Giant Cracked #46, part 3

Here's the third part of Giant Cracked, a collection of “classic” articles about the history of the magazine from October of 1986...

This is what was said of this by the editors in the front of the magazine:

”The very first appearance of SAGEBRUSH, the wild western strip created by JOHN SEVERIN from #78, August 1969. When America landed on the moon in July 1969, everyone had moon madness. From #81, November 1969” Lots of to-do in the 1960's about fashion designer Rudi Gernreich. ”HUDD & DINI first appeared in CRACKED #76. They were created by VIC MARTIN and included here is an early appearance from #82, January 1970. “HAWK looks like the touchy subject of comic book heroes and their avoidance of the Vietnam issue of the 70's. From #105, November 1972.”

There already was a feature like that by Al Jaffee in Mad and a series by Steve Ditko for DC Comics. The ink splatter is from my copy. You should be able to read it.
