Sick #117

This October 1977 Charlton humor magazine delivers exactly the irreverent comedy its tagline promises — "Psychiatrists Agree, Millions Read... Sick." Jack Sparling's cover art features a hapless armored knight astride a goofy, bug-eyed horse, brandishing a shield emblazoned with the Sick logo, while a cluster of circular portrait medallions floats overhead like balloons — caricatures tied to the promised TV satire of Bionic Woman, Six Million Dollar Man, and talk show personalities. With parody features on "Nyetwork," the Late Show, and TV's biggest stars of 1977, this is a lively snapshot of the era's pop culture filtered through Sick's cheerfully warped sensibility.
