. Tough cover.

You can actually hear Bill Gaines shouting "Ki$$ my !!" on this one...50 years later...

Yeah...even C.G. buys a slab or two.

From time to time...

Thanks!

Yeah, the #11 is sweet. Just a tinsy-weensy chip on the top edge of the back cover, otherwise...well, we'll see. I do love this book.

The #14 actually has some outstanding color and gloss as well, particulary on the blue field, but enough other minor issues to keep it shy of NM territory. Still a sweet book with a sharp interior.

And yes, I am looking for a #12 and #15 in similar condition.

Hey gang! Just to show that although Charlton books are still the end-all be-all of my collecting existence, I do have a soft spot in my heart for The Avengers:

Here's a few from the CHAOSUS Hoboken collection that I hope to submit this month.

So waddaya think, huh? Huh?
