Cracked #314

Cracked takes on the Star Trek: First Contact phenomenon in this 1997 issue, with cover art by John Severin depicting a caricatured Captain Picard and Data facing down a relentless horde of goofy-looking Borg drones, complete with a dramatic energy blast lighting up the melee. The headline promises a parody titled "Star Drek: First Contract," with Lou Silverstone writing and Walter J. Brogan on art duties inside. Rounding out the issue are send-ups of Ransom, Ultimate Fighting, and Daylight — a solid lineup of mid-'90s pop-culture targets for fans of sharp satirical humor.
