Playboy has always
been a purveyor of the social climate, a cultural and sexual innovator that
happens to have an exceptionally good eye for beautiful women. With that in
mind, Playboy writer Damon Brown, with the help of Hugh Hefner,
looked back over the history of the magazine to come up with the greatest
covers that graced newsstands.From the 1953 Marilyn
Monroe cover that started it all to Darine Stern as one of the first
African-American women to appear on an American cover, Playboy’s Greatest Covers balances the world’s most
exciting women with the story behind it all.
