| This book should be stored in C+'s Charlton Comics section, as Charles Publishing Company was an early Charlton company, and this was a precursor (initial issue) to Charlton's Jack-In-The Box Comics series. And as stated in this book's accompanying notes, Al Fago's studios packaged all Charlton's funny animal and juvenile comics, including stories drawn by himself, Ellis "Holly" Chambers, and a couple other artists. |
