With issue #26 (Nov. 1942), at the height of [[World War II]], the title dropped down to a bi-monthly schedule due to wartime paper shortages; with issue #33 (Spring 1944) it became quarterly, also reducing its page-count to 60. It was around this time that publisher Arnold dropped Eisner & Iger as a "packager" and began producing much of the material in-house.<ref name="Steranko" /> The syndicated newspaper strip reprints "[[Jane Arden (comics)|Jane Arden]]" and "Ned Brant" disappeared during this period, as well as such recurring features as "[[Black Condor]]", "Don Q", and "Snappy".
 
Cartoonist [[George Brenner]] became editor of ''Crack Comics'' with issue #31 (Oct. 1943) (Cronin having left the post in Feb. 1942), a few issues before Brenner's character [[Clock (comics)|The Clock]] stopped appearing in the book's pages.<ref name="Clock">Markstein, Don.
