The National Lampoon Encyclopedia of Humor
Twenty First Century / Heavy Metal / National Lampoon · 1973 · 1 issue
About the series
A single-issue 1973 anthology from National Lampoon, this oversized encyclopedia gathers the magazine’s signature irreverent humor into a comic-strip format. Ed Bluestone and M. K. Brown were among the key contributors to this snapshot of the Lampoon’s golden era, which later saw reprints from Heavy Metal and Twenty First Century. It matters as a time capsule of the magazine’s boundary-pushing, often surreal comedy, preserved in a format that feels like a joke-filled textbook.
