Crack Comics was an anthology series first released in 1940. It had a similar run to National Comics, even though the latter became more and more famous over time since it featured Uncle Sam as a main character and the US comic-book fans couldn’t get enough of it. This series featured several stories per issue, with characters such as Wizard Zells, Ned Grant and Black Condor appearing at the center of the stories. The comic ran for almost nine years, finally being canceled in September 1949 after 62 issues were released. Some characters made appearances in other stories a few years later, but the comic was never re-published.
