Cracked Collectors' Edition #109

In "The Special on Aisle 9," writer Tom J. Bacas and artist Éric Cartier deliver a quietly absurd tale of spiritual seeking gone hilariously awry, where a man’s quest for longevity takes a comically abrupt turn in the high mountains. With sharp, expressive art by Cartier and a cover by legendary cartoonist John Severin, this 1997 Cracked Collectors' Edition entry captures the magazine’s signature blend of satire and surrealism in a single, perfectly pitched gag.
