*Charlton: There’s no doubt that Charlton produced a quirky mix of material. Rumour has it that rather than let their printing presses sit idly, they kept them rolling 24 hours a day, which may explain some of the material they produced. Here we have super-hero adventure with Son of Vulcan and Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt, cartoon comedy with Atomic Mouse and Li’l Genius, and science and supernatural fiction with Strange Suspense Stories and Shadows from Beyond (the last one puzzled me a bit, until I realised that, at #50, it was the continuation of Unusual Tales and the only issue to bear that title).
