''Crack Comics'' started off as a monthly anthology of 68 pages, often with as many as 15 features. At first edited by [[Ed Cronin]], much of its material was originally "packaged" by the [[Eisner and Iger Studio]].<ref name="Steranko" /> "[[Clock (comics)|The Clock]]", as well as such newspaper strip reprints as "[[Rube Goldberg]]'s Side Show", "[[Jane Arden (comics)|Jane Arden]]", and "Ned Brant", moved over from Quality's ''[[Feature Comics]]''.
