National Lampoon Magazine — May 1977 (Gay Ish Issue)
National Lampoon Magazine — May 1977 (Gay Ish Issue)
The May 1977 "Gay Ish" issue of National Lampoon features a richly painted King Kong parody cover: a massive gorilla — Queen Kong — wearing red lipstick and gold hoop earrings, cradling a terrified man in her enormous hand against a lush jungle backdrop. The illustration is detailed, dramatic, and completely committed to the bit.
The cover lines are a masterclass in sustained wordplay: Froots — An Oral History, Better Homes and Closets, Elton's John, and Special Appearance: Arnold Schwarzenegger in Selected Shorts. Every single one is a pun. Not one of them misses. The Lampoon firing on all cylinders.
A visually striking and conceptually sharp issue from the magazine's mid-run. Bagged and boarded, solid condition. Sold as-is.
