Charlton Spotlight magazine explores the history of the Charlton Comics Group! This issue pays tribute to the memory of the late, great Pete "P.A.M." Morisi, creator of
Peter Cannon-Thunderbolt and
Johnny Dynamite, and long-time Silver Age Charlton and Timely/Atlas comics artist/writer. Pete Morisi became a fan-favorite for his highly individual style on Charlton's ghost, western and adventure strips. Behind a rare hand-colored
Thunderbolt front cover drawing by Morisi, we focus on P.A.M.'s long legacy at Charlton with articles and art by Steve Skeates, Nicola Cuti, Bill Pearson, Jim Amash, Glen Johnson, Ron Frantz, and others - with plenty of rare, obscure, and unpublished art. In addition to never-before-published pages from Morisi's final
Thunderbolt story for DC, there's also a vintage 1976 interview, a classic Morisi story reprint, an exhaustive checklist of Morisi's Charlton work (with biographical and critical resources), and a lengthy gallery of his top Charlton covers! The back cover reproduces one of Morisi's classic
Johnny Dynamite covers from the early Comic Media series. Rounding out the issue are artist Tom Christopher's memoir of contributing to Charlton's last days; plus horror-fantasy artist Denis Tiani's personal memoir of collecting Charlton's infamous early '60s monster magazines,
Horror Monsters and
Mad Monsters. Plus the very special return of an old-time Charlton feature by its creator, Nick Cuti! Plus all of the usual extensive Charlton checklists, cover galleries, news, reviews, readers departments, and more!
