Crazy is a humor magazine, an imitator of the popular MAD Magazine. It was published by Marvel Comics from 1973 to 1983 for a total of 94 regular issues (not counting various specials).
Many of Marvel's usual superhero artists and writers contributed to the effort over the years. These included Marie Severin and Roy Thomas. Noted science fiction writer Harlan Ellison even contributed to the book.
Crazy not only did Mad Magazine like articles but experimented with photo funnies (real pictures with comic ballons added) similar to what was seen in Harvey Kurtzman's Help magazine of the 1960s.
Crazy originally featured a short, bug-eyed mascot with a large black hat and draped in a black cape, who was called the Nebbish.
Later in Crazy's run, he was replaced with the belligerent Obnoxio the Clown. Many of the features involved reoccuring character such as: "The Kinetic Kids" (where when you flipped the two pages they were on back and forth an illusion of motion was created), The Teen Hulk (a teenager who becomes a Hulk like character played for laughs) Retread Funnies (classic Marvel Comics stories presented with new dialogue) amongst others.
For other notable imitators, see MAD Magazine.
