CRAZY #68:Target Earth

Here's excerpts from an issue of Crazy from 1980.
Parody of American Gigolo
As I showed in earlier posts about Crazy, they would often re-dialogue old Marvel Comics, like this story in Tales To Astonish #47 from September 1963 by Steve Ditko.
To compare, here is the original story.
This was their parody of The Dukes of Hazzard
The back cover of many comics had ads for plastic army men, this was their parody of it drawn by Paul Kirchner

SUPER CRACKED #31, 3 of 3

And now the last of the superhero parody-themed issue of Super Cracked #31, which I've been posting the past couple Wednesdays. The articles are from the 60s through 80s, but were compiled in Summer 1986.

These next few articles were drawn by John Severin.  photo 6-12-1_zpsae0254e7.jpg  photo 6-12-2_zpscb56d0dc.jpg  photo 6-12-3_zpsf5c3b182.jpg  photo 6-12-6_zpsa7e0d3ad.jpg  photo 6-12-7_zps12a4e150.jpg  photo 6-12-8_zpsab39371e.jpg There was some new framing material they used for this issue, some of which used material from previous issues.  photo 6-12-9_zpseaea0cdf.jpg  photo 6-12-10_zpsd776379e.jpg For a while Steve Ditko was a contributor for a few issues.  photo 6-12-11_zpsd17ab2b6.jpg  photo 6-12-12_zps4e49b567.jpg
