Cracked #264

Don Martin's unmistakable rubbery figures take center stage on this 1991 issue of Cracked, with a wild-eyed, big-footed character doing an exaggerated dance move while smaller versions of similarly goofy characters bust moves all around him — a frenetic visual that fits perfectly with the magazine's promise to "crack" Vanilla Ice, "nail" MC Hammer, and "crown" King Ralph. Martin's cover art captures his signature loose-limbed chaos, all oversized shoes, clown-nosed faces, and gloriously absurd energy. Rounding things out is the tantalizing promise of a bonus "Shut-Up" Contest, making this a thoroughly entertaining snapshot of early-'90s pop-culture parody.
