Best magazine covers since 1965

Best magazine covers – and the winner is: The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) is hosting a competition to identify and rank in order the 40 greatest American magazine covers of the last 40 years…“The goal of ‘Magazine 40/40’ is to honor the most memorable, influential, compelling and iconic American magazine covers, from January 1965 to the present…”

Prediction, an easy one, at that: I hate to make a spoiler announcement of the winner on the day they first announce the competition, but this is a no brainer. The most memorable, influential, compelling and iconic American cover (the Citizen Kane of magazine covers) is the cover of the April, 1968, Esquire Magazine.

    National Lampoon’s “Buy this magazine or we will shoot this dog” has a … chance.

    It certainly should make the top 40.

    Two come immediately to my mind:

    The 1985 National Georgraphic with the girl with the striking, pained eyes from Afghanistan.

    And the 1990ish Vanity Fair with a pregnant Demi Moore.
