Judomaster, Blue Beetle and The Question...... :cloud9:

 

And we can't forget perhaps Charlton's most recognizable super-hero, Captain Atom.

....I remember when I first realized that Ditko had created this BEFORE the Marvel Age...... for the longest time I had thought Captain Atom was a post Marvel thing. GOD BLESS...

The mid to late 50's sci-fi, fantasy, and horror books had some decent Ditko stories and the covers were often very nice. GOD BLESS...

Great looking cover. I need to find one of these for myself. Nice!

 

One of my favorites is Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds #14. One of the stories is even penciled by Matt Baker!

I think some of Ditko's best work was with Charlton.

 

Thing 12, 15

Lawbreakers Suspense Stories 19 (an absolute classic)

This Magazine is haunted 16 (excellent cover that is often overlooked)

Space Adventures 12

This is an interesting cover in that Ditko included the paint pallet and brushes in the background. Unless this is some horse track/gambling reference that I'm unaware of... (shrug)

Best reds I've ever seen on that cover. Plus it's a cover where he worked his name into the scene. :)
