Crazy Magazine #19

Marvel's humor magazine "dares to be dumb" in fine 1976 fashion with this straight-faced send-up of a certain giant ape blockbuster. Bob Larkin's cover painting depicts the towering, roaring "Kink Konk" perched atop a skyscraper pedestal — chains still dangling from his wrists — swatting at buzzing biplanes with a giant ruler while a tiny, well-dressed figure stands far below on the platform. The whole absurd spectacle promises Len Herman and Ernie Colón's parody inside, cheerfully reminding readers that "the little monkey that could" is ready to scale the heights of silliness.
