The definitive presentation of the world’s most popular and evocative magazine covers.

For a century, The New Yorker cover has signaled authority at a glance: famous lettering set against images that amuse, provoke, and unerringly capture the spirit of our times. Since 1993, Mouly has guided that iconic format into new visual territory, honoring the magazine's visual authority, treating its covers as journalism on current affairs, and expanding its range globally with a roster of world-famous illustrators.

Françoise Mouly is the art editor of The New Yorker, and is best known as the cofounder, coeditor, and publisher with her husband, Art Spiegelman, of the comics and graphics magazine Raw (1980–1991), and the publisher of Raw Books and Toon Books. David Remnick has been the editor of The New Yorker since 1998, previously a staff writer for the magazine for six years. He is the author of several books, including King of the World, a biography of Muhammad Ali, named the top nonfiction book of the year by Time magazine, and Lenin’s Tomb, winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
