Anyway, my brother was an editor there. I met Mickey working as temporary help in a department store and brought him home and he liked it and all of us got along well.

UNSEEN GOLD LIST

After a short stint in the military during World War II as a radio operator, the writer returned to Brooklyn. It had to be painted and cleaned, so I helped them. I was going to go back to the Navy as a chief radio operator, but they said 'Don't do that; you're going to be a writer. Gill felt that the low prices for a guaranteed amount of work a week beat freelancing for an undetermined amount of pages at a higher price.

Ditko's departure from the relatively high page rates of The House of Ideas for the bottom-of-the-barrel Charlton rates is representative of the artist's firm philosophical convictions, something that was in its relative infancy when working at Charlton. Steve has ethics and stern beliefs, and he kept them. He wouldn't do bad work just because he was getting bad pay.

He tried to do just as well for Charlton as he was for Marvel. He is a fine guy, and a good artist. It was the funniest thing. By the fifth week of Christmas, everybody on Monday morning would be waiting to see it, flocking in.

He would put one page up in the small hallway that led to the ladies room, by the time the fourth or fifth page came, we all knew it was coming and we'd be hanging out waiting for Steve to come in. I don't remember any of the details, but I remember that it was very funny, very well drawn, in color, and that he had the whole office anticipating those pages. He was younger then and needed to exercise, so Steve and I used to spend a lot of time playing ping-pong. They had a table in the cafeteria, and we'd work up a sweat—that's how I learned to play, with Steve—and I had to defend myself when we started.

By the time we finished playing, we were fairly equal, I think, but he'd still beat me more often than not. In , Pat Masulli and Ditko teamed to produce perhaps the first Charlton home-grown super-hero, Captain Atom, and the artist also joined Joe Gill to create a memorable run of Konga. Another fondly recalled Charlton staffer was Bill Molno, staff artist. Frank McLaughlin remembers a character in the truest vein: "Bill Molno was as fast an artist as I was a writer.

If you wanted an army marching across the plain, he'd put them in tall grass so that just the rifle muzzles were showing," Gill said with a laugh. He was making more money than anybody because he was that much faster. He was a very talented watercolorist, but he was doing comics for a living. McLaughlin recalls an occurrence with Molno that happened outside of the Charlton offices. He never knew one word of German, but not only did it sound authentic, it was hilarious. The class members were made up of rich, upper-class women, usually middle-aged wives of surgeons, psychiatrists, stock brokers, etc.

I was an invited guest of Bill's to their first annual art show. It was to be the fanciest, most opulent social affair of the year.

The exhibit took place at the home of a prominent psychiatrist and his art student wife. Part of their estate was a gorgeous indoor Olympic-sized pool, well heated because it was January. Most men appeared in formal attire, escorting their wives dressed in fine, and very expensive, gowns. The artwork was hung around the sides of the pool on walls set back about ten or fifteen feet.

Special decorations were everywhere and the caterers were busy serving hors d'oeuvres and the like when Bill and I showed up decorated, as well as plastered. Five minutes later, I was engrossed in a conversation with the host who was telling me how much money he spent on his wife's new dress, purchased especially for this gala event.

Just at that moment, I happened to glance over his shoulder, just in time to see the aforementioned wife and dress sailing airborne into the pool, drink still in hand. Within moments, everyone including the caterers had either jumped, or been pushed into, the pool. With glass raised aloft, pinky finger extended, Bill very elegantly strode down the steps into the pool, tie afloat, and eyeglasses properly steamed. What a scene! The most elegant social event of the season had suddenly turned into a Marx Brothers movie!

I don't think anybody there had a better time in their life.

There were no more art shows or social invites for us, however. With the likes of Bill Molno and Steve Ditko in their office ranks, Charlton has often been referred to as having been a fun place to work by many former staffers, perhaps as a result of placing so many creative people under one roof. Pat [Masulli] was constantly trying to reel in some of these characters, but usually to no avail.

There was a large, empty lot next to the office part of the building where we would play softball. Pat would be hanging out the window [yelling] at everyone to get back to work. Steve Ditko and Billy Anderson would duel each other with bent coat hangers—a la Zorro—while card games and ping-pong matches became marathon events in the cafeteria. Visitors were told that these 'creative people' needed this break from work to relax.

The cards and ping-pong became quite out of hand, and many a deck of cards were torn to shreds and ping-pong paddles became lethal weapons. Joe Gill and John D'Agostino usually were the culprits. Due to the variety of publications being put together at Charlton, aside from comic books, the offices presented a variety of guests. I mentioned it to Joe, after the guy left.


  • Monstroso (Pocket Money Puffin).
  • Buster Crabbe 9 By Famous Publications.
  • The Charlton Empire.
  • It wasn't long after that we realized that it was the son of Adolph Eichmann we had been introduced to five minutes before. His son had somehow gotten into the country and was trying to sell dear old Dad's diary. Sam Goldman was an editor at the time and, fortunately for Eichmann, Sam was not at his desk. Eichmann had left before Sam showed up, lucky for Eichmann. According to Gill, Goldman was angry to the point of wanting to attack Eichmann: "I wrote something that told the story of Eichmann, and what a murderer he was, and it was on the front cover [of the magazine]," Gill said.

    There was no confrontation, but I don't know if he knew about the article, or that I did it. I think the president of the distribution company, a guy named Adams, brought him up.

    It was a prestige thing. Eichmann was up there as a guest, and one of the Jewish editors had to be restrained.

    In the mid-'60s, General Manager Burt Levey resigned the company and went into real estate, with Pat Masulli being promoted to sharing general manager duties for the publishing operations with Ed Konick, and Dick Giordano finally got the managing editor position he had been praying for. The Action Hero Line was born. Coming to Connecticut would have been too much for them, especially considering the amount of money they were making working for us.

    It was before the days of Fed Ex, and I would go down there with scripts, pick up artwork, and set up appointments. I had a room in the offices of Joe Shore who was an attorney who did some work for Charlton. I don't recall exactly what he did for the company but it was enough so that he kept two or three offices for visiting dignitaries from Charlton. It was on Fifth Avenue, a pretty expensive and selective part of town, even in those days, but his offices weren't the most glamorous around.

    I made an appointment and went up to see him, and came away with an assignment or two.
