THE PEACEMAKER -- WILLING TO FIGHT FOR PEACE !!!

Charlton Comics exciting and innovative The Peacemaker was created by the super talented team of Joe Gill & Pat Boyette. Christopher Smith, a diplomat who loves peace, was willing to fight for it. As The Peacemaker, he employed an array of special non-lethal weapons and founded the Pax Institute. Most of his antagonists he faced were dictators and warlords.

Splash page from the Fightin' Five back up story in The Peacemaker #1!

The Peacemaker #1 has only been reprinted by Modern Comics, with one Fightin' Five story page missing; one page from original story not reprinted. Modern Comics were available in bagged 3-packs, sold exclusively to department stores. Although it does have a $0.35 cent cover price, it does not have a publishing date, just a 1978 copyright.

Fightin' 5 #41, one of my favorite Charlton Comics covers, can't beat a dinosaur!

Both The Peacemaker and The Fightin' Five back-up feature are continued from Fightin' 5 #41.

Some pics from the unpublished The Peacemaker #6!

 

Now we'll see it in color in The Charlton Arrow!

 

Until recently, we missed an unpublished 1967 epic, which would have been The Peacemaker #6, written by Joe Gill with Pat Boyette art. "The Golden Pharaoh," will now be serialized in a fantastic new Charlton publication, The Charlton Arrow. Look out for it in Charlton Arrow #2 - #4! They also contain new material in the great Charlton tradition.

Always love the house ads!

The absolute best story Pat Boyette ever did, "Children of Doom" from Charlton Premiere #2! Denny O'Neil  wrote it. I do have a previous post on this story, you don't want to miss it!
