Crazy Magazine #2

Marvel's humor magazine roars into its second issue with a painted cover by Frank Kelly Freas that sets the satirical tone perfectly — two tuxedo-clad secret agents brandishing pistols stand stoically above a sprawling cluster of glamorous women, one of whom cheekily aims a tiny toy gun of her own. The cover promises parody gold inside, taking aim at both James Bond and McCloud (with the cheerful disclaimer "and Crazy loses, as usual"), plus contributions spotlighting Art Buchwald, Harvey Kurtzman, and the Crazy Bullpen. For fans of 1974's irreverent humor magazine scene, this is a wonderfully absurd package wrapped in some genuinely striking painted cover art.
