Events of Watchmen[]
Joey was a reader of Hustler magazine and a frequent customer at Bernard's Newsstand.
Joey had been pressured by her younger, more "politically correct" partner Aline into supporting GWAR. Aline did not support her lifestyle, such as reading Hustler.
Joey is first seen when picking up Laurie Juspeczyk from the Rockefeller Military Research Center and drops her outside the Treasure Island comic book store, close to Dan Dreiberg's apartment.[1]
The following Saturday she bought the new issue of Hustler from Bernard and also forced him (by threatening) to post an advertisement of the GWAR-backed Pink Triangle concert.[2]
She had a relationship with Aline until they broke up the last days of October. She asked from Bernard an issue of the New York Gazette to look for apartments. Derf and his girlfriend were also there. Then the issue arrived, having a headline about the riot in Sing Sing.[3]
Joey eventually met Aline in the street outside the Promethean. Aline scolded her for not respecting gay professionals working openly. That moment Milo's brother, Ralph, asked her where he's at.
Aline attempted to give her a book about relationships to help her understand what happened to them, and Joey complained that she just wanted to go to bed with her one time. They started fighting Malcolm Long tried to separate them. They were also seen by Steven Fine who attempted to intervene. Minutes later, they were all killed by the "Alien" Monster that was violently teleported to Manhattan on November 2, 1985, as part of Adrian Veidt's conspiracy to prevent nuclear annihilation and achieve permanent world peace.[4]
