Cracked #272

Cracked #272 (July 1992) serves up the magazine's beloved brand of movie parody with a cover by John Severin that takes aim at Steven Spielberg's Hook — the Cracked mascot peers mischievously through a torn treasure map while a gleaming pirate hook and a golden orb dominate the foreground, all beneath the cheeky headline "We Pan Hook." Inside, the prolific Don Martin — handling writing, art, inking, and lettering all on his own — contributes his signature rubber-limbed comedy, alongside promised send-ups of Star Trek VI and more.
