Here’s a tough Charlton. Only five on the census.

Some of Charlton's finest production work follows 

A miscut Cynthia...

An inking error strewn Reptilicus (same on the back cover)...

A Romantic Story overprint....

A blank interior Margie...

A double cover Konga...

A miscut Six-Gun Heroes...

And an off register Submarine Attack.

An inking error that makes dude look like he peed his pants.

A recent acquisition. Looks nice too for 1957

It looks like a Ditko cover too. Very nice.

Awesome.  Kind of makes me want to go to hell.

Mostly romance yet I do pick up the odd Charlton, especially books in pretty good condition. I was surprised to see this thread.

I would like to find a better copy of this Blondie book in the wild.

A couple more in blue…

I've often toyed with the idea of picking up a Charlton hot rod/drag comic or two simply because they're ignored by the unwashed masses of comic collectors. But I'm a completist so that would open up too much of a can of worms for me.

Completely understand as it would be difficult and time consuming to complete them, let alone trying to do a run in a minimum grade.

I just love Charltons because of their uniqueness.

While Marvel and DC sent their stuff out to a third party printer and anything not up to par was pulped.

I just love the Charlton in house printing cavalier attitude where interior pages sometimes were only three quarters in length. If it has a cover with a price on it, then it goes out to market as it is money 🤑

Here's another early Charlton of mine:

But my top priority in Charltons right now is filling out my Captain Atom Space Adventures in a grade similar to the two I have: 

Talk about tough though!
