Cracked Magazine – The Wild, Hilarious Alternative to MAD!

For decades, Cracked Magazine was the irreverent, rebellious cousin to MAD, delivering gut-busting satire, outrageous humor, and pop culture parodies with its own brand of offbeat comedy. Launched in 1958 by Major Magazines, Cracked quickly became a fan-favorite humor magazine, packed with spoofs of movies, TV, politics, and everyday life, all accompanied by hilarious, exaggerated artwork from legendary cartoonists like John Severin, Bill Ward, and Don Orehek.

While often compared to MAD Magazine, Cracked developed its own unique identity, thanks to its mascot, Sylvester P. Smythe, and its wild, often absurd humor that thrived throughout the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. It was the go-to source for fans who loved over-the-top satire, celebrity send-ups, and zany editorial features. Now, you can get instant access to the complete digital archive, plus free tools and readers for CBR, CBZ, and PDF files, so you can enjoy Cracked Magazine anywhere, on any device. Get ready to laugh like it’s the golden age of parody!
