Cracked #73
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Bonnie and Clyde!", John Severin’s sharp, satirical art brings to life a moment of absurd tension as Bazman, halfway into his heroic transformation, hears a cry for help—only to have it vanish before he can fully suit up. The story captures a classic Cracked blend of irony and suspense, all rendered in Severin’s distinctive, expressive style, with the cover by the same hand echoing the comic’s signature blend of humor and unease.
In "The Day Bazman Almost Went Bats!", the hero-in-waiting Bazman hears a cry for help, fumbles through the ritual of suit-up, only to have the distress call vanish mid-undress—leaving him back at his paper, still half-dressed and wondering if he missed something. A perfectly absurd, deadpan satire of superhero tropes, this two-page gem captures the moment just before the hero’s impulse becomes action.
