CHARLTON SPOTLIGHT MAGAZINE #2

Offered in Previews for the first time! Charlton Spotlight #2 features an eclectic mix of Charlton Comics features. The front cover is a montage of photos and artwork spotlighting the issue's main features, with the back cover reproducing the 1956 cover to Nature Boy #3 by the late John Buscema. Inside you'll find an interview with AC Comics Editor-Publisher Bill Black, focusing on his early-1980s Charlton art and independent work with the Charlton action-heroes prior to DC's ownership; an in-depth account of Ron Frantz's mid-1980s visit to the Charlton plant, visiting folks like Steve Ditko, Joe Gill, and Frank McLaughlin along the way; and additional new Pat Boyette tribute material, including a memoir of Boyette's final comics work by Crater Kid creator Marty Baumann. With more rare art and checklist additions, and a page of never-before-published Peacemaker art, this issue also boasts a classic reprint of a complete Joe Shuster Charlton tale from a 1954 Strange Suspense Stories, and Ron Fortier's personal account of his and artist Gary Kato's creation of one of Charlton's last superheroes, Mr. Jigsaw. To make things sweeter, there's also the first installment of a complete Charlton Comics year-by-year checklist (provided by Dan Stevenson), heavily illustrated with obscure covers.
