Friday Fun CRACKED and CRAZY BiCentennial Features

MAD is Easily the Most Famous of the b/w Comic Parody Magazines...

...but there were others who were no slouches when it came to satire and parody, starting with this never-reprinted feature from Marvel's Crazy #19 (1976)...

Written by Michael Pellowski and illustrated by Tony Tallarico.

Now, let's look at the other major MAD competitor, with this three-pager written and illustrated by Don Orehek from Major Magazines' Cracked #137 (1976)...

Finally, another Cracked feature, this one from #136 (1976) by writer/artist Su Gumen which demonstrates how "media bias" works!

Hope you liked these 49 year-old flashbacks to the Bicentennial!

And I pray America's still around for her 250th Birthday next year!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder PANIC! "Mars Man Chase"

Did screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan or director Steven Spielberg read this in 1955?

Both of them would've been the right age to have read this never-reprinted short (obviously inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom tales) from by writer/artist Don Orehek from Panic Publications' Panic #2 (1958), which might have inspired this legendary bit of high adventure cinema history...

Did it?

We'll never know!
