Cracked #257

John Severin's cover sets the scene perfectly: a sharp-dressed detective in a yellow trenchcoat and hat pins up a brick-wall "Most Wanted" board featuring four of 1990's biggest pop-culture offenders — Bart Simpson (#1 Brat), the New Kids on the Block (#1 Rock Gang), Mario Bros (#1), and the host of America's Funniest Home Videos (#1 TV Show). It's a wonderfully on-the-nose snapshot of the moment, and Cracked #257 squeezes every drop of fun out of the era's hottest targets. Inside, the legendary Don Martin — handling writing, art, inking, and lettering all on his own — contributes his signature brand of gloriously unhinged humor to round out the issue.
