Cracked was an American humor magazine.
 Founded in 1958, "Cracked" proved to be the most durable of the many publications to be launched in the wake of "Mad" magazine.
Wind-up doll jokes (or simply doll jokes) is a series of jokes in which an imagined wind-up doll of a well known person (a show business or sports celebrity or a politician) acts in a way supposedly peculiar to this person.
 An example is given in the biography of Miles Davis by John Szwed.
 Miles had a habit to walk to the back of the band after finishing his solo, which was called "turning his back on the audience" by press.
 George Crater of the "Down Beat" magazine cracked the following joke: ""Question:" What does a Miles Davis doll do if you wind it up?
 - "Answer:" It turns its back on you!"
John Powers Severin (December 26, 1921 – February 12, 2012) was an American comics artist noted for his distinctive work with EC Comics, primarily on the war comics "Two-Fisted Tales" and "Frontline Combat"; for Marvel Comics, especially its war and Western comics; and for his 45-year stint with the satiric magazine "Cracked".
 He was one of the founding cartoonists of "Mad" in 1952.
The Mighty Marvel Western was an American comic book series published by Marvel Comics.
 A Western anthology that ran 46 issues, it consisted of reprint stories of the Marvel Old West heroes the Rawhide Kid, Kid Colt, the Two-Gun Kid, and Matt Slade, featuring much art by Jack Kirby, Jack Keller, and others.
 New covers, on all but three issues, were by Herb Trimpe, John Severin and Gil Kane, among others.
Larry Ivie (1936–2014) was an American comics artist, writer, and collector who was active in comics fandom in the middle part of the 20th century, described by comics historian Bill Schelly as "the closest thing to an authority on comics that was available in the 1950's."
 He provided painted covers and other editorial material for early issues of "Castle of Frankenstein" magazine, then self-published the seven issues of his own newsstand magazine "Monsters and Heroes", for which he drew comic stories of his own superhero Altron Boy, in the mid-to-late '60s; had his art published in the magazines "Galaxy Science Fiction" and "If", co-created the comic book "T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents", and wrote several stories for Marvel Comics and the horror magazines "Creepy" and "Eerie".
 Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, to biologist Wilton Ivie and his wife Aleen, he moved to New York City in the mid 1950s to attend the School of Visual Arts, and with a large personal library of comic books and correspondence via fanzines became a prominent part of New York comics fan culture.
 He also made amateur films of superheros, influencing the amateur films of Donald F. Glut and appearing in two of his films.
 Ivie died of lung cancer in January 2014, aged 77.
Blazing Combat was an American war-comics magazine published by Warren Publishing from 1965 to 1966.
 Written and edited by Archie Goodwin, with artwork by such industry notables as Gene Colan, Frank Frazetta, John Severin, Alex Toth, and Wally Wood, it featured war stories in both contemporary and period settings, unified by a humanistic theme of the personal costs of war, rather than by traditional men's adventure motifs.
Marie Severin ( ; born August 21, 1929) is an American comics artist and colorist best known for her work for Marvel Comics and the 1950s' EC Comics.
Silvio Buscema ( ; born January 26, 1936) is an American comics artist, primarily for Marvel Comics, where he enjoyed a ten-year run as artist of "The Incredible Hulk".
 He is the younger brother of comics artist John Buscema.
Two-Fisted Tales was a bimonthly, anthology war comic published by EC Comics in the early 1950s.
 The title originated in 1950 when Harvey Kurtzman suggested to William Gaines that they publish an adventure comic.
 Kurtzman became the editor of "Two-Fisted Tales", and with the advent of the Korean War, he soon narrowed the focus to war stories.
 The title was a companion comic to "Frontline Combat", and stories Kurtzman wrote for both books often displayed an anti-war attitude.
 It returned to adventure-themed stories in issues #36 through #39, co-edited by John Severin and Colin Dawkins, with a cover-title change to "The New Two-Fisted Tales".
Gunsmoke Western was an American comic book series published initially by Atlas Comics, the 1950s forerunner of Marvel Comics, and then into the 1960s by Marvel.
 A Western anthology that ran 46 issues, it featured early stories of the Marvel Old West heroes Kid Colt and the Two-Gun Kid, and work by such artists as Jack Kirby, John Severin, Joe Maneely, Doug Wildey, and many others.
