Krazy exploded onto the comics scene in October 1976, IPC’s answer to a British kids’ version of Mad Magazine. It stood out sharply from the publisher’s usual fare, brimming with anarchic humour, silly features, and throwaway gags tucked between the regular strips. Readers were even invited to send in photos of siblings, friends, or celebrities they thought deserved a custard pie in the face—and Krazy gleefully delivered. Perhaps the most unforgettable gimmick was the back-cover “disguise.” One issue let you roll up the comic to masquerade as a newspaper; another offered mock book spines so you could line them up on your shelf and look impressively intellectual to unsuspecting parents.
“It’s a Krazy World” showcased snapshots of the bizarre, the brilliant, and the downright hilarious moments captured on camera. Meanwhile, "A Krazy Look at TV" delivered a cheeky, behind‑the‑scenes send‑up of a different popular show each week. The comic itself brimmed with offbeat surprises—packed with quirky games, playful cut‑outs, and a spirit of sheer unpredictability.
THOSE KRAZY COVERS
More often than not, The covers of Krazy broke with the conventions of the time. Instead of spotlighting the comic’s own characters, they leaned into groan‑worthy puns or surreal gags—often showing people caught in absurd situations reading their comic. 
THE KRAZY LINE-UP
THE KRAZY GANG
Under the guidance of editor‑in‑chief Ed, the Krazy Gang assembled a curious line‑up of characters. Brainy and Sporty lived up to their names, Liz was glued to her television, Blue squawked away as the resident parrot, and Freaky—an outlandish flying saucer creature bristling with arms, oversized teeth, and a stack of eyes—added the surreal touch. Yet the real star was Cheeky, the prankster of the crew. He proved so popular that later issues granted him his own strip, Ello It’s Cheeky, and eventually the ‘K’ on his jersey morphed into a ‘C’ as he took centre stage in a comic of his very own. Their arch enemy was Pongo Snodgrass, who likewise earned a page to himself. The entire gang sprang from the imagination and pen of Ian Knox.
PONGO SNODGRASS
Pongo was a grubby, foul‑smelling character, usually found lurking in dustbins among fish bones and assorted rubbish. Nursing a grudge over being barred from the Krazy Gang (for obvious reasons), he repeatedly hatched schemes to exact his revenge—none of which ever succeeded. Despite his failings, Pongo struck a chord with readers and eventually earned his own feature page, fittingly titled PongalongaPongo
Steve Austin, The Six Million Dollar Man - if you were alive in the seventies you'd know of him. Meet his Krazy comic counterpart, Steve Ford created by the great Robert Nixon. With super strength, super speed and just about super everything else, the 12 1/2p ½Buytonic Boy used his powers to fight crime and injustice in Krazy Town. As Krazy merged with other comics, the 12 1/p price tag was dropped from the title, eventually with him being known only as "Super Steve".
THE BEST OF THE REST
Here are the other notable strips from the comic, included Birdman and Chicken - crime fighting duo, Handy Andy - the shadow creations he makes with his hand come to life, Paws, Scaredy Cat, Fit Fred and Sick Sid (the statutory bully/weakling combo), Hit Kid - a fabulous creation by Sid Burgon about a young lad who takes revenge on bullies on behalf of the little kids, Big Game Hunter - setting up well known kids' games on a huge scale -  and Micky Mimic - impressionist extraordinaire.

KRAZY POSTERS
Issue 79, dated 15th April 1978. "Read all about it inside". "Krazy stars on the move". Well we all know what that's all about. This was the last issue of Krazy. The following week a few strips would be absorbed into Whizzer and Chips and all the madness, anarchy and irreverence that made Krazy it's one-of-a-kind kids comic of the day would disappear. Krazy Holiday Specials would be published every year until 1983, and annuals would survive until 1985. We wouldn't see this kind of experimental publication again... Well... not until 1986 and the birth of Oink! comic, but that's another story.
