Ep.63 – Crazyman No. 1 (1992)

More Like Boringman, Amirite!?

Jun 18, 2018

This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée dive back into the Continuity Comics Continuniverse and fish out 1992's Crazyman no. 1! That's right, Crazyman: A character so unpredictable that the fact that he never really does anything all that crazy just makes him all the crazier... or something. Anyway, Danny Brody is a man with a rare mental disorder that causes him to react to any stimuli by rolling around on the floor and throwing a hissy fit, making him the hero the Ritalin generation deserved. In a book filled with geopolitical tension, eye-gougings, and multiple secret organizations, Crazyman has something for everyone, assuming what you wanted was in no way entertaining. Come take a ride back to the 90s, when shoving nuanced mental illnesses under the reductive umbrella of "crazy" was not only acceptable, but actively encouraged in the arts!
