WHEELIE AND THE CHOPPER BUNCH #1 May 1975

Wheelie And The Chopper Bunch came late in the Hanna Barbera line of titles for Charlton, but was by no means an also-ran series to their "biggies" such as The Flintstones.
Indeed, if anything, the clever and quite funny scripts by,judging from the style, Nick Cuti and downright stellar art by Joe Staton and John Byrne (who handled the the art chores on the bulk of Wheelie's 7 issue run) made this one the standout H-B titles. Wheelie remains one of Charlton's funniest licensing efforts of the 70's.

This first issue, Staton handles all the comics stories, while Byrne gives us three illos for a two-page text story.

GHOST MANOR #3 February 1972

GHOST MANOR #3 February 1972

An all around great issue, art-wise. From both Ditko's cover and story, to Pete Morisi, and Joe Staton!
Here we have one of Staton's very first professional published pieces, and oddly, it's not inked by Staton. This early tale is inked by veteran Charles Nicholas (although credited on page as just "Nick").
Also, according to the GCD, the Ditko story is both penciled and inked by him, but to a trained eye the inks are clearly ,once again, by Nicholas.
