Since all of this, sadly, "Charlton Spotlight" editor-publisher Michael Ambrose has passed away.

Every story I've ever seen or found was uniquely his, both in art and story.<br /><br />And, yes, I completely agree with you. Chambers must have been an influence on the underground, "alternative" comics of the '60's, Crumb, Rodriguez, Shelton, etc, - the link seems so clear!<br /><br />And rest assured: The Big Blog is all about kids' comics!

Another guy kinda working in this style was Red Holmdale who did backups in Super Duck. He did some gnarly looking drawings with half-baked plots that nevertheless have charm. Though I think some of his stuff, as well as Super Duck himself, would be a bit questionably lumped in under the banner of Kids Comics.バーンズ エリックhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03063106858922768919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-80886753824258482102023-07-05T10:54:44.275-04:002023-07-05T10:54:44.275-04:00Yes, that's a weird one.

It really reads like early Crumb or Rory Hayes... without the more explicitly graphic adult stuff. <br /><br />Don't be pushing too many boundaries here, though. The wholesome kids stuff is appreciated, too. It's always nice to see a post from you.
