Vol 1: April 1942 – Fall 1946
Comedy Comics was an anthology published during the 1940’s, beginning with #9 (the first eight issues were published in the superhero title Daring Mystery Comics), by its sixth issue the comic began to feature Super Rabbit (who starred in several 1940’s Timely Comics). As World War II was going on at the time, he would of course occasionally defeat Nazis although he would also stop regular criminals. After holding onto the title for twenty issues (and four years), with #34, Margie became the feature and with #35 the series changed its name to reflect this, becoming Margie Comics.
Vol 2: May 1948 – January 1950
The second comic from Timely / Marvel to have the title Comedy Comics, the first took over the title Daring Mystery Comics in 1942 and featured funny animals, mainly one called Super Rabbit, this ended with issue 34.
In 1948 the title was brought back with issue 1 this time featuring Marvel’s new “working girls,” strips such as Tessie the Typist, Nellie the Nurse and Millie the Model.
For a time with the addision of this title Millie the Model would be outdoing Captain Ameria and the Human Torch who were by then down to only 1 title each while Millie was staring in 3 or 4 with more to come in the 50’s.
