Foreign correspondent...LOL! Great books Steve. Love that Flash Gordon! It also blows my mind how new comics can go for so much more than older, rarer comics.
Hello my friend. Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I do not understand it either. I just don't get it. Years from know who cares. But something like, lets say, Space Adventures #12 will always be a book that collectors care after all these years. These flash in the pan comics of today, not so much. New comics are like modern pop music. Its cotton candy. There is nothing there. As always thank you for stopping by and commenting. You support is greatly appreciated. Take care and stay well.

I love seeing that "still 10 cents" flag/logo on those Charlton books- especially on Gorgo and Strange Suspense Stories covers. Space Adventures always remains my favorite. And the cool signature of 'Nicholas Alascia' artfully appearing on Charlton books. I just picked up Charlton Bullseye #4 introducing the Vanguards. Great show of artwork! That Joe Palooka cover was smashing too! Thank you for showing!
Me too. I also like seeing that very small 10 cents on those wonderful old Charltons. I love Space Adventures so much as well. My earliest issue in #2 in and 8.0. Nice beautiful black cover too. Charlton Bullseye is an usual title. It was made to show off new talent for the company but at this point, Charlton was seeing is close unfortunate demise. I am glad that you enjoy Charlton too. Fun books to read and collect. Thank you for the kind words. As always thank you for stopping by and commenting. You support is greatly appreciated. Take care and stay well. Best/Steve
So much to comment on!... I will try to keep it brief. Smiling Jack is a great character that some know but most don't. In the vein of Wash Tubbs, Captain Easy etc. Joe Saloons was a comic strip character up until the 70's I think but forgotten today. I want a copy of that Dell Nevada book! Adding it to my list. ME Western are the best! Nuff said. I agree about Charlton artists. Lots of really good stuff out there if you look. Charlton is one of the best secrets out there that are in plain sight. Great comics. Thanks for showing.
Thank you so much for the comment and the kind words. I really enjoyed what you said and good to know that we are the same sheet of music 😉. Now if everyone thought like us, the comic industry would be much better off 😉. Wash Tubbs and Captain Easy are wonderful and delightful strips. Joe Palooka is a blast too. Thank you for coming by and sharing you thoughts. You support as always is appreciated. Take care and stay well. Best/Steve

When I was a kid, the only Charlton Comics I saw on the newsstand were their licensed books. When I look though GCD or Mike's Amazing World, I see all these Charlton covers that I would have caught my eye and I would have bought if had the money. It's sad that Wayne Howard is largely forgotten. It's too bad that there has never been soe form of Midnight Tales collection.
That's too bad. And this in part was a problem Charlton had was very spotty distribution of their comic books. It was unfortunate. I think they would have lasted long if the distribution was on par with, lets say Marvel or DC. Even like Gold Key. It is sad about the late great Wayne Howard. What a talent. His Charlton out put was just amazing. The covers on Midnight Tales are to die for. I know he had done work for Marvel but, I forget what it was. Do you recall? Anything for DC, I wonder? I am hoping Yoe Books will do something of a Midnight Tales collection in the future. As always thank you for stopping by and commenting. You support is greatly appreciated. Take care and stay well.

I took your advice and talked amongst ourselves ..Problem is , I was alone at the time 😂 Great books .The Action Comics #121 had me drooling . Pretty much the rest of them did as well .
LOL. Sometimes that is the best company. Thank you for the kind words, Eric.As always thank you for stopping by and commenting. You support is greatly appreciated. Take care and stay well. Best/Steve
Lots of good stuff Steve! Thanks for sharing! I have always shed books that I’m not actively collecting in order to get the books I want. Nothing wrong with that. I find myself preying on those who speculate on the newest marvel movie or TV show. You may be surprised to see some of those lousy dollar bin books going for a nice piece of change.
I have come to the realization as I have said, and I want my collection to have books that I am fascinated with 100 percent. Why wait till I have saved the money. I never use credit, when I can sell some BA keys and get so several PCH Charltons for the price of a single BA "KEY." Its liberating. I want my collection to be a living thing so to speak. Always morphing into something better to me. I fell like I am babbling here. I hope I made sense. As always thank you for stopping by and commenting. You support is greatly appreciated.

Hello, Steve! Welcome back. We got a real treat with this video. Almost an hour worth of you showing off and talking about your recent acquisitions. Great stuff. I see that you have a couple of other new videos out as well, so I'll be viewing those a tad later.
Hey Steve, good to see a video from you. I echo your mentioning of BlackBoxedSilverandBronze, a channel that I recently ran across. Loved those Durango Kid books! And also that Rocky and Fiendish Friends book! On my wantlist!
Hey Spinner Rack, good to hear from you and thank you for the kind words. Yes, Joe form BlackBoxedSilver and Bronze is a good egg. He know is stuff and shows wonderful funny books. He should have thousands of subscribers. Enjoy the hunt. You will not be disappointed with those books. As always thank you for stopping by and commenting. You support is greatly appreciated.

Nice books.That Flash issue is in awesome condition.I have a lot of Charlton comics in my collection,but will not buy any of the "Modern"pressings(just a thing for me i guess).Collect any of the Romance genre?
Hi Keith, thank you for the kind words. Its, funny, I pass on the Modern Reprint Charltons as well. I find the Modern logo very off putting. I like the Charlton Romance books. Those are the only Romance books that I will buy. What Charltons to you like to collect, Keith? As always thank you for stopping by and commenting. You support is greatly appreciated. Take care and stay well. Best/Steve
I go back and forth on whether there are still great artists in comics. It's definitely more work to find them and there's a much wider variety of aesthetic tastes pulling at all the different artists of this time.
SO true. Look who we had writing and drawing comics growing up. Pure talent, period. Today, not so much. Everything is a cover buy for the lemmings. The cover "artist" that are popular, I do not believe can draw an engaging sequential story. There are a few, Stephen Mooney and Andrea Sarantonio. I know you have a vast knowledge. Who do you like currently at can tell a good story? As always thank you for stopping by and commenting. You support is greatly appreciated. Take care and stay well. Best/Steve
@@charlton6674 IF you wanted to dip your toes into current comics I’d recommend the new Arrowsmith series from Kurt Busiek and company, the new color Usagi Yojimbo series (can start almost on any issue) and the Dark Knights of Steel mini-seies (you’d have start on the beginning on this one).
I am just playing Freecell as I am watching mate. I never heard of the Coconut Grove fire. I hope the cowboy resurgence comes again mate but I think it's had it's day and Hollywood etc are looking for new things, you never know though eh? Best of luck sorting through your collection working out what to sell to get what you really wish to own.
Yes, that would be great. Love the Westerns. Yes, I'm really going to focus on what I really want. I have sold two big key books. Got so good money that I'm putting to books that take my breath away. Not just to have a book just to have it. It does nothing for me. Its refreshing.
Love seeing those big little books Steve. Wonderful windows into the past.
Lots of nice art on that back wall.......Love the Durago Kid and the Kit Carson......and of course the Dell Four Color Nevada.
