Charlton Comics: The Movie
The ALL NEW 2016 Movie Trailer!
Welcome to PHASE 2 of the Charlton Movie crowdfunding campaign!
Our Phase 1 contributors helped us get these interviews, now Phase 2, your contributions will power the heavy lifting - the awesome team who will put this story together!
That story is the unique and fascinating slice of comic book history that's nearly been forgotten! Bob Layton didn't start by drawing Iron Man, and Denny O'Neil's first story sure didn't involve the caped crusader! Which Marvel legend started as a fanzine writer and actually threw his comic books into a bonfire at the height of the Comics Code???
Contribute, and help us tell the stories that have never been told... until NOW!
You see, the captivating origin story of Charlton and its tragic epilogue are unbelievable! We can't give you spoilers, but in the age of TMS and tabloids, Charlton fits right in. It's positively scandalous!
What We Need & What You Get
Alright, let's break it down real smooth...
- Your contributions push us into the post-production realm! That's where the real work begins. We'll start cutting apart the interviews and piecing them together to form the story. So while that sounds dry, the real fun of post production comes when we add in the animation and reenactments!
We've got a great team of production people and animators standing by - your contributions will put them into action!
But that's what we need, but let's talk about you! The Charlton artists, writers, and Charlton Neo publishing team want to see this movie completed as badly as you do. So, out of the love of Charlton, those great talents are teaming up with us!
- Our artist friends Bob Layton, Joe Staton, Frank McLaughlin, and Joe Sinnott have all agreed to provide art commissions!
- Then we also included DVDs and digital downloads for you movie buffs.
- There's the official Charlton Movie t-shirts and buttons.
- How would you like to go head to head with E-Man? Joe Staton and Nick Cuti can put YOU as a villain in an all new E-Man story - then Charlton Neo will publish it!
- But wait, there's more! Our friends over at Charlton Neo Media are providing copies of Charlton Arrow #5... which includes our interview with Joe Staton!
- Don't forget about tickets to the premiere and cocktail hour! You'll get to hang with some of Charlton's legends!

Your contribution to this project is vital. We're trying to tell a story about one of the most fascinating and unique pieces of comic book history that has nearly been forgotten. With your help, this film could boost the resurgence interest in Charlton Comics.
If you've heard us on some of our interviews, you know that we're doing this movie to give the creators the recognition they deserve! Charlton IS proof of the importance of creative freedom!

Risks & Challenges
Our biggest risk? We only have 30 days to reach our goal! That's why we need YOU!
The length of time it'll take to finish Charlton Comics: The Movie is completely up to you, however if we don't reach our goal, we'll still move forward on our own.
...which means that it could take a few more years, BUT we have the resolve and determination to complete the film project one way or another.
You aren't contributing to something that will be swept aside!
