Behind the Scenes
House Charlton may be a reference by George R. R. Martin to Charlton Comics, which Martin read while growing up.[9][10] Many of Charlton's characters, including the Blue Beetle and Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt, were acquired by DC Comics in 1983, which may mirror the once-powerful House Charlton becoming vassals of House Frey.
