The script I'm working on will be twenty minutes late because that's how long I spent this evening browsing the Esquire Magazine Cover Gallery, an online display of every cover in that publication's robust history. Of special note are the ones from the late sixties when George Lois was in charge and coming up with incredible designs and cover concepts. (The insides of the magazine were pretty good back then, too. But it was often worth buying just for what Lois put on the front of it.) The cover I picked out to display above left from October, 1969 wasn't one of the cleverer ones but it was by the wonderful Marie Severin and it adorned the issue that contained a wonderful feature on Marvel Comics, back when the whole world hadn't heard of the X-Men. My favorite was probably the one above right from May, 1968 with Nixon in make-up for that year's presidential run. But I also liked March, 1969 (fake paparazzi photos of Howard Hughes) and April, 1968 (Muhammad Ali as St. Sebastian). And look around. A lot of them are wonderful.
