Outer Space
http://charltoncomics.herobo.com/Outer_Space/Outer_Space.html
The logo for this page gave me some trouble. I had to go back to a huge scan of the original art for a cover. It still looked like crap in my graphical editor for the html. I think it looks pretty good in my browser.

This page has no gaps in the numbering now, but I've added a scan of a second #4. For now, I'm going to assume that the publisher(s) screwed up and released a second #4. I own the Winter issue #4. The Summer issue of #4 was a scan located online. Bruce Royal Publishing published the early issues. Avant Publishing published the later ones. The all have the "CDC" distributor logo, so it appears that Charlton's distribution company handled them all, So whether Charlton used an imprint or printed them for someone else has not been determined.

Still plugging away at title above and I spent quite awhile just downloading random scans to use at a future date. I'm reviewing my options on Cheyenne Kid. I still have more scans to post, but I might come up a little short to complete the gallery pages.
I'm of the belief that everyone quit caring about my gallery projects. I've listed a lot of UK scans for this title that aren't referenced at other sites properly.

Gallery pages 1 & 4 are complete for now. Page 3 will be complete soon. Page 2 will take a little longer.

Added 4 UK variants. The images I had were poor quality, so I touched up the America versions to show the UK differences.

pm | | Re: Charlton Checklist (1st Feb 16 at 11:24pm UTC) | | Posting a near complete gallery for: Best New Cartoons
 http://charltoncomics.herobo.com/Best_New_Cartoons/Best_New_Cartoons.htmlI introduced this series to collectors on the web and the GCD contributors filled in the gap and located issues/scans that I didn't have. The GCD scan for #8 was extensively water damaged. I wasn't going to use it as is. I made my best effort at removing the water damage and reconstructing it as best I could without spending hours. The lower left corner may not be entirely true to the actual comic, but I feel it's a more aesthetically pleasing image than what the GCD is using. Because the scan I'm using has so much reconstruction, I added a comment below the image. As it stands, no one online appears to have a scan for #9. For this reason, I went ahead and posted the gallery despite it being incomplete. At some point I may go back and do a better job with my title logos. I rushed on this and it has a red hue around the letter. I'm not pleased with it, but there are others I'm equally displeased with. Defiant1
Upgraded the scan for #8 and added a scan for #9. Unless there are some higher numbers, this is complete.

I'm not really wanting to collect the Magazine series, but I bought them because he'd made an effort to get them for me. The condition is worse than I want. One has a badly split spine and both have bad water damage. Both are from 1956.

You have someone bring something to a show for you, then the thing they bring is not worth buying because it's in crappy condition, but you feel obligated because the guy made the effort to bring them. | |

pm | | Re: Charlton Checklist (27th Feb 16 at 4:52pm UTC) | | I don't want to discourage him from making the effort to locate any stuff I'm collecting because most of it is very uncommon. He's never really had any copies of the magazine series from the 50's available, so I think he may have been a little excited at the prospect of having something new. I had mentioned that I wasn't collecting these, but there was no way for him to know what I was talking about without actually seeing them. The condition factor just made things worse. If there had actually been anything at the show that I wanted, I would've really regretted buying these. As it stands, these were the only things I bought. My problem with these is that typically they have more text and photographs. 50's pinup girls in these aren't even attractive to me. I like the cartoons and some of the cheesy jokes. I don't care about a puff piece article on a celebrity form the 50's.

An interesting bit of useless trivia... Charlton has no titles that start with the letter "X".

Crappy distorted and blurry photos are about the best I'm seeing on some unless it's poor quality GCD scans with screwed up color palettes.
The checklist is at Version 10.74.

It looks like he did a few covers and 25ยข is MUCH better than the $40+ that DTA Collectibles is pricing them.
I like Norem covers.

I'll take a scan of Timmy the Timid Ghost #26 if it's not too much trouble.
I think my sanity would be too far gone if I tried to collect Charlton magazine scans. I do have a few. A gallery of Hit Parader would be interesting.... 
Did you make any progress on your want list?

I'll get that scan to you as soon I as get a chance to do it.
I'm sure I picked up quite a bit off my want list, and I completely knocked off at least two titles as I picked up the last issues I needed of Alien Encounters (Eclipse) and Tank Girl: The Odyssey (DC). Will update the want list as I get everything processed.

Appreciated!
The scan is posted.
Just a reminder that I am saving the larger scans for future use.
The checklist is up to version 10.79
http://charltoncomics.herobo.com/Charlton_index.html
4 more tedious scans of Black Fury to go before I get a completed gallery.
