King-Sized Cracked

From 1967 to 1986, Major Publications packed twenty oversized issues of King-Sized Cracked with the signature satirical bite of its parent magazine. Anchored by the steady writing of Vic Martin and a rotating art team led by John Severin, Aron Laikin, and John Duillo, the series lampooned pop culture, politics, and comics themselves with a gleefully crude, energetic style. It stands as a hefty, era-spanning monument to the magazine-format humor comic, offering a denser dose of parody than its standard-sized counterparts.
