Crazy, Man, Crazy (1955) comic books 1938-1955

Stories and art by Art Gates and H. Winters. Series continues from From Here to Insanity (1955) #12. Charlton gives its Mad imitator the third of its four titles, as it continues its hit-or-miss parodies of 1950s pop culture. A comparison of the humdrum life of a neighborhood beat cop with the romantic, action-packed life of a movie private eye. Classic literature adapted for the movies, such as a version of "Huckleberry Finn" starring Marlon Brando and Marilyn Monroe. The headline "McCarthy Silenced" turns out to refer to famous ventriloquist dummy Charlie McCarthy. Famous events of American history re-created by comic strip characters. Spoofs of 1950s advertising, including cigarettes, beer, and correspondence-course ads.
