Here's a slew of comics Neal Adams drew for the National Lampoon between 1971 and 1975, which is when he was at the peak of his talent from my own personal perspective. He was still drawing covers and stories for DC during this period, with the occasional foray back to Marvel. He had also begun Continuity Studios with Dick Giordano around the time he began working for the Lampoon as well, so Neal was a busy man. The stories are what they are, which exemplifies the Lampoon humor and its writers of the time, but the art is pure gold. At Marvel, Adam's best work was inked by Tom Palmer and at DC he was usually inked by Giordano. Both did a great job polishing up Neals pencils but here Adams inks his own work and the results are gorgeous. Enjoy.
(Please read the stories with the knowledge that they were written in the early 70s. What passed for humor at the time doesn't always translate well to a modern audience).
