National Lampoon — June 1971, "Religion for Fun and Prophet" Issue (Vintage Magazine)
Original June 1971 issue of National Lampoon — the fifteenth issue overall. Theme: Religion for Fun and Prophet. The cover illustration is a masterclass in caricature: a towering, hook-nosed fire-and-brimstone preacher looms over a rapt crowd, one finger pointed skyward, clutching a copy of Reader’s Digest as if it were holy scripture. Teasers: Cult Hero Comics with Kate Millett · Charles Reich · Bucky Fuller · Marshall McLuhan. Original cover price: 75¢.
A pointed satire of American religious culture and the era’s intellectual celebrity — the cover alone tells you everything about where the Lampoon’s editorial mind was in the summer of 1971. Stored in a protective sleeve. Sold as found.
