From 1962 – 1972 George Lois created some of the most iconic Esquire covers of his generation.
The MOMA is currently honoring the New York advertising genius with an 11-month installation that

George Lois: The Esquire Covers
@ The MOMA
April 25, 2008–March 31, 2009

One of my personal favorites is the 1968 cover depicting Muhammad Ali as the martyred Saint Sebastian.
The year prior, Ali a devote Muslim declined to step forward during his induction to the U.S armed forces.
That very same day the New York State Athletic commission suspended his boxing license and stripped
him of his Heavyweight title.
