The EMPIRE Strikes CRACKED

Here are a couple of Cracked magazine covers from 1980 featuring the great John Severin's interpretation of The Empire Strikes Back phenomenon. As I have said before, I always preferred Cracked to Mad when I was growing up, and Severin's art was the main reason.

  1. I totally had that issue! That takes me back. And yes, Cracked! was better than Mad.

  2. Severin's art owned. Nice to hear I am not the only fan of Cracked back in the day. Loved their Monster Party books they put out from time to time.

    (Not to diss Mad mind you.)
