    Incredible to reflect back on pop history over nearly 30 yrs and revisit the so many titles Madonna appeared on.

    Incredible again!

    I love your blog but it’s increasingly becoming dominated by copyright-infringing photograph collections like this. If you’re going to post something like this, you should at least give the photographers credit. I’m pretty close to unsubscribing.

    Hi Dave - thanks for your comment.

    Wherever we can, we provide full credit to the photographers - and other creators - whose work we showcase on How to be a Retronaut, as you can see looking back through the site’s history. If somebody provides us with credit information that is missing from a post, will we always add that information to the post retrospectively.

    We do not always seek clearance from the creators of the work we showcase, though in some instances we do. We have yet to have an example of a creator not wanting their material to be featured on How to be a Retronaut. In each instance to date, even when we have not sought prior clearance, the creator or creators have been very pleased to have their material showcased on the site.

    If a creator was not happy to have their work featured, we would always remove it.

    In the example of the Madonna magazine covers, our judgement was that the exercise of showing the evolution of Madonna magazine covers was of sufficient interest to How to be a Retronaut readers for it to be displayed, even though fully researching and crediting each magazine cover photographer would be beyond our capacity.

    @dave, (all due respect) these are Magazines, it’s not like they DON’T want the publicity. It’s not like “How to be a Retronaut” hacked someones phone? Also, “How to be a Retronaut” are portraying the Magazines in a good and decent manner. They are not reselling the magazines for their own gain.

    The owners of “this” material are the magazines, not the photographer. The photographer only own’s the original photo (in most cases) NOT the art work of the magazine. I can go online and find THOUSANDS of images of magazine covers EVERYWHERE: here’s one right here: http://artofmanliness.com/2009/01/06/best-mens-magazines/

    Anyways, the NAME of the photographer is usually inside the magazine, they don’t post it on the cover (mostly), so it’s hard to get the photographers name for credit.

    I want to point out that “How to be a Retronaut” gives credit to everyone, link backs and more (as far as I have seen). This is in fact one of the FEW sites that stresses QUALITY, openness, authenticity, fairness, and put’s the user in their focus and NOT advertising.

    It takes a lot to build a user focused site, I’m happy every morning when I get to work and then I come to this site to see what’s new. Those are my two cents over this, I don’t think this site is trying to steel things from people, as far as I have seen.

    Why hasn’t she aged! I think this is proof of immortality.

  • marcos

    photoshop….

  • Pete

    I the the newer covers are actually using old photos and not from a current photo shoot, or like Marcos said, heavy on the photoshop.

  • La'son

    I love MADONNA. She rocks. :]
