*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: In the wake of Mad’s success, a plethora of imitators sprung up, with no fewer than four from Atlas alone – while editor Stan Lee commanded some of the finest artistic talents in comics, he certainly was shameless in his bandwagon-jumping in the 1950s! We have four of the seven issue run of Crazy, parodying a diverse range of classic stories, TV shows, movies, and other tropes in the cultural zeitgeist of 1953-1954, with artwork by a dazzling range of talents: Everett, Maneely, Hartley, Berg, Post, Heath, Brodsky, Sekowsky and Drucker all contributed to the series’ short run. As can be seen from the covers, there was a strong emphasis on horror spoof.
