I've always wondered why they kept the Black Hood in Top Notch after it converted to Top Notch Laugh. Every other feature in the book is outright comedy, but the Black Hood story is about a murderer who uses human blood from his victims to animate killer puppets! (The text story is also crime-oriented) He had his own title by this time, so it wasn't like they were just burning off inventory. This was the last issue in which he appeared, however.

Note that Archie used superheroes as backup features in Laugh and Pep not just in the 1940s, but in the early 1960s as well.
