    Original Art for a Judomaster Story from Blockbuster/Comics Cavalcade Weekly #5 (Unpublished) by Frank McLaughlin
    Published by DC.
    • An interesting artifact from DC's acquisition of Charlton, Blockbuster (as it's titled on the page) or Comics Cavalcade Weekly was intended to be an anthology showcase for the Charlton heroes who editorial did not think could support their own books. Further, the series would have also included reprints of the Superman Sunday strips to attract readers. The first issue of the series would have sported a cover by Dave Gibbons, who of course went on to co-create Watchmen which used the Charlton heroes as the basis for its main cast. This page from what was intended to be Blockbuster #5's Judomaster story sees the criminal element that haunts the Geisha Gardens bar realize that maybe they should have joined up with Swordmaster when he asked the first time! Pencil and ink DC Comics art board with vellum overlay for the effects in the second to last panel. 11 1/4" x 16 1/2", B&W.
