Crazy Magazine

Crazy Magazine was an illustrated satire and humor magazine, and was published by Marvel Comics from 1973 to 1983 for a total of 94 regular issues (and two "Super Specials", Summer 1975, 1980). It was preceded by two standard-format comic books titled Crazy.

Many comic book artists and writers contributed to the effort in the early years. These included Stan Lee, Will Eisner, Vaughn Bodé, Frank Kelly Freas, Harvey Kurtzman, Mike Ploog, Basil Wolverton, Marie Severin, Mike Carlin, editor Marv Wolfman and executive editor Roy Thomas. Mainstream writers like Harlan Ellison and Art Buchwald also contributed. Lee Marrs supplied a few pictures. In addition to drawn art, Crazy experimented with fumetti.

History

Marvel (then known as Atlas) first published a Crazy comic book in 1953. It ran for seven issues, through mid-1954, and was focused on popular culture parodies and humor. The second comic title, as Crazy!, ran for three issues in 1973, and reprinted comics parodies from Marvel's late-1960s Not Brand Ecch. Later that year, Marvel repurposed the title for a black-and-white comics magazine. Marv Wolfman edited the first ten issues from 1973–1975 and the first "Super Special", and created the magazine's first mascot, Irving Nebbish, a short, bug-eyed man in a large black hat and draped in a black cape.

Crazy (The Boys song)

"Crazy" is the title of a number-one R&B single by The Boys. The hit song spent one week at number one on the US R&B chart and also reached number twenty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100.

Music video

At the beginning of the video, the oldest brother Khiry is accidentally kicked in the back of the head during a dance rehearsal and begins to have the "craziest dream". His dream is a series of music video spoofs which include in order: "Faith" by George Michael, "Every Little Step" by Bobby Brown, "Vogue" by Madonna, "Rhythm Nation" by Janet Jackson, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, and "Baby Don't Forget My Number" by Milli Vanilli. He then wakes up just as the nurse appears.
