Description

When I opened the massive catalog from Heritage's September auction, I of course admired the Wolverine #1 cover as well as so many way cool pieces of art the auction had to offer. It was only towards the end of the flip through that I actually almost dropped the catalog because of what I saw.
The cover art to Super Cracked #1 was going up for auction.
It reminded me of a draft, where you covet one player that maybe other teams don't want as much, but he's #1 on your board.
This cover art practically taught me to draw when I was 12 years old - I studied it and traced it over and over. It was by far my favorite issue of Cracked magazine and I collected Cracked for a long time.
I am grateful to now have it up on my wall, reminding me regularly of my childhood love for comics and cartooning.
A huge thanks to whoever parted with it. You never know when something really special is going to make it's way into your curating world.

Huge congrats, man, hitting on this super nostalgic and personally meaningful piece! Fun composition and some killer colors. Can't beat a piece that connects adulthood to kidhood like this :)

Wonderful painting by Wray! A great send up of all the heroes Marvel, DC, WB, and indie titles that came during that wild time period! I can see why it would hold so much meaning with what it represents.

Loved this issue of Cracked magazine when I bought it as a kid and my favorite part was always seeing Daffy Duck unconscious among the super-powered characters...

I remember reading this magazine. You are blessed with the intelligence and grit to win this one at auction. Well done lad.
