📸 **[*The NYT* lists the 25 most influential magazine covers of all time.](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/t-magazine/magazine-covers-esquire-rolling-stone.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qk8.LDKl.N1yb1OvQi3rZ)** The covers themselves are great, but I loved reading the context behind them and stories of creating them.
