Mark Arnold:
Real Heroes
Everyone’s a comedian, and now they all have their own comics! TwoMorrows takes Pete Von Sholly’s comic-world parodies to print with Comic Book Nerd, and then, Cracked returns as a brand-new magazine in the vein of National Lampoon.
Comic Book Nerd
Very, very funny if you’re familiar with the source material and remember the sad fate of Charlatan (Charlton) Comics:
“Comics so lousy they were thrown away by the kids themselves!”
Cracked
Does it work? Yeah. Especially since the now tired old Mad is having an identity crisis on who its target audience is. (Why do you think they created Mad Kids anyway?)
