Sick #134

Charlton's long-running humor magazine served up a Fall 1980 treat with this "Sick Special," and the cover by Jack Sparling sets the comedic tone immediately — a conga line of pop-culture parody robots and sci-fi figures, including C-3PO and Darth Vader stand-ins, a small knight labeled "Sick," and an R2-D2-style droid, all dancing under the banner "Dance of the Tin Heads." Inside, the laughs keep coming with promised spoofs including "The Marz Chronicles," "Re-MASH," "Murk & Mundy," and "W-K-R-A-P," targeting some of the biggest TV and film properties of the era. A genuinely fun time capsule of 1980 pop culture filtered through Sick's irreverent comedic lens.
