FRENZY #6, 1 of 4

FRENZY was another one of those black and white juvenile humor magazines. They did six issues in the late fifties. The late fifties saw the debut of a lot of these. I can't tell if there were more in the fifties or more in the seventies.

This Martian Ernie Kovacs person looks like he was probably the magazine's mascot.


The publisher here is Adrian Lopez who later published HARPOON. The contributors didn't get credited in the masthead. I can't say whether or not it was by choice.

THIS MAGAZINE IS CRAZY, part 1 of 4

Here's another imitation of MAD called CRAZY. Actually, the official title was THIS MAGAZINE IS CRAZY. This was the last format the magazine went through. In the late fifties it seems nobody knew what format MAD was going to take but knew it was a hit and had to cash in on its success.
