Joker

Knockout Vol. 2 No. 1
12th June 1971

Here is the first appearance of Joker.

Joker
was a British comic strip. It first appeared in Knockout issue 1 (series 2) on 12 June 1971. Knockout merged with Whizzer and Chips in 1973. Joker stayed in Whizzer and Chips as a Whizz-kid until the end, when he continued in Buster until the close of the comic on 4 January 2000. On the "last page" of Buster, Joker reveals that he was actually Jeremy Beadle all along. The strip was written by Malcolm Morrison, and illustrated by Sid Burgon.

The Joker was Jeremy Beadle? He fooled a few people with that one, but remember he is a Joker after all. It looks like he played one final joke on the readers before disappearing with the rest of the Buster gang!
