Cracked Collectors' Edition {Comic Books} Disclose
Note: Series title from cover. Known indicia have no apostrophe. Published by Globe Communications beginning with #62 (no issue number, September 1985). Formerly Cracked Shut-Ups (#1-2) and Cracked Goes to the Movies #3. Many of the issues don't have issue numbers. Some issues (at least #5-9, but not #11 onward, have "Dell" on the cover but this probably means Dell distributed the issues and should not be considered a brand emblem).

Super Cracked {Comic Books} Disclose
Note: Published Annually, then later Quarterly. "I wrote the two-volume book set for Cracked Magazine called If You're Cracked, You're Happy. Through my interviews with both creators and fans, I have concluded that this 27th issue of Super Cracked does not exist due to a numbering error. By the time the error was caught, the series was concluded with the 32nd issue and restarted by Globe Publishing with a new #1. The replacement series ran for 17 issues and is sometimes referred to as Cracked Super instead of Super Cracked to distinguished them apart." - Mark Arnold.
1968 - 1985 31
