They’re all wonderful in their own distinctive and unique ways. It’s hard to pick just one. My favorite is #3 down, the July 7, 1934 by Leyendecker. I remember getting the July/August ’86 issue when it was used again, but bought a newsstand copy to have one without the address label, it was so spectacular. It did have the bar code, but was the lesser of two evils. Now I’d be happy with the smaller labels of back then. They’re so big on every magazine now.
#5 down by (Ivan Dmitri) though a photo, looks like a painting; to me anyway. Usually it’s the other way around, when the art looks like photography as seen on some of Rockwell’s covers from the 50’s. Thanks for this feature!
