New Yorker Covers Editor Franoise Mouly repositioned Art Spiegelmans 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 the 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.
I think this is a very strong cover because it shows the emptiness of the world after 9/11; this all-black cover is the symbol of what 9/11 left us, a dark hole in our souls that has the cruelty of certain men inside.
The TWIN TOWERS are in relief and they stand out the cover.
However, the cover has no "photographic" features, is more than an emotional cover
