Crazy Magazine #3

Marvel's humor magazine takes aim at the silver screen and prime-time TV alike in this March 1974 issue, with a cover by Kelly Freas that perfectly sets the satirical tone. A grizzled, brooding Western drifter stands front and center beneath a hanging saloon sign reading "Crazy Puts On Plain High Drifter," while a mischievous gremlin-like creature perches on the beam above, paint can in hand — clearly the one responsible for the whole setup. Inside, Mort Drucker brings his sharp pen to "The Walnuts" alongside promised parodies of Soiled Green, Last Tangle in Paris, and In Search of Ancient Auto-Nuts, making this a wonderfully chaotic package of 1974 pop-culture ribbing.
