Cracked #280

Cracked goes full parody-glamour for its Special Swimsuit Issue, and Don Martin's cover sets the tone perfectly: a wildly grinning, big-haired woman in a pink swimsuit strikes a poolside pose while a skeletal hand reaches up from the water to grab her ankle — equal parts cheesecake and graveyard humor. Martin's unmistakable rubbery linework is all over this 1993 issue, which also promises send-ups of Home Alone 2 and Quantum Leap inside. If you ever wanted a swimsuit magazine filtered through a funhouse mirror, this is the one.
