Charlton Premiere Presents Trio - The Spookman!




The Spookman by Pat Boyette was apparently originally to be called "Sandman", but alas that name was taken. His presence brings a little heft to a comic which had real diversity. I'd have loved to see some more Spookman stories but I can't imagine anyone but Boyette drawing them. (Some relatively recent efforts to revive the hero have proved to me that Boyette is a hard act to follow.)









Now that's a hoot! And a face only a mother could love. We wrap all this up tomorrow with The Shape.

  1. It took me a while to get into Boyettes art but this is some of his very best. Charlton really did produce some excellent characters such a pity they never took hold

    1. They allowed the creators to get on with it. Boyette was certainly different from the pack.
