Charlton Personnel

INTRODUCTION:
This is by no means a complete listing of all Charlton personnel, nor is it complete for all personnel that is listed. Due to the fact that most artists (let alone writers, editors, letterers &c.) were not given full credits until the 1970s, a lot of work in identifying creators is little more than educated guesswork.
I won't even go into the amount of people that worked at Charlton behind the scenes. They, in all probability, will remain nameless until the end of time.
Still, this list will hopefully help collectors and researchers to find some general direction in which to focus their efforts.
Created by and © Ramon Schenk 2004-2008. Additional data provided by Mike Ambrose, Steve Whitaker, Frank Motler, Daniel Best, Pierce Askegren, Ray Bottorff Jr. and others.

KEY
In this list, I have attempted to place the following: last name, first name (place and date of birth - place and date of death) profession. Following that, on the line below, are listed the main genres the person worked in for Charlton, as well as dates and other relevant information.
A WORD ON GENRES
To give an idea of the scope of a person's work for Charlton, genres are used. They are not etched in stone, and some may be argued for or against. For instance, I make a distinction between humor and animated, while some people might consider this to be one genre.
