Crazy Magazine #18

Marvel's irreverent humor magazine takes gleeful aim at mid-1970s TV obsession, spoofing The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman with cover art by Bob Larkin that captures a brown-suited super-agent and a teal-clad bionic heroine striding purposefully forward — while she cradles what the cover boldly announces as "The Bionic Baby," a mechanical-looking infant with a decidedly robotic face. The gag doesn't stop there: a tiny chrome puppy in the corner teases "The Bionic Puppy" coming soon, escalating the parody to wonderfully absurd heights. Crazy — "The Magazine That Dares to Be Dumb" — is in peak form here, delivering sharp pop-culture satire that perfectly captures the bionic craze of 1976.
