Esquire’s October issue is the magazine’s 1,000th. To celebrate the occasion, the editors got together and picked Esquire’s 50 best covers, starting with its first, published in 1933. (FishbowlNY)

Over its 82-year existence, the famed men’s magazine has featured stories from literary heavyweights including John Steinbeck, Norman Mailer and Stephen King. To help kick off its landmark October 2015 issue, Esquire has launched a digital archive, Esquire Classic, that will house all previous 999 issues of the magazine. The subscription product costs $4.99 per month (with a free month to start), or $45 per year for non subscribers and $30 for current Esquire subscribers. Esquire Classic presents the old issues, page-by-page, as they were when they first ran—including classic advertisements. (Adweek)
