Smash Comics is the title of an American Golden Age comic book anthology series, published by Quality Comics for 85 issues between 1939 and 1949.[1] It became the series Lady Luck for #86-90 (Dec 1949–Aug 1950).[2]

Smash Comics had the distinction of being the company's first title with exclusively new material. Originally, it starred a variety of

Black X, and the robot Bozo the Iron Man
.

The title later came to include a number of syndicated comic strips that had previously been appearing in Feature Comics.[3] About halfway through Smash's run, reprints of the four-page crimefighter feature "Lady Luck" — originally published in the Sunday-newspaper insert colloquially called "The Spirit Section" — also began appearing. Eventually, the Smash Comics title changed names to Lady Luck for its final five issues, #86–90.

The title Smash Comics was used again in 1999 as a part of the

Justice Society Returns
".
