DC-adopted Characther List
I suggest to add a section that lists Charlton characthers adopted by DC Comics, such as Blue Beetle or Captain Atom. --Lord Beelzebub 15:19, 31 Dec 2006 (Lima)
 * Why? There's not that many: Blue Beetle, Question, Captain Atom, Nightshade, Judomaster, Peacemaker, Sarge Steel, Son of Vulcan.  Despite the claims of some, DC never owned Thunderbolt.

I think we should make it and then put up info about how DC has killed them all off in one way or another (except Nightshade... for now) 208.38.114.14 21:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * That seems like it might be better placed in the DC article. The Fawcett Comics article, for instance, doesn't go into everything that's happened to the original Marvel Family at DC. --Tenebrae 21:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

First Charlton Comics
All. Have fixed the information on the first Charlton Comics. This is based on data from the list in Charlton Spotlight listing all the Charlton Comics in chronological order. --Emb021 16:37, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

- From the Yahoo group charlton-l and Frank Motler : "Zoo Funnies (1st series) was 1945."

From comics.org (http://www.comics.org/series/11613/): Zoo Funnies began with the Nov 1945 issue. Hope this helps! Darci (talk) 18:42, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Great work, Emb!
Plus a question: The Bulleye logo caption read "used from Oct/September 1973 on". Is that chronology right? I tried to figure what "Oct./September" meant. Is it supposed to be "September/October"? And if so, is it saying that some September titles had it and others didn't until October? If you have a chance to clear this up, that'd be great. Thanks again for your work! — Tenebrae 07:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that should be "September/October". If you look at sources like the GCD, some titles switched over to the Bullseye in September, some in October.  So that's the basic time for the switch over.  --Emb021 15:18, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Firefox
Is this the same "The Charlton Company" that Firefox mentions in its about dialogue? -- 194.247.44.135 11:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I don't understand the question. Who/what is Firefox?
 * Do not believe so. I think they may be refering to "The Charlton Company" at www.thecharltoncompany.com.  Charlton Comics & Charlton Publications are defunct, and the rights to their materials are owned by others.  So there is nothing to be licensed from them.

War Comics
Copied from User talk: Michael Dorosh Hi, Michael. I just wanted to give my reason for going with a shorter version of the War Comics section. The Charlton article doesn't list dates and issues #s for any other genre of its comics &mdash; indeed, that'd be a near-endless and unwieldy list, given the maybe couple hundred titles Charlton published &mdash; so to do so for just one genre isn't really justfiable from an encyclopedic standpoint.

I thought that leaving the section and the image gallery might be a workable compromise/solution, since the article could be expanded to include a paragraph each about its other genres without this becoming a book. :-) How does that sound? --Tenebrae 06:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I've never understood why a lack of information in some sections of an article justified the removal of information from other, better researched sections. Dates and number of issues seems directly related to me to the popularity and longevity of the titles. If that information is lacking for other genres, then I'd suggest other researchers aren't keeping up...? I can't agree that less information is better, and I would further say that the dates of publication and the number of issues are non-trivial. Michael Dorosh Talk  13:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Sometimes less information is better: See Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Information needs to be presented in a logical, hierarchal fashion in order to be useful. The information you keep putting back in, rejecting efforts at collaboration and compromise, is more suitable to a book's index than to an encyclopedic overview for a general audience.


 * There is no justication for listing titles and dates just of all the war titles and ignoring the other genres, except that you are a fan of the war titles. And to list the titles and dates of every one of the perhaps 200-300 titles Charlton published in its history, complete with images, would turn this into a checklist book. You might consider starting an article titled "Charlton Comics war comics", and leave it to the community to reach consensus on whether that topic has notability. For now, I'm returing the article to a more consise overview article, and I ask you work with others rather that insisting that other editors playing by the rules "aren't keeping up". -- Tenebrae 16:18, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Connection to Modern Comics?
I just picked up an old copy of Modern Comics 'Thunderbolt' #57 (1978, reprint of 1967), and them came here to learn more about it...Modern Comics redirects here, but there is no mention of them in the text. Anyone know the connection? -- Kickstart70 - T - C 17:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I am uncertain of the connection. Modern did reprints of certain Charlton comics, which were bagged and sold in department stories.  I do not know if Modern was just another division of Charlton (if so, why have a different name) or another company that just made a deal with Charlton.  --emb021

Missing Titles
Gunmaster and Space Western don't seem to be here. Two helpful links title list and Toonopedia have profiles on Gunmaster and Space Western. --68.81.70.65 (talk) 11:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Charlton Publications
How much longer did Charlton Publications survive? Or did it become defunct the same time as Charlton Comics? Danishjaveed (talk) 06:01, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
