Cracked #249

This November 1989 issue of Cracked throws open the doors on three simultaneously running unauthorized parodies — Batman (complete with a grinning Joker looming over the Caped Crusader), Ghostbusters (a hapless ghostbuster drenched head-to-toe in green slime), and Indiana Jones (whip in hand and looking characteristically unimpressed) — all rendered on the cover by the reliably sharp John Severin. Bonus material promises contributions from Don Martin, a Star Trek V send-up, Woodstock, and more Severin inside, making this a genuinely packed comedy package. At $1.49, it's a cheerful snapshot of late-'80s pop culture seen through Cracked's lovably irreverent lens.
