Cracked #265

This 1991 issue of Cracked leads with a wonderfully silly cover by John Severin, depicting a smug, green-clad little elf perched on a log bridge and brandishing a staff, while a hapless, drenched figure — clearly meant to evoke Robin Hood — staggers through the stream below, already soaked and losing the duel badly. The headline promises parodies of the Ninja Turtles, Family Matters, and The Doors alongside the Robin Hood send-up, making this a packed comedy package straight from the early '90s. Severin's painterly cover art brings a surprisingly polished touch to the gleeful absurdity.
