NATIONAL LAMPOON June 1971(F/VF)-RELIGION!

From 1970, the first year of the Lampoon in its classic period, the influential and legendary NATIONAL LAMPOON's ninth issue, with a snappy cover by Frank Springer, and featuring(from original table of contents):

• Mrs. Agnew's Diary, Uncredited [Doug Kenney]
• Contest
• Christmas Beware!, By Gahan Wilson
• Christmas Gifts for Liberals, By Terry Catchpole
• Capitol Hull Comix, By Joe Orlando
• Write Your Own Agnew Speech, By Nicholas Fish [Henry Beard]
• Fishmouth, By Ray Puechner
• Joey and Jill in Santaland, By Arnold Roth
• The Myth of the Mafia, By Christopher Rush
• Stocking Stuffers
• Underachievers Jokes, By Fran Kafka [Doug Kenney]
• Things of Past Remembrance, By Peter Schickele
• Santology, By Henry Beard
• I Remember Jesus, By John Boni
• 6 Surefire Costumes Guaranteed to Get You on "Let's Make a Deal", By Michael O'Donoghue and Rick Meyerowitz
• Peace Comes to the Middle East, By By Golda Meir and Isidore Silver
• Sob Story, By Bob Goldman
• Make Mine Mulch, By Elio Bosco

Every single piece a classic. Influential, hilarious, and a collection of dark comedic minds that indelibly changed American humor. And you're never likely to see an assemblage of writers and artists in such a beautifully designed magazine again. (Not to mention the hilariously dated ads, almost worth the price by themselves)

This issue is lightly read but well-kept and bagged, and I'd say it's in F condition, though possibly VF. My Lampoon collection is one of my dearest possessions, and has been well-tended to. I just don't have the room to properly keep them anymore, however.
