Charlton Comics · Crime and Justice #10 · 1952 · 10¢
Grade: VG- 3.5
Cover artist and interior credits unconfirmed — Charlton's Golden Age titles were routinely published without credited creators.
Mr. and Mrs. Chase anchor this issue — a husband-and-wife crime-fighting pairing that Charlton used as a recurring feature in the Crime and Justice run. The dynamic gave the series something most competing crime anthologies lacked: a consistent duo with an ongoing relationship, rather than a revolving cast of anonymous investigators and detectives. Specific story titles, page counts, and plot details for this issue are not confirmed in available reference sources.
Interior creator credits for this issue are unverified. Charlton's early-1950s crime titles were produced quickly and cheaply, with minimal documentation of writer and artist assignments. No confirmed credits are available for issue #10.
The LNC publisher code on the cover is a documented identifier tied to Charlton's pre-consolidation publishing operation out of Derby, Connecticut — a detail that helps pin this copy's production context within the early Charlton infrastructure. Crime and Justice ran 26 issues total (1951–1955), placing #10 squarely in the heart of the run, published during the peak years of the Golden Age crime genre before the Comics Code reshaped the category in 1954.
Condition VG- 3.5 — A classic reader. Some handling wear and stress, but the colors still pop and the structure is solid..
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it. If anything ever looks off, reach on out at robopictocomics@gmail.com.
