National Lampoon — September 1970, "Show Biz" Issue, Minnie Mouse Cover, Sagebrush (Vintage Magazine)
Original September 1970 issue of National Lampoon — the magazine’s sixth month of publication. Cover theme: Show Biz. Cover art by Sagebrush: a bright yellow cover featuring a winking, gap-toothed Minnie Mouse rendered in the classic Disney style — subverted by the Lampoon’s signature irreverence. Cover teasers: John and Yoko Unmasked · Raquel Welch Undressed · Charles Manson Onstage. Original cover price: 75¢.
The Minnie Mouse cover is one of the most visually striking and collectible from the Lampoon’s first year — a direct parody of Disney’s wholesome brand identity set against some of the most provocative names of 1970. A first-year issue from the founding run. Stored in a protective sleeve. Sold as found.
