CHARLTON SPOTLIGHT MAGAZINE (2020)

"This issue features a lively, lengthy conversation with George Wildman, Charlton Comics' last and greatest editor, with cartoonist Hy Eisman sitting in. George reminisces on his long tenure at Charlton, from his selection as Popeye artist to his term as Charlton's managing editor, from his early advertising career and his 1950s Charlton work to candid comments on the creators he worked with. We also his post-Charlton career in children's books to the specialty educational work he's doing today."

"This very special issue features the first full-length interview with the legendary Nicola Cuti in over a decade. The former Charlton Comics assistant editor and writer recalls working with editor George Wildman and writer Joe Gill and artists Wally Wood, Joe Staton, Steve Ditko, Tom Sutton, Wayne Howard, and many others, all liberally illustrated with rare and unpublished photos and art. Next up is a vintage Charlton Doomsday+1 story by Tom Sutton, lost for over three decades."
