International Insanity Magazine #2 - Neal Adams

[Chip Cataldo]

So I'm thumbing through this completely bizarre magazine from 1976 when I see a color section in the middle, and half of that (4 pages) is "The Panascopic Man" with artwork by Neal Adams.

 

Has Neal done any other obscure things like this? I've never heard of him doing artwork for non-horror/Conan magazines.

 

Peace,

Neal worked in advertising, so there's some interesting things out there.

He has tons of work in that same era in Playboy

Really? I've got a bunch of those as well. Time to start flipping through.

 

Peace,

Neal did a lot of interior comics for National Lampoon, among them:

Dragula, Queen of Darkness (which had a Frank Frazetta cover)

Deadman (about a real corpse, not the DC character)

Bat-F@rt and Robert, The Adult Book-Keeper

Character-Building Comics

Son O' God meets Zimmerman

Also a comic about VD. (First Lay Comics?)

There are more.

A lot of it was politically incorrect and very funny.

Now I want to go through my Lampoon box.

that Doug Comic world site has the Neal Adams issues highlighted (word search Neal Adams) for the PLayboys on this page:

I checked that out already and the issues he appears in are:

9/72, 1/73, 5/75, 9/75, and one page reprinted in Best of #9

sadly, I had none of those.

 

 

and same thing for National Lampoon at this address:

could save you a lot of time

Wow, thanks VERY much for that link. Seriously, that helps me a LOT.

 

I appreciate it.

 

Peace,

I remember back in the 70s, some dealers would fold the rest of the magazine around so that the Neal Adams drawn fake covers inside the National Lampoons would show in the bag.

 

As much as I loved Nat Lamp as a teenager, I don't really have the desire to pick up all the old mags again, but would buy a collection of his work from National Lampoon in a heartbeat.

no problem

I'm a Nat Lamp fan and though I prefer the floppies, this seems like a good way to check out which issues appeal.

 

This is a page the production of which involved former Boardie Red Hook. I argued that the illo in the "fumetti" was an Adams and that the "suit guy" was Neal - he disagreed.

 

I still think it's Neal.

 

 

 

The "sketch artist" is Red Hook

-- that is a pretty funny joke
