Ghost Manor 74 can be seen in the latest post in the Canadian Newsstands thread in the copper age section

Thanks David. @dm226 brought that one to my attention by PM a while back along with Ghostly Tales #166. I was waiting for him to post them and claim the glory!

I'll update the numbers and charts at some point.

The above two bring us up to 57 of the expected 60 Charlton Canadian Price Variants:

If my assumptions are correct, only Ghost Manor #73 and #75, and Haunted #70 are outstanding.

Afternoon Charlies :)

Here's a little Charlton variant interlude while we await further Canadian sightings.

In July 1980, Charlton produced these eight titles:

I managed to get the 'full set' of these UPC variants in the end - here they be:

Some of them are surprisingly hard to find. 

It's something to do isn't it...

Here is one that’s missing from the list.

Thanks @bellrules, but I'm afraid that is the US version - all copies are priced at 75c for that book and no Canadian priced copies are known to exist.

Have a read of this earlier post which explains which books are Canadian, which are US, and the US price increase / dual pricing dates:

Any questions, let me know :)

Spookily, given the title, it's exactly two years to the day since I last posted in this thread. In all that time, I have not seen one instance of a 75c Haunted Library #70, the only outstanding Charlton CPV that theoretically should exist (if I've got my sums right):

cpv.thumb.PNG.334a46034f1c4331396d989decb2d91f.PNG

In one of my regular sweeps of the web, I today found this unhelpfully grainy image on a Chinese website:

cpv2.PNG.ced8101eb3cc3485e7185b3b6d81ba40.PNG

Could that be our missing 60th CPV hm

It certainly looks like it, doesn't it. If normal variant hunting practice applies, another copy should be along any minute now, so I think I'll wait for a more concrete image, if not a copy in hand, before I declare "job done"....

Here you go! And then there were none. Picked this guy up in the last year and didn’t realize it was the missing link.

That'll do! Thanks Bellrules. Job done :headbang:

Thanks again, Bellrules, for posting confirmation of our final Charlton CPV book - I've updated the Journal page and here is the final issue summary:

I did a write up on these books for Ben's Rare Comics blog the other month, if anyone's at a loose end for something exciting to read:

I say exciting of course.....
