A Surprising Comics Code Seal

 

The Comics Code Authority seal began appearing on comic book covers in 1955. You can spot it in the upper right hand corner of Charlton's 1957 Fightin' Navy #78 up above. But there's something unusual about that particular comic. The Comics Code seal also appears on page 1!

 

Maybe this was a standard practice of Charlton Comics in all of their comics in or around 1957? I don't have any other 1957 Charltons within ready reach so I'm just going to mutter "Hmmm, that's interesting" and leave it at that.
