Hepcat Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Those Crazy comics are awesome! I'll add Crazy to my list of titles underrated by present day collectors. Edited May 28 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course those kids who did send away for any of the sets advertised in the pages of comic mags must have been bitterly disappointed with what they received, especially in comparison to the often strikingly gorgeous ads. These sets are now known as "penny flats" and have their own avid collector base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should also check out two other Mad knockoff Atlas titles - Riot and Wild. (I'd post them, but adamstrange strongly objected).

Hepcat Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 How so? Did you order a set? Did you become a student of Roman or ancient history in general? Are you a collector of penny flats or Marx playsets these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
