Pete Morisi, Frank McLaughlin, Grass Green, as well as the mighty Ditko. In later years talents like John Byrne, Joe Staton, Mike Zeck, and Mike Vosburg broke in at the little Derby publisher.

The modern world dubs it interning and pays nothing, while at least Charlton paid a little bit. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-65014813095470039832017-02-27T11:32:55.463-05:002017-02-27T11:32:55.463-05:00Yeah those Charlton comics were a guilty pleasure ...Yeah those Charlton comics were a guilty pleasure at times.
