National Lampoon — April 1971, "Adventure" Issue, Pulp Fantasy Cover (Vintage Magazine)
Original April 1971 issue of National Lampoon — the thirteenth issue overall. Theme: Adventure. The cover is a stunning pulp fantasy illustration in the tradition of Frank Frazetta: a warrior woman stands triumphant atop a rocky outcrop, a colonial explorer at her side, a masked tribal figure looming behind, and a crowd of figures below reaching upward. The word Adventure arcs across the image in bold green lettering. Teasers: Roller Derby Dames · Tarzan of the Cows · Weird Tales · Spicy Stories. Original cover price: 75¢.
One of the most visually dramatic covers in the Lampoon’s early run — a direct parody of pulp adventure magazine aesthetics rendered with genuine artistic skill. A second-year issue from the founding era. Stored in a protective sleeve. Sold as found.
