- Charlton began in 1933 with Hit Parader magazine, publishing song lyrics. Charlton Comics published comics from 1944 - 1987. The last of the magazines were published in the mid-1990s. For unknown reasons an error occurred on all the January 1961 indicias, where the year was printed as 1960. The affected issues are: Atomic Mouse (1953 series) #40, Billy the Kid (1957 series) #26, Black Fury (1955 series) #28, Brides in Love (1956 series) #22, Cheyenne Kid (1957 series) #26, Fightin' Army (1956 series) #39, Fightin' Marines (1955 series) #39, Fightin' Navy (1956 series) #96, First Kiss (1957 series) #18, Freddy (1958 series) #26, I Love You (1955 series) #32, Just Married (1958 series) #17, Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds (1956 series) #22, Outlaws of the West (1957 series) #29, Secrets of Young Brides (1957 series) #23, Sheriff of Tombstone (1958 series) #13, Strange Suspense Stories (1955 series) #51, Teen Confessions (1959 series) #9, Teen-Age Confidential Confessions (1960 series) #4, Teen-Age Love (1958 series) #18 and Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal (1956 series) #34.
