National Lampoon Magazine #38
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Night Rider" is a striking, self-contained story from National Lampoon Magazine #38 (1973), a 75-cent comic that pulses with surreal humor and offbeat tension. Written and illustrated by Charles Rodriguez—handling every aspect from pencils to lettering—this tale follows a sideshow operator whose performance hinges on a fragile illusion, with the protagonist Alex caught between identity and deception. The cover, a bold, stylized piece by Warren Sattler, captures the story’s eerie, campy atmosphere without revealing its twist.
In a brief, deadpan vignette from *National Lampoon Magazine* #38 (1973), the sideshow proprietor growls at Alex, insisting they maintain a feminine appearance to preserve the illusion of their male-female Siamese twin act—though the real nature of the deception remains just out of reach.
