The first issue of Hit Comics featured the debut of Red Bee and Neon the Unknown, among others. The comic book series had a series of other rotating cover features, including Hercules, Stormy Foster, and Lion Boy.
In December 1942 (issue #25), the entire line-up of features at Hit Comics changed, with a new additional character called Kid Eternity. The character proved to be popular enough that even his , Her Highness and Silk, were given their own strip in Hit Comics issues #29 through #57. When Quality Comics began expanding their post-war line of titles in the spring of 1946, Kid Eternity got his own self-titled comic book.
By the late 1940s, however, Quality Comics experienced the same post-war bust that most superhero comics were. In November 1949, Kid Eternity's self-titled magazine was discontinued (with issue #18) and his lead slot in Hit Comics was given over to Jeb Rivers, a riverboat captain (with issue #61).Jim Steranko. The Steranko History of Comics Volume 2 (Supergraphics, 1972). The anthology title would end in July 1950.
