Click on a year on the chart below to view its covers (before ’68 the more accurate term would be “front pages,” since the format in those years was newspaper like, with multiple photos and written copy). Links are currently active from 1960 on. Additions from earlier in our 70-plus years are being added periodically, a decade at a time, and announced on the home page.
