Cracked #253

Four pop-culture juggernauts collide on John Severin's lively cover for this 1990 issue of Cracked — caricatures of Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and the Bill & Ted duo are crammed together in a crackling, lightning-charged scene, with one of them clutching a copy of Cracked itself for a fun meta-twist. Inside, the magazine takes aim at Alien Nation and Black Rain alongside the time-traveling shenanigans, and Don Martin fans will find their favorite cartoonist represented as well. At $1.49, this is a snapshot of humor magazine culture firing on all cylinders in 1990.
