Charlton Comics Throwback

Normally we like to release CC Throwback episodes on Thursdays. But it has been six months since our last episode so we couldn't wait!FKAjason and Vance first talk about "Peace Envoy" from Space Adventures #39. For the first time since his debut, Captain Atom is drawn by someone other than Steve Ditko! Then Jay covers Blondie #214. 1970s misogyny at its best!

It is Thursday. We have two Charlton comics in front of us. How about the twelfth episode of Charlton Comics Throwback? In this episode, Vance and Jay take a look at "Test-Pilot's Nightmare" by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko, which first appeared in Space Adventures #39 (April 1961). This is a fairly non-memorable adventure of Captain Atom. Next the boys turn their attention to Abbott & Costello #13 (February 1970). The creative team for that issue was Joe Gill, Anthony Ferme, Tony Tallarico, and Sal Gentile.This episode contains the results of our special contest/giveaway. Stick around for the feedback for details.

It’s the eleventh episode of Charlton Comics Throwback and our second special guest! This episode, Vance and Jay read and review the Captain Atom story “The Force Beyond” from Space Adventures #38 (1961) by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko. Then Herbert Fung joins us for “The Enigma” from Charlton Bullseye #1 (1981) by Benjamin Smith, Dan Reed, B. Pearson, Al Val, Wendy Fiore, and George Wildman!This episode contains details for a special contest/giveaway. Stick around for the feedback for details.

It's a throwback Thursday two days early! Celebrate Valentine's Day with Vance and Jay and their special guest Kathy Jones! No Captain Atom story this month - instead we review Secret Romance #6. Published in 1970 by Charlton Comics, this romance book credited no creative team, though the cover artist was most likely Charles Nicholas.

It's the official first episode of Charlton Comics Throwback! In this episode, Vance and Jay read and review the Captain Atom story "Backfire" from Space Adventures #38 (1961) by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko. Then we tackle "Yellowjacket" from Yellowjacket Comics #1 (1944) by persons unknown!Remember to use the hashtag #SNGPOD when commenting on social media!Follow us on Twitter! (@SNGPOD4779)

Vance’s Throwback Thursday returns with him and guest-host FKAjason reviewing “One Second of War” from Space Adventures #38 (Charlton Comics, 1961) by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko.

Throwback Thursday returns with Vance in the driver’s seat as he and FKAjason review “A Victory for Venus” from Space Adventures #37 (Charlton Comics, 1960) by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko.

In this Throwback Thursday episode of Silver and Gold, Vance is back with FKAjason to talk about “The Space Prowlers” from Space Adventures #37 (Charlton Comics, 1960) by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko.

In this Throwback Thursday episode of Silver and Gold, Vance is back with FKAjason to talk about “Captain Atom on Planet X” from Space Adventures #36(Charlton Comics, 1960) by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko.

This Throwback Thursday, Vance and Jay discuss “The Wreck of X-44” from Space Adventures #36 by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko. We also touch on DC Universe: Rebirth and the possibility that Captain Atom might be God.

It is Throwback Thursday again with FKAjason and Vance discussing “The Little Wanderer,” a story by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko that first appeared in Space Adventures #35 (1960, Charlton Comics). Captain Atom helps (sort of) his friend Gunner and his narcoleptic son. Cap flies around, blasts space birds, and generally confounds the readers with questions like, “Why?” or “How?” and “Did somebody say donuts?”

Throwback Thursday returns and this time out, FKAjason and Vance review the Space Adventures #34 Captain Atom story “The Second Man in Space” (written by Joe Gill with artwork by Steve Ditko). We discuss the laziness of “space vaccines” and the general cheesyness of silver age comics. Vance can barely stay awake for this one, so you know you’re in for a real treat!This was originally Silver and Gold episode 6.

Wait, haven’t we already introduced Captain Atom? Well, yes and no. Call this episode of SNGPOD our “throwback Thursday” episode. I have a special guest on and we talk about the origin of the “original” Silver Age Captain Atom from Space Adventures #33. The story (written by Joe Gill with art by the legendary Steve Ditko) is titled “Introducing Captain Atom,” and it, well, introduces Captain Atom.
