Seeing as how a number of you seem to have enjoyed the recent WHAT THE - - ?! cover gallery, I thought you might also appreciate seeing its forerunner, NOT BRAND ECHH.  So, herewith presented are the first five covers - the few remaining issues in my collection will be featured in a follow-up post whenever I remember.

This cover was later used on MARVEL MADHOUSE #1, a U.K. monthly mag published in 1981

And below is the cover to CRAZY #1 from 1972/'73 (first acquired by me while on holiday in Blackpool in 1973), which featured the contents of NBE #8, with the order rearranged somewhat.

Back in the '60s, MARVEL published a comic called NOT BRAND ECHH, which lasted for 13 issues.  In the '70s, CRAZY was the order of the day (3 issues featuring reprints from NBE in the colour version of the monthly mag).  If they had a humour mag going in the '80s, I wasn't paying attention, but I was wide awake in the early '90s when they released WHAT THE - - ?! - the then-modern version of what Not Brand Echh had been three decades before.  (It lasted for 26 issues, though I only ever bought 21 of them.)

Anyway, here's the first of a three-part series, showcasing the zany covers of Mighty Marvel's Madcap Magazine for Mental Mutants!  Got a favourite?  Then be sure to share it with your fellow Crivs.

Here's a couple of back pages from MARVEL's WHAT THE - - ?! mag from the early '90s.  I'll be running a gallery of front covers in an upcoming post or two in the very near future.  These two are just to give you a little taste.  Whaddya think?
