Archie's Madhouse was a comic book published by Archie comics from the late 1950s to the mid-1970s.
The first 18 issues featured the "Archie gang" in stories that were a bit more "off the wall" than the normal Archie series. Beginning with issue 19, the Archie gang was dropped, and the title began featuring monsters, space stories and other wacky short stories. In issue 22, Sabrina the Teenage Witch was introduced, with art by Archie mainstay Dan Decarlo. This issue has become one of the most sought after Archie issues of the Silver Age. Sabrina began making intermittent appearances through issue 74, and then transitioned over to other titles, such as Archie's TV Laugh-Out and her own Sabrina title. Shortly before Sabrina's departure, the title began a seies of name changes, morphing into Madhouse Ma-ad Jokes, Madhouse Ma-ad Freakout, Madhouse Glads, and finally just Madhouse. The Madhouse Glads run introduced yet another "gang" into the Archie universe, a group of teenage brothers who had formed their own band, akin to the Archies and Josie and the Pussycats. Much like the "gang" introduced in That Wilkin Boy, several years earlier, the "Madhouse Glads" gang never caught on with fans like the Josie gang did.
