Archie's Joke Book Magazine #157

A cursed diamond takes center stage on this fun February 1971 cover, where a dark-haired girl perches on a desk holding the glittering gem and asking her father if it really carries a curse — to which he gleefully replies that meeting Archie was proof enough! Surrounded by Egyptian mummies, tribal masks, and ancient artifacts, the gag lands perfectly, with a laughing Archie and a bewildered pal rounding out the scene in the background. Archie's Joke Book Magazine #157 delivers exactly the lighthearted, gag-a-page fun the series is known for, all for just fifteen cents.
