National Lampoon Magazine #6/1986

"At the Movies: The Splatter Version" is a surreal, satirical short story from National Lampoon Magazine #6/1986, written by George Barkin and illustrated by Bob Camp in a sharp, exaggerated style. The story follows a wildly absurd political fantasy where Vice-President George Bush wins the presidency by championing both sides of every issue—aided, of course, by the spectral influence of Genghis Khan and Abraham Lincoln. The cover, a striking, hyper-detailed piece by Boris Vallejo, captures the magazine’s signature blend of satire and over-the-top visual flair.
