Laugh Comics – Archie Comics – 1946–1987 – Volume 1 – Ongoing Series – #20–400

Quick Summary: This title was originally launched as Laugh Comics in 1946, taking over the numbering of Black Hood Comics starting with issue #20. For over 40 years, it served as one of Archie Publications' core monthly titles alongside Pep and Archie. While it utilized the standard Riverdale gag format, it was a primary showcase for the work of Samm Schwartz, Harry Lucey, and Dan DeCarlo. The series is particularly noted for its high-energy slapstick and was one of the first titles to fully lean into the "teen humor" genre that saved the company following the decline of Golden Age superheroes.
