I wouldn't be surprised in the least that Peacemaker could pop up with an appearance in some movie. I always thought the Peacemaker was a pretty cool vigilante type character with some potential. Not very prominent in the DC universe, but has had some story arcs and even weak ties to Suicide Squad (Amanda Waller). So a great book to own, especially in the movie speculation age.

I remember posting this in jest at the time, so pretty shocked this has come to be.  (I did pick up a Fightin 5 40 BTW).  Peacemaker now in Suicide Squad 2 and HBOMAX series.  Amazing what a little movie speculation can do to short term value of a book 😜

I enjoyed revisiting this thread today.  Some really amazing books!  I thought I’d post some pickups since this thread began.  I’ll exclude some that have already been posted, so I thin these are fresh to the thread…

And a few more…

Anyone ever try to collect all the Blue Bird shoes giveaways?  Charlton books (reprints) with a new (?) cover that were given away in a handful of shoe stores?  The cover art for most of these is cropped to fit in a store name across the top bar and are a bit underwhelming IMO.  The cover to Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds 18, however, is a really cool looking cover and better than the original.

If Dino's the wrong color it must be a Charlton

I was planning a thread about them at one point @CrocHntr, having attempted to document what exists over recent years.

Here's the Blue Bird version of 'Six-Gun Heroes' #7 which reuses the cover of Wyatt Earp #26. I've added a UK L Miller reprint too:

  

I like how the Blue Bird copy has the horse in a different position to accommodate the title, a redrawn Earp shadow and some rather badly redrawn gun barrels pointing down. 

Good fun. 

 

[CrocHntr]

Very cool.  Not sure I would have noticed the position of the horse.  Subtle change, but I’m sure it took some effort to do.  I’d love to learn more of your research if you decide to start a thread at some point.  Not sure you’ll find a ton of interest, but at least there’s two.  Haha!

All cook books, but I really do love the Haunted Love run.  Some very cool covers in that series!  This is definitely one of them 👍

That's one more than my Charlton threads and posts usually attract, Croc 

I'll tag you if I ever get around to it - keep that Charlton flag flying in the meantime.....

Looking at all these covers just reinforces what (mostly) undiscovered tresures a lot of Charltons are.

I've never worn a costume to comic convention in my life, but next one I go to I'm gonna cosplay the dude in the background.

Gray Morrow did B&W art for Charleton’s  Space:1999 magazines.

Big B Comics in Hamilton, Ontario has original paintings for several Charleston romance comics framed on its walls.
