Esquire's covers have always been clever, but you don't realize just how thoughtful, relevant, and downright stylish they've been until you start clicking through this cover gallery.
Chronologically ordered from 1933 on, it's a fascinating peek at the last 70+ years of pop culture, politics, the conventional and the unconventional. We especially like the 1960's covers when the magazine really loosens up. Check out May, 1968: Richard Nixon with his eyes closed, while four hands do his face makeup. Copy: "Nixon's last chance. (This time he'd better look right!)"
