Crazy Magazine #35

Marvel's humor magazine "The Magazine That Dares to Be Dumb" goes all-in on holiday absurdity with this 1978 "Santa Strikes Again!" issue, its cover by Bob Larkin decking the halls with Christmas ornaments bearing the caricatured faces of pop-culture favorites — including Darth Vader, Wonder Woman, and what appear to be John Travolta and the Osmonds — all nestled in a festive pine tree complete with candy canes and a stocking. It's a cheerfully chaotic snapshot of late-'70s celebrity culture filtered through Crazy's signature irreverence. Inside, writer Paul Kupperberg and artist/inker Kent Gamble bring their own comedic energy with "MUS*H," promising the kind of sharp parody that made this series a worthy companion to the humor-mag genre.
