Kid Montana-Pete Morisi-1962

That time Golden Age hero monster, the Heap, guest starred unofficially in one of Charlton's cowboy stories!

Chuck Clayton-Stan Goldberg-1990

Once Chuck was established as a comic book collector, there were plenty of opportunities for in-jokes. Here we have Chuck and Ronnie at a con where we also meet Dan DeCarlo and Stan G as themselves!

The Legend of Iron-Man McGee-John Severin-1956

Nothing much better than a Johnny Severin cowboy story from the fifties...even if Stan G. seems to have overdone the green coloring. And an Iron Man prototype? In a way? Sorta?

Captain Atom's Secret-Frank McLaughlin-1966

A little known 2 page filler/educational piece/ad! And one of the few times Charlton's Captain Atom was NOT drawn by Steve Ditko. 

Pvt. Doberman-Bob Oksner-1960

I'm in a Bilko frame of mind after having earlier ordered the Shout Factory complete set of THE PHIL SILVERS SHOW at a really good price. DC published not one but TWO comic book series based on the now-classic sitcom, this one spotlighting popular Maurice Gosfield character, Private Doberman. The comics were actually quite like the series, this one also a parody of Elvis who was then in the Army himself!

Muscle Hedd-1956

That time Charlton sorta ripped off Basil Wolverton's Powerhouse Pepper.

Snagglepuss and Yogi Bear-1971

You may have heard about DC's reboot of Snagglepuss which debuted this past week. In it, we see him as a Tennessee Williams-type Southern playwright. Here, from 45 years ago, we see him as an Orson Welles type filmmaking genius!
