Jackpot Comics was a comic series released in early 1941 by MLJ (another name for the publishing company behind Archie Comics). It featured some indie superheroes such as Mr. Justice, Black Hood and others.
The series had a short run before it was rebranded to Jolly Jingles #10 in 1943. Some of the characters made later appearances in other comics released by Archie and the rights to some of them were actually purchased by other comic houses to keep releasing their adventures.
