Frantic Magazine is a

Individual issues contained a collection of parodies of popular culture - movies, TV series and printed adverts. These were mostly self-contained items that appeared in a single issue, though an ongoing strip featured the adventures of Howard the Duck. Many of these features were reprints from the magazine's US counterpart, Crazy Magazine.^[1] Thus, the humour often relied on American slang, phrasing and cultural references - not well known to comics readers in the UK in that era - as well as more than passing familiarity with characters from Marvel Comics.

The magazine's mascot and cover character was an import from Crazy – a sinister clown called Obnoxio The Clown.^[1]
