National Lampoon Magazine — June 1976 (Diamond Jubilee Issue)
National Lampoon Magazine — June 1976 (Diamond Jubilee Issue)
The June 1976 "Diamond Jubilee Issue" of National Lampoon features a close-up photo of a rhinestone-studded heart brooch pierced by a jeweled arrow — glittering against a dark background, simultaneously glamorous and slightly threatening. It's a cover that looks like it belongs in a jewelry catalog until you read the headline.
Cover lines deliver the full Lampoon experience: Son of High School Yearbook!, Searing Bernie X-posé!, and Special Canadian Suppliment! — the misspelling intentional, naturally. And in the bottom corner, the magazine's most self-aware moment: "Lots of Advertising? More of the Same!" The Lampoon mocking its own commercial existence, in print, on the cover.
A strong mid-run issue with a visually elegant cover and characteristically sharp self-awareness. Bagged and boarded, solid condition. Sold as-is.
