Here's something a little different for you! Word puzzles from Charlton! These ingenious little one-pagers acted not only as filler content, but as advertising for the separate Charlton publications, Find-A-Word and Seek-a-Word.

Hi Tony! Yup, it appears that Charlton published quite a few puzzle books and the two that these comic book filler pages were advertising were called "Find-A-Word" and "Seek-a-Word." I have never seen any copies though and I don't see any on Ebay currently. I am sure people had an easier time throwing out used puzzle books than comics!
