670 ComicVine webpage, viewed 4/21/2016|b( ... under founders
John Santangelo, Sr. & Edward Levy, the company was
originally called T.W.O. Charles Company, named for the
two sons of the co-founders, both of whom were named
Charles. The company renamed itself in 1945.)
678 Charlton Comics was a family run business out of Derby CT.
They produced a lot of magazines from the 40s through the
60s that printed the lyrics of pop tunes.Since they owned
their own printing press, they went into the comics
business to keep the presses running around the clock ...
Steve Ditko worked there a lot in the late 50s/early 60s
when he created Captain Atom. Later on, he returned there
after leaving Marvel, where he created The Question and
the "new" Blue Beetle. Of course, he turned out a number
of great sci-fi, horror and movie monster books there as
well. Waaay back in the 50s, he worked on a book called
"Tales of the Mysterious Traveller," based on a then
defunct radio show! He also worked on the Konga and Gorgo
books.|bOther notable artists there included Rocke
Masteroserio, who was a truly talented and relatively
unsung great in the business, as well as the team of
Montes and Bache, who did great war stories and "The
Fightin' Five," Nicholas and Alascia, Dick Giordano, who
did terrific covers for years, and eventually became
editor there, where he created an intriguingly terrific
but short lived line of experimental books ... Jim Aparo
started there, as did Sam Grainger. Also working there
were people like Pete Morisi ("P.A.M.") and the
incomparable Sam Glanzman, who did the highly collectible
"Jungle Tales of Tarzan" series, "Hercules" "The Iron
Corporal," "Devil's Brigade" and the ultimate masterpiece
of comic book story telling, "Thje Lonely War of Willy
Shulz." Much later on,Joe Staton created E-Man there,
which remained his property. Also towards the end were
Morisi's "Vengeance Squad," and an assortment of very
early John Byrne comics such as "Doomsday + 1" and
"Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch".|uhttp://comicbookdb.com/
