Here is my favorite magazine cover of all time. Those who know me may be surprised to learn that it isn't illustrated; it consists of a well-composed photograph. But, like an illustration, it does tell a story.

The cover of Graphis No. 185 has a richly dramatic and humorous composition by the very talented Phil Marco. It features the original Ingersoll Mickey Mouse watch, a mousetrap with a bit of cheese, and the catastrophic results of the encounter. At the time of publication in the late 1970's, Marco was doing mostly still life photography, but it appears that over the years he has taken on other subjects and cinematography as well.
