Unusual Tales - Charmed, I'm Sure


"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.


"Charmed, I'm Sure" is a 5-page story from Charlton's UNUSUAL TALES #11 [1958], about an idealistic young man named John Cable who admires Abe Lincoln but can't get his own political career going until he gets an odd good luck charm.  Decent little story, Ditko always does the "despondent" look needed for the first half nicely, especially the first panel of page 2.


But before the story, some links:
