(Esquire – 1933)

Magazines might be struggling these days, but I still love ’em. There’s something gratifying about flipping through the pages and ripping out pictures or articles that you want to save for later. Oh and did you know you can actually open a bottle of beer with a magazine? Try doing that with your iPad!

And then there’s old magazines. You know, like Grandma’s stash of 3 decades worth of National Geographic that gives you a peek into the lives of the Pygmy people back in 1950. Well rev up your time machines because here are the covers of the first issues of some of the world’s most popular magazines.
