Joker Comics
Marvel · 1942–1950 · 42 issues
About the series
From 1942 to 1950, Marvel’s Joker Comics ran for 42 issues as a lively, humor-driven anthology, far removed from any caped crusader. The series showcased a rotating cast of comic characters, with regulars like the fast-typing Tessie the Typist, the muscle-bound but dim Powerhouse Pepper, and the scheming J. Pennypincher. Anchored by frequent contributions from Stan Lee, Art Gates, and C. C. Beck, with art from Morris Weiss and Fred Bell, the book captured the playful, gag-a-minute spirit of Golden Age humor comics. It stands as a snapshot of Marvel’s pre-superhero era, when slapstick and workplace comedy ruled the newsstands.
