I'm very impressed you've been able to find all those. I know there were a handful of Cartoon Spice 3s that came out years ago, but I don't recall ever seeing any of the others. Congrats!

 

Care to show any interior shots?

I'll try to remember to post some this weekend.

I don't collect girlie cartoon digest but I do deal them in. Below is a link to some. I don't think they are Charltons as they were not published in Derby, CT where Charlton had its printing presses, but they are the same type of quality with the same cartoonists like Bill Wenzel:

Of course, the best girlie cartoon digests were the Humorama digests published by Martin Goodman of Marvel comics fame. They had the best cartoonists and photos of well known pinup models:

I think it's cool seeing those. It's unbelievable how many publishers had their hand in the genre.

 

Your page lists digest sized publications. The Charlton titles I have collected & posted are comic sized or magazine sized. The majority of the content is gag cartoons rather than text.

 

The later ones were thin magazines.

 

 

 

 

 

From what I can tell, they were still publishing these up until 1986, a couple of years past the regular comic line ending.

 

I still prefer the older ones like this... very HTF.

 

 

There was an earlier magazine titled "Good Humor" that came out in 1948. That's a good 11 years before the comic sized series. It's mostly text and photos, but it does have some cartoons scattered inside.

Here are some Marvel publications.. I don't like the quality of the cartoons as much.

I've seen them dating back to the late 30s. I picked one up recently titled "Screwball" IIRC, I'll have to find & scan it.

I've discovered a new Charlton rarity. Unfortunately it has no indicia so I can't confirm either the year it was made or the issue number. The lack of indicia leads me to believe it was produced circa 1959. I'm calling this #115 since that is the number on the cover.

 

Those French Cartoons #115

I have a few that have found their way into the collection, one copy of eye opener, not the one you've shown.

Do you know what issue number it was? I'm trying to get an idea of how long the series ran.

I guess these are technically bronze, but the title began in the early silver age...

Magazine sized risque cartoon books seem like they were pretty big in the sixties and seventies.I'm pretty sure Goodman published a few as well.

 

I don't know who published it , but the book of this type that I recall seeing on the stands as a kid was titled 'From Sex to Sexty".

[dgarthwaite-migration]

I collect the treasury sized issues of Sex to Sexty issues.

 

 

From the file name path on that sacn, I have it being published by SRI Publishing. Not sure if that's my abbreviation, or the one the publisher uses.
