Archie's Joke Book Magazine #200

Reaching its 200th issue is no small feat, and Archie's Joke Book Magazine marks the milestone with a sun-soaked beach gag strip on the cover: Moose is rolling in the sand laughing hysterically while Archie, Betty, and Veronica look on, only for the punchline to land in the lower panel — "The joke you told me last week — I just got it!" Samm Schwartz's clean, expressive linework (with colors by Barry Grossman) captures the easygoing humor that made this series a staple of 1974 spinner racks. If you enjoy lighthearted fun with Riverdale's finest in a summer setting, this milestone issue delivers exactly that.
