Cracked Mazagine August 1976 No. 134 The Fonze Takes Over This Issue Giant Poster of "The Fonze" Himself

This is Cracked Magazine No. 134, the August 1976 issue from Major Magazines, Inc., with a cover signed by John Severin where The Fonze takes over the whole issue.

The cover is yellowed and toned with light edge wear, and the free bonus Fonze poster is still attached at the staples, with no rips or tears, as the photos show.

The issue spoofs Happy Days, starting with Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About The Fonze and Fonzie's Dictionary, and the contents page tells you to detach the cover at the staples to hang the poster. Other features include The Art of Ventriloquism, Satan's Campaign to Promote Hell, One Afternoon in Japan, The Academy Awards Show, and A Cracked Look at Motocross.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
