An all-new definitive history of Connecticut’s notorious all-in-one comic book company! Charlton Comics was disparaged as a second-rate funny-book outfit.
TwoMorrows Charlton Companion by Jon B. COOKE with Michael Ambrose & Frank Motler is a treasure trove of unexpected surprises that I was not aware that I experienced till now. I did not know that I was privy to some of the history of Charlton Comics’ last days. The companion covers everything you need to know about the publisher that indirectly still knocks at the door with Peacemaker, Blue Beetle, The Question, Captain Atom, and indirectly The Watchmen. This is an amazing story of a publisher that does not get much love, I highly recommend this book. Charlton Comics’ story is worth a movie treatment. Some of the comic’s most celebrated talents at one time or another worked with Charlton Comics. The main characters ceased to be in 1985 with Charlton Comics but morphed into better stories with DC Comics. They never really went away.
