This Island Earth: Magazine Coverage

1) Magazine cover gallery:
When it comes to representation in genre magazines, This Island Earth seems to lead the pack when it comes to covers. Below are the covers of magazines in which This Island Earth either took up the entire cover, or at least had a photo.

Note that just because TIE rates the cover it does not necessarily follow that there will be a corresponding article within. There are also a few magazines which feature TIE interviews or articles that did not give it pride of place on the cover.
