Joker
Marvel · 1960–1967 · 30 issues
About the series
In the early 1960s, Marvel introduced a lighthearted, comedic take on the supervillain archetype with Joker (1960–1967), a 30-issue series that leaned into slapstick and parody rather than menace. Anchored by the clean, expressive artwork of Dan DeCarlo, Dick Ericson, and George Gladir, the book presented a mischievous prankster navigating a world of gag-filled schemes and absurd situations. While distinct from the darker, later iterations of the character, this run is a fascinating artifact of Silver Age Marvel, showcasing the publisher’s willingness to experiment with tone and genre within its superhero universe.
