DC acquired the Charlton characters to use as characters adn for licensing possibilities.

What really made Charlton so awful was their spectacularly crappy printing process. They used the cheapest paper available (and so did most of the rest of the industry, but Charlton seemed worse) and usually printed too close to the edge of the original paper bundle so that when they trimmed the edges, many had pages where one edge looked like this: ^^^^^^^^.

If Charlton was so awful, why did DC acquire it in the 1980s?
And what does John Byrne have to say about his early work for CC?

I have some pretty fond memories of mid 70’s era Charlton stuff, mainly for covers done by Steve Ditko and Tom Sutton. But yeah, the interiors were usually pretty rancid.
