Good ol' Jack Davis. I like the darts in Indy's hat and the flying tooth!:D Would be nice to see the whole picture to read what they're saying. Thanks for posting, Col. Detritch.:hat:

Bought Absolutely Mad (50 years on 1 DVD-Rom) and can view the trilogy in color, but can only print or take screenshots. I'm not sure if it's in color here.

I remember the Cracked magazine Raiders/Temple parodies had some great art that actually mirrored the look of the cast without treading caricature territory. In fact,stupid puns aside,I actually used to view the magazine, (collector's edition #65 Movie Satires,1986,if you want to check it out) as a comic book companion to the movie,even drawing some of the panels minus the silly stuff. I'd be greatly indebted to anyone who has this and can post a few panels,as I lost mine many years ago.

Ask and you shall receive..thanks, JuniorJones. Admittedly I'm not on here often...so I was surprised to see so many magazine articles posted that I've wanted to read for awhile. Great thread!

What is parody, and what is homage? I've been pondering what to include on the Literature page. The obvious entries:

Mad in the 1980's
Mad in the 2000's
Cracked
Crazy

But then we drift into references and self-promotion: Ren and Stimpy, Muppets, Looney Tunes, etc. So what belongs? (Believe it or not, Cherry Poptart's "Oklahoma Smith and the Lost Temple of The Doomed Raiders" meets the preliminary qualifications... :eek: )

Parody? I imagine to take someone's work for either comic effect or ridicule...

Homage? To do it with respect...

and finally Reference?...to connect to something else...

Ugh! ...the 1970s porn-stache sitting under Tom Selleck's nose....ugh!! :sick:

Harrison Ford owns Indy!! Even with his "Fugitive" beard from the "Blues" episode from the Young Indy Chronicles.

:whip: (y)

Wow. Just... wow. I knew I didn't imagine it! This page is still burned into my brain 30 years later. It's perhaps solely responsible for making me an Indy fan. At 8 I tried my hand at a "Freighters of the Lost Shark" parody (made it as far as the Raven scene, hopefully I'll dig up a copy someday) and realized I needed the videotape.

And by R.L. Stine and Sam Viviano! Who later did Mad's Last Crusade cover. Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever track down all the parodies. After Mad's circulation reached 2 million in 1974, there were so many. Not sure if this is Dynamite (1974-1992) or Bananas (1975-1984), they each worked for both. Is it the original coloring?

It's been in the archive all the time, something I spotted the other day made it suddenly click as to where it was and I knew what I was looking for...Since you mentioned it been racking my brain as I remember the reveal at the end but surprised no-one else stepped forward.

I guess another find for the Raven.

It's the original color. I wil PM your memories. 5 pages of unmarked bliss.
