Mr. Tantrum

A Silver Age oddity with a name that practically announces itself, Mr. Tantrum stomped onto the scene in 1958 courtesy of Charlton Comics, brought to life by the prolific Joe Gill and artist Jon D'Agostino. His home turf is the Freddy series, where he shares the pages with the likes of Freddy, Peggy, Stuff, and Tiny — a lively cast that hints at the breezy, character-driven humor Charlton did so well in that era. With only four appearances cataloged, he's a genuine rarity, the kind of delightfully named background figure that makes digging through late-'50s Charlton comics such a rewarding treasure hunt for collectors who love the road less traveled.
