UNCANNY COVERS
Uncanny, as in similarity. Time and again different magazines show off certain unique or otherwise peculiar theme or subject of interest on their covers and, soon enough, (an)other magazines did similar, almost identical, design. Whether unknowingly or intentional, it’s a curious and interesting quest to compile them.
