I read Crazy quite a bit in the early years. (And by "early years," I mean way before this one.) "Casper the Dead Baby" makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it. It was like somebody took a twenty-second "Family Guy" gag and made a ten-page story about it. |

It was like somebody took a twenty-second "Family Guy" gag and made a ten-page story about it. I never read it much at the time. Mad, especially, and Cracked, to a lesser extent, were ubiquitous at yard sales in the late 70s. I don't think I ever saw an issue of Crazy at one. I have read a number of issues since then. "Kaspar the Dead Baby" was a great story. |

The one thing that really helped Cracked compete with MAD was all that great John Severin art! Even after all these years of seeing his work on super-hero comics and his MAD work, the first thing I think of for Severin is Cracked!

Yeah Cracked was always second fiddle to Mad but it was pretty decent.
