The comic-book <a href="/wiki/Line_(comics)" title="Line (comics)">line</a> was a division of <b>Charlton Publications</b>, which published magazines (most notably song-lyric magazines), puzzle books, and briefly, books, under the imprints <b>Monarch</b> and <b>Gold Star</b>.

The company was known for its low-budget practices, often using unpublished material acquired from defunct companies and paying comics creators among the lowest rates in the industry. Charlton was also the last of the American comics publishers still operating to raise its cover prices from 10 to 12 cents in 1962. </p><p>It was unique among comic-book companies in that it controlled all areas of publishing – from editorial to printing to distribution – rather than working with outside printers and distributors, as did most other publishers.
