Cracked #89
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Brainy Bunch," Cracked #89 (1970) delivers its signature satire with a twist, reimagining classic tales like Huckleberry Finn, Alice in Wonderland, and Frankenstein through the absurd lens of celebrity parodies—each retold with the wit and visual flair of John Severin, who both drew and inked the interiors and crafted the cover. A 35-cent comic from the golden age of satire, it’s a must for fans of offbeat humor and vintage comic brilliance.
In this delightfully absurd parody from Cracked #89, literary classics get a surreal makeover as modern personalities reimagine them: Charles Schulz puts his signature charm on *Huckleberry Finn*, Captain Kangaroo takes a crack at *Sherlock Holmes*, and Phyllis Diller brings her brand of chaotic energy to *Frankenstein*. With each tale twisted through the lens of a beloved 1970s personality, the result is a sharp, playful satire that turns the classics on their head—no spoilers, just pure, clever mischief.
