At least Oz, Nova and Time Out are represented by good examples. Agree about The Face, though – like I said in my post, there a load of covers – The Face, Private Eye, Vogue as you say Mark – that are the wrong covers but the right magazines. That first Face cover disappeared without trace – not til Brody got involved did the covers start being special.

Hardly any of those are the best covers of the mags in question. What about the Gold issue of Vogue (Kate Moss as the Queen's head?) Or the green jelly one? As for the Face - there are plenty of better examples: China, Hard Times, Grace Jones, Paris... And no Town?? Hardly any of those shortlisted are 'iconic' or even particularly memorable.
