I think I may have one of the largest collections of
Sick magazine in the United States, though I only have about 15 issues. I talked to someone from Canada once who I think has a complete collection. Of all the humor magazines, they are the hardest to come by. Once in a while I check
e-Bay and there hardly seem to be many there. Plenty of
Mad,
Cracked, and even
Crazy, though, and they're mostly from the 90s. The big question is: Would I want them? The biggest regret in life is that when ""they started renovating Times Square, they tore down a used bookstore that had tons of issues of old magazines, such as
Sick that they were letting go for 50 cents to a dollar and I didn't take advantage of it. My friend
Michael Kupperman did and even
wrote a book about it. Oh well.
This is issue #38 from August 1965.
The covers were regularly drawn by
Jack Davis and when he left, their art director
Joe Simon took over to draw like him.
The inside front covers were usually some kind of photo caption.
