I think the word "rare" is sufficient enough without adding super in front of it...

Would you go as far as saying it is super-duper rare?

That's a wonderful painted cover!  I've never seen that one.

I bought some Cracked mags. Wern't quite as good but had some nice art, especially John Severin. The early ones stole the cover boarder from the early MAD issues. There were a whole lot more MAD rip off mags but MAD is still the best.

  I would not use the word super at all...unless it was a Superman...

Since Kennedy won perhaps more of his copies sold while Nixon sat on newsstands later to be destroyed resulting in fewer Nixon copies?

Maybe...I don't know, but the back cover of the Nixon issue is the same as the front except it congratulates Kennedy on his win.    Typical Mad humor...

Sadly, not very much. Stopped publishing many years ago so most are not familiar with it.

Thanks I don,t remember any Sick , just Cracked an Mad?

Was digging in one of my boxes of undercopies and found some of these MAD imators. All from the late 1950's. Most are pretty obscure and hard to find. I am too lazy to dig out my nice copies but these will suffice to give you an idea of what other ones were published during this time.

Here are a few single digit Cracked Mags. Note the MAD border ripoff... The last one is #7 which features #1-6 on the cover.

This is HELP Magazine. Published by Harvey Kurtzman after he left MAD. Lots of Kurtzman and Bill Elder art as well as other EC artists. Several issues had Wonder Warthog stories by Gilbert Shelton of Freak Brothers fame.

I like this one a lot. Thimk  Short run but great art. As with many, it features Frankenstein as you will see. As many do, it parodies TV shows and American culture from the 1950's era. Of note... I also have this super rare Thimk mail away membership pin. Only one I know of.

Here are 4 more. Yes, Frankie again (by Bill Everett). Frantic is a John Severin cover who later became the main artist of Cracked.  All very short runs and tough to complete.
