Smash Comics was an ongoing series published from Quality Comics. Its debut was in August 1939 and it continued for ten years. The comic anthology featured the superheroes Midnight, the Ray, the Jester, Bozo the Iron Man, Magno, the Invisible Hood, Lady Luck, Wildfire, and the Marksman, as well as numerous other adventure and humor features. Since being acquired by DC Comics, several of these "Earth-X" heroes became part of the Freedom Fighters and All-Star Squadron.
Smash Comics was not canceled; instead it was retitled Lady Luck (which is not included in this database because it was a licensed title not owned by Quality).
