Crazy was a very silly, short lived series that only lasted 7 issues before everyone realized no matter how good the art is it was still a far cry from Mad Magazine. None the less, today’s post is a highly enjoyable, non-sensical romp into the wacky world of humorous horror parody, and for Everett fans (and Frankenstein fans too of course) it’s a rare gem very worthy of re-discovery.

WOW, EVERETT WAS JUST AS AMAZING DOING FUNNY CHARACTERS AS THE MORE SERIOUS STUFF.......SOME OF IT IS PRETTY FUNNY TOO BUT MOSTLY THE HUMOR SEEMS KIND OF OUTDATED OR JUST CONFUSING AT TIMES. STILL A GREAT POST!
hee hee silly!
Yeah, the humor here is pretty eratic and random, but I really like the style of this artwork. Great!!
There were only a few guys like Harvey Kurtzman who could successfully do this rapid fire comedy stuff (including sight gags galore) in comics, and EC had the best and most consistant: http://www.harveykurtzman.com/
Well,it's not gonna replace Dick Briefer's work,but Bill Everett is ALWAYS interesting to see,and heck his serious work is also very humorous,like "Werewolf" from MENACE#3.
This isn'nt too bad,but not as good as any of Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder's classic takes in Mad or Humbug.
