Krazy was a British comic published every Monday by IPC Magazines Ltd. It ran from (issues dates) 16 October 1976 to 15 April 1978, when it merged with stable-mate Whizzer and Chips. In 1977, one of the characters in the comic, Cheeky, proved popular enough to get his own comic, Cheeky, which was later merged into Whoopee!. The comic included a “disguise” back-cover, such as the cover of a diary or brochure, which allowed readers to hide the comic from parents or teachers (although one issue on April Fool’s day had the front cover upside down).
Krazy’s stories included:
‘ello, It’s Cheeky
Big Game Hunter
Birdman and Chicken
Detective Fumbly’s (Nut) Case Book, a text story usually with one illustration, rather than a conventional strip
Fit Fred and Sick Sid
Handy Andy
Hit Kid
Kid Comic
The Krazy Gang
Micky Mimic
Paws
Pongalongapongo, featuring Pongo Snodgrass, originally a supporting character in The Krazy Gang
Ray Presto
Scaredy Cat
The 12½p Buytonic Boy

Even the mighty Frank McDiarmid couldn’t be expected to deliver a whole Cheeky’s Week every issue so, as we have seen, a number of other artists stood in from time to time.
While Frank was drawing Cheeky’s escapades in Cheeky Weekly, he also drew 44 Cheeky pages in Krazy comic during the 26 weeks that Cheeky Weekly and Krazy shared space on the newsagents’ shelves.
