Jumpin' Joe Pasterneck

Bill Woggon introduced Jumpin' Joe Pasterneck to the world in 1956 through the pages of Katy Keene Fashion Book Magazine, planting this Archie Comics character firmly in the glamorous, fashion-forward universe that made Katy Keene a beloved Golden Age icon. Across a surprisingly long publishing footprint stretching into 1987, Joe pops up in the company of Katy herself alongside a cast of colorful recurring figures like Gloria Grandbilt and Randy Van Ronson, the kind of ensemble that gives the Katy Keene world its distinctive social sparkle. With appearances spread across Katy Keene Fashion Book Magazine, Archie Annual, and Katy Keene Annual, he's a recurring face in that cheerful Archie milieu — a supporting player worth tracking down for dedicated Katy Keene completists who love the full texture of this charming corner of comics history.
