And who made this parody?
Was this just regular image editing or AI?
Because Norman Mingo died 1980.
He of course made the original cover, which can be found here:

Chaos@catflyhigh @feliks The blur and straight clipping artefacts around the title feel very much like human-made image editing. Also looks like a bit of sharpening was applied. If I had to edit an old scan like this, I would use similar techniques. Also, it is a legit mad print, I think chances are high a human was paid for this.

@chaosthief @catflyhigh i don't believe people are getting paid for memes. but i agree with the rest
@feliks @catflyhigh you might have managed to successfully avoid 99% of social media marketing if you think people do not get paid for memes :P
@chaosthief @catflyhigh fair but i mean memes like this
