Magazine Covers
24th April 2012
Daniel Craig is appearing on not one, but two
different covers of Empire magazine in the UK this month. For
their June 2012 issue (released in April), subscribers are getting
a special treat of a different cover to that of those who buy
their copies on the newsstands. Craig is seen posing with the trusty
Walther PPK in a classic Bond pose, reminiscent of the early
Connery days.
Meanwhile, the colour cover on the retail edition
of the magazine features a more contemporary shot with a bullet
hole montage and a line-up of previous Bond actors.
As well as a report from the "Skyfall"
set, the issue boasts a look back at "On Her Majesty's Secret
Service", "Live And Let Die" and "GoldenEye".
