A retro pulp sci-fi magazine cover showing a surprised astronaut amidst monkeys and jungle ruins under a crimson sky, titled 'The Chameleons' MONKEYLAND'.

A retro 1950s pulp sci-fi magazine cover illustration inspired by the song “Monkeyland” by The Chameleons. The scene shows a surreal alien jungle filled with strange, humanoid monkey-like creatures beneath a crimson sky, ruins of futuristic cities overgrown with vines. In the foreground, a lone explorer in a torn space suit looks around in confusion and awe. The composition uses dramatic pulp-style lighting, hand-painted texture, and bold vintage typography. The magazine title reads “The Chameleons’ MONKEYLAND” in large, stylized retro letters. Additional cover blurbs appear as alternate song lyrics, such as: “This never used to be my town”, “A monkey’s smile in the mirror”, and “We’re lost in Monkeyland!”. The design mimics old pulp sci-fi covers — worn paper texture, vibrant yet slightly faded colors, painterly brushstrokes, signed by a fictional artist, 1950s printing imperfections See more
