They weren't consistent in their distribution.....and they always used a different type of paper stock than other publishers did, which made them seem even more exotic. The paper trimming was often uneven....and the ink was muddy.....but somehow, that made Charlton even more charming.<BR/><BR/>But Charlton was probably the non-Marvel publisher I bought most often, and Ditko was a big reason why.

I was a kid in the mid-70's and especially remember the Modern Comics reprints! I notice that DC has some archives editions, but maybe I try and track down some originals at the next convention I attend... don't know what sort of price range they're going for these days. Thanks for the great series!<BR/><BR/>Fr.

I mean, that's right up there with Hurricane's alter-ego of Harry Kane! Loved Ditko's work on Captain Atom. Ask any British fan of a certain age, and they'll have first seen this stuff in one of the Alan Class reprints over here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
