The New Yorker

=== 9/11 ===
Hired by Tina Brown in 1992, [[Art Spiegelman]] worked for ''The New Yorker'' for ten years but resigned a few months after the [[September&nbsp;11 terrorist attacks]]. The cover created by Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly for the September 24, 2001, issue of ''The New Yorker'' received wide acclaim and was voted as being among the top ten magazine covers of the past 40 years by the American Society of Magazine Editors, which commented:

{{blockquote|''New Yorker'' Covers Editor Françoise Mouly repositioned Art Spiegelman's silhouettes, inspired by [[Ad Reinhardt]]'s black-on-black paintings, so that the North Tower's antenna breaks the "W" of the magazine's logo. Spiegelman wanted to see the emptiness, and find the awful/awe-filled image of all that disappeared on 9/11. The silhouetted Twin Towers were printed in a fifth, black ink, on a field of black made up of the standard four color printing inks. An overprinted clear varnish helps create the ghost images that linger, insisting on their presence through the blackness.}}

At first glance, the cover appears to be totally black, but upon close examination it reveals the silhouettes of the [[World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center]] towers in a slightly darker shade of black. In some situations, the ghost images become visible only when the magazine is tilted toward a light source.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ASME's Top 40 Magazine Covers of the Last 40 Years – ASME |url=http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contests/asmes-top-40-magazine-covers-last-40-years |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181104050040/http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contests/asmes-top-40-magazine-covers-last-40-years |archive-date=November 4, 2018 |access-date=December 23, 2015}}</ref> In September 2004, Spiegelman reprised the image on the cover of his book ''[[In the Shadow of No Towers]]'', in which he relates his experience of the Twin Towers attack and its psychological aftereffects.
