National Lampoon Magazine — January 1976 (Secret Issue)

Sale price  $32.00 Regular price  $40.00

The January 1976 "Secret Issue" of National Lampoon features one of the most notorious and frequently discussed covers in the magazine's history: a woman in a trench coat flashing it open to reveal a bare chest — with a fully rendered human eyeball where the nipple should be. It's surrealist, provocative, and completely unforgettable.

The cover lines complete the picture: Kennedy Rekilled, U.F.O.'s Invade, C.I.A. Penetrated, and Mysterious Fire Hydrants. The Lampoon doing conspiracy culture, government paranoia, and pure absurdism all at once — in January 1976, two years after Nixon's resignation, with the Church Committee hearings on CIA abuses still fresh. The jokes landed with weight.

A genuinely iconic cover from the magazine's creative peak. Bagged and boarded, solid condition. A must-have for serious collectors. Sold as-is.
