National Lampoon — May 1971, "The Future: It Came from 1971" Issue (Vintage Magazine)
Original May 1971 issue of National Lampoon — the fourteenth issue overall. Theme: The Future: It Came from 1971. The cover is a collision of real and imagined: an actual NASA moon landing photograph serves as the backdrop, with retro sci-fi comic book characters composited in — a caped superhero, a space princess in pink, and a green alien creature crouching at their feet, all surrounding an astronaut in a full pressure suit. Teasers: Zero Gravity Sex Manual · Lyndon Johnson Remembers. Original cover price: 75¢.
A visually inventive cover that plays the earnestness of the Space Age directly against the absurdity of pulp science fiction — one of the more conceptually clever compositions of the Lampoon’s second year. Stored in a protective sleeve. Sold as found.
