Spotlight #4 Contents Pete Morisi
became a fan favorite for his highly individual style on Charlton's ghost,
western and adventure strips. Behind a rare hand-colored T-BOLT front
cover drawing by Morisi, we focus on P.A.M.'s long legacy at Charlton
with articles by Steve Skeates, Bill Pearson, Mark Burbey,
Glen Johnson, Ron Frantz and others--along with plenty of
rare, obscure and unpublished art. Rounding out
the issue are Marvel/DC artist Tom Christopher's memoir of contributing
to Charlton's last days, with rare and unpublished DR.GRAVES
and HAUNTED covers, plus horror-fantasy artist Denis Tiani's
personal memoir of collecting Charlton's infamous early '60s monster magazines,
HORROR MONSTERS and MAD MONSTERS. And we have the very
special surprise return of an old-time Charlton feature by its creator,
Nick Cuti! With the usual extensive Charlton checklists
and cover galleries, news, reviews, readers departments and more. Charlton Spotlight No.4 is 8.5" x 11", 76 pages, full-color covers, b&w interiors, cover price $7.95. |
