Indexer Notes

Readers discuss Charlton Premiere #2 in letters of comment by Ted Seidler, Richard Struempler, Stephen Gillespie, Mike Harre, Mike Uslan, Richard Buckler and Joel Morse.

Dick Giordano closes with "Lotsa Luck and Good Afternoon", perhaps an early version of his more famous and customary sign-off "Thank You and Good Afternoon"? Between pages 9 and 10 of previous story.
