National Lampoon — May 1970, "Greed" Issue, Peter Max Cover (Vintage Magazine)

Vintage & Found · The Foundry

National Lampoon. May 1970. Greed. Cover art by Peter Max.

The May 1970 issue of National Lampoon — the second month of the magazine’s existence. Cover art by Peter Max: a psychedelic sunburst in yellow, blue, green, and purple, coins and figures raining through the composition, the word GREED in bold white at center. Inside: The Gall Street Journal and The Mafia Goes Public. Cover price: 75 cents.

National Lampoon launched in April 1970. This is the second issue. The magazine that would go on to define American comedy for a generation — the writers who built SNL, the films that defined the 1970s and 80s — was two months old when this was printed. Peter Max was at the peak of his cultural visibility, his psychedelic style synonymous with the era. The combination is unrepeatable.

Good vintage condition. Individually bagged. One of a kind.
