Hercules (Charlton)

    (Charlton, 1967-1968)
™ and ©1967 Charlton Publications, Inc.

This Charlton title features the mythological Greek god Hercules and the twelve tasks he was commanded to perform to enter Olympus.

Hercules was the son of Zeus and a mortal woman, much to the resentment of Zeus’ wife Hera. The art of the lead story was penciled by Sam Glanzman, better known for his work on war comics. A backup feature was Thane of Bagarth, a Prince Valiant/King Arthur-type story written by Steve Skeates and drawn by the up-and-coming Jim Aparo.
