The first two covers were done by cover artist Ken Copel and the last two were photographs.

We continued to use our little box in the upper right-hand corner as a mini-cover for various messages and bits of art.

The Summer 1988 issue had an interesting view into the insides of a computer from the back where you could see an inverted message on the screen along with the image of a city either beyond that or contained as part of it.

The partially obscured message read: WHEN THERE IS NO TIGER UPON THE MOUNTAIN, THE MONKEY SHALL BE KING. :2600 SENDS.

Other than the "2600" part, this was an old Chinese proverb.

Also hidden in the image is our ISSN just for kicks.

Our mini-cover featured a full screen close-up of President Ronald Reagan pointing to the part of his nose that had skin cancer.  It seemed relevant at the time.
