A Crazy Christmas

From October, 1973 to April, 1983, Marvel was Crazy!


That is, they made a humor magazine, similar to Mad and Cracked, that featured light humor and spoofs....


...such as these Christmas covers!

Crazy #16 (March, 1976)...

...features the Nebbish, tying up Santa Claus with his Christmas list, in this cover layout by Marie Severin and art by Nick Cardy.

Crazy #59 (February, 1980)....

...has an angry Santa, and well he should be angry, as no artist name has been able to be found on the internet!


Have a ho-ho-ho holiday, and Merry Christmas!

Obnoxio The Clown

What's more appropriate on April Fool's Day than a clown?


How about Obnoxio the Clown killing the X-Men?


Yes, this was a real comic in the 1980s at the height of the X-Men comic craze.

The comic, Obnoxio The Clown (April, 1983) was written and drawn by Alan Kupperberg, with the nasty, cigar-smoking clown giving the X-Men trouble, all the while facing off against Eye Scream (a villain that turns into ice cream.  No, really....).

Obnoxio was a mascot and feature in Marvel's Crazy Magazine, which parodied movies and comics of the time, at least until the magazine ended in April, 1983 with it's 94th issue. 

Playboy Crazy

With Playboy giving up nudes, people thought they were crazy...

...they'd be just like any other magazine.


So, here's a cover by Nick Cardy from Marvel's old humor magazine, Crazy to symbolize that!


Cover from Crazy #10, April, 1975...

....and the bunny ears will never be the same.
