The Boys from Derby: "The Anywhere Machine!" by Cuti, Wood, and Sutton

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! A rare Wally Wood job for Charlton! Though Woody only provided layouts for writer Nick Cuti's "The Anywhere Machine!", his hand is pretty evident. Yeah, Tom Sutton's art is radically different from Wood's, but Wally's staging, machinery, and aliens survived (and sometimes thrived) under Sutton's radically different finishes/inks. Makes for a very visually interesting piece (to say the least), don'tcha think? The following scans are from Space War #30 (March 1978), but the story first appeared in Ghostly Tales #107 (August 1973)...

Hey, just for fun, here's Wayne Howard's cover for this tale's first appearance in Ghostly Tales...wonder why Woody acolyte Howard didn't finish/ink "The Anywhere Machine!"? Hmmmmmm...

The Boys from Derby: "The Underground War" by Unknown

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! Sometimes The Boys from Derby are hard to determine. Lots worked under aliases, and a few were just guys who got lucky enough to sell a job or two. "A. Elias" or "A. Clias" (or even "alias"?) is one such B from D, with only two Charlton jobs identified and a signature that's hard to read, Still, he had a cool and unique style, so Ol' Groove thought you might get a kick out of "The Underground War" written by...hmm, here we go again. No writer's credits. Charlton, you'll always be a mystery to us! Anyway, Ol' Groove does know this tale was published in Space War #29 (February 1978)! Check it out!

(And don't forget to get down with all the new stuff coming out from Charlton-Neo! You'll thank Ol' Groove for reminding ya!)
