Joker Comics #7

A cheerful slice of 1943 humor from Marvel's Joker Comics, with cover art by Ed Winiarski and George Klein depicting a gag-packed outdoor scene: a stylish red-haired woman in a blue jacket and red skirt frets aloud — "Oh, dear, I hope I haven't forgotten anything!" — while a beleaguered bellhop staggers under an impossible mountain of luggage and camping gear, and a wide-eyed boy peeks out from behind a fence bearing a "Jiffy Hiking & Camping Club" sign. The comedic contrast between her breezy obliviousness and the chaos surrounding her captures the lighthearted spirit that made wartime humor comics such a welcome escape. At just ten cents, this issue delivers the kind of warm, relatable comedy that defined the series.
