Collection: Archie's Joke Book – Archie Comics – 1953–1982 – Volume 1 – Ongoing Series – #1–288
Quick Summary: Spanning nearly 30 years, this title focused on a punchier, gag-heavy format rather than full-length narratives. While there are 288 numbered slots, only 277 total issues were published because the series used non-standard numbering for its first 14 releases (starting with an unnumbered issue followed by a sequence that eventually stabilized at #15). The content is famous for its "Guess the Gag" games, one-page comic strip-style jokes, and puns featuring the core Riverdale cast. A notable collector's milestone occurs in issue #48, which features the earliest professional interior work by legendary artist Neal Adams.
