The Grooviest Covers of All Time: Joe Staton at Charlton
Plant your peepers on this pile of pencil and pen pulchritude,
Groove-ophiles! Joe Staton made Young Groove plunk down more quarters
for Charlton than any other artist, and here are a few reasons why...
(And yeah, my MOM bought the copy of For Lovers Only, not Young Groove. Sheesh!)
Love Staton's Charlton covers, especially the painted ones. That Scary Tales cover is a classic. However, you could have just as easily posted all ten of the original E-man covers - they are all brilliant.
Special thanks to Mike's Amazing World of Comics and Grand Comics Database for being such fantastic resources for covers, dates, creator info, etc. Thou art treasures true!

As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!

ReplyDeleteStaton's a king.
ReplyDeleteMr. Staton is turning out a GREAT Dick Tracy comic strip. I've never seen any of his work that I didn't like.
ReplyDeleteI always just think of Joe Staton as the guy who did the Plastic Man stories I read when I was a little kid.
