My favorite Charlton era splash is actually his fight with the Squid, but I've already shown it on this blog. It was my first exposure to the Blue Beetle, actually in a Modern Comics reprint (in fact, the same flea market visit yielded both his first issue and his first appearance in Captain Atom). I found [reprints of] almost every issue (there weren't many), so you can well imagine I was surprised and happy to find Ted Kord in the DCU as of Who's Who and Crisis! But that's a much longer story... for tomorrow!
Ted! Oh Ted, I miss you so.
