SICK #12, 1 of 5

I've run out of humor magazines. But I went to my storage space recently and found all these issues of CRACKED and SICK I forgot I had, so I thought I'd share them. Nobody knows who owns the copyrights now, if anyone does at all. Besides, how can I not post a magazine that boasts of a beatnik section?

This issue is from March 1962.





According to the Bails Project, Ernest Schroeder did mostly Harvey superhero comics and work for Parents' Magazine Press.

Sick #3, 4 of 4

SICK holds a special place in my heart as my first printed work. Issue #132 has a letter I wrote when I was nine complimenting on their parody “Invasion of the Booby Snatchers”. It was probably the only letter they got that month.

Next week: BANANAS

Sick #3, 3 of 4

Every MAD imitation had its Drucker clone, and theirs was Angelo Torres. Many comics artists couldn't get as much work in their field with an ever-shrinking market and were relegated to these humor magazines. He started out as a contemporary of Frazetta's doing the same type of work. He was good enough to come over to MAD where he's spent the rest of his career doing TV parodies with characters from the waist up. It's good, but not what he was doing before. He's probably making more money doing that, though.



The last few pages to come on Monday.
