Sick #120

This April 1978 issue of Sick from Charlton Publications packs a crowd-pleasing cover by Jack Sparling, bursting with caricatures of TV's biggest casts — from the Star Trek crew (Spock's pointed ears are unmistakable) to the characters of Three's Company, The Bunkers, Soap, Carter Country, and more, all crammed together in a wonderfully chaotic scramble against a bold red background. The headline "Look Who Is Doing the News!" sets the satirical tone perfectly, promising Sparling's gleefully exaggerated takes on late-'70s television's most familiar faces. If you had a favorite show in 1978, there's a good chance its characters are somewhere in this lively pile-up.
