Charlton Sci-Fi

Very short thread. Are we done? Are those the best covers?

 

We're done. Except my covers were disconnected.

What's up with GCD? No more hot links?

 

Are you a VIRUS? gO aWAY bAD dREAM...

Truth be told - it's a short list if we're refering to anything close to "Best".

 

Are you drunk? What's with all the typography change-up?

I dont have many more Charltons, but there are plenty great issues of OUT OF THIS WORLD, SPACE ADVENTURES, etc. with fantastic covers that could be displayed - even the not so great covers are fun to look at.

 

C'mon you Charlton fans...dont be shy!

I just picked this one up from Dawgwindu in his board sales thread:

 

 

Shark

I just got this one from a board membe (by accident...I bought another comic but got this one by mistake). It's got a cool early Aparo story in it.

This thread needs some love...anyone have some nice Charltons to post?

 

In the meantime, here is a link to a really interesting article on Charlton monster comics -- Gorgo, Konga, Reptilicus(saurs) -- that I saw on the Ditko-L Yahoo list.

How about a Konga vs Flying Saucer with Aliens cover

[Tony D]

This one is hard to find in grade

[Tony D]

I like this one a lot

[AtlasFan]

How about a Konga vs Flying Saucer with Aliens cover

 

Cool cover. Those are some great Ditko aliens.. I am sure that these guys appeared in a pre-her Atlas story...I will have to investigate.

Another favorite

Really nice Ditko cover

Three classic pre-code Ditko Sci-Fi covers

A book I regret selling.

Captain Atom vs Space Bugs

Another classic Ditko Sci-Fi cover, signed J. Kodti.

 

[AtlasFan]

Nice collection you have there Tony!

 

Those pre-code SPACE ADVENTURES are simply Out of this World! Love those pre-code covers. #12 is always a fan-favorite, but I really think the #10 with the robots is a better cover -- very dynamic.
