Archie's Joke Book Magazine #30

This September 1957 issue of Archie's Joke Book Magazine leads with a delightfully goofy cover gag built around astrology — Veronica consults an astrology book and tells Archie that, as a Gemini, he craves "romantic affection," which he enthusiastically demonstrates with a big "SMACK!" that sends poor Jughead reeling with stars around his head. It's the kind of lighthearted, perfectly timed comic setup that made this series such a staple of the newsstand, all wrapped up in that bright, cheerful Archie style for just a dime.
