Life Magazine - January 1990 - The Year in Pictures '89 Special Issue

This is a copy of the January 1990 issue of Life magazine, specifically a "Special Issue" covering "The Year in Pictures '89". The cover features a collage of images highlighting significant events and personalities from 1989. Prominently displayed are images of figures like Madonna (in what appears to be her "Express Yourself" look), a celebratory crowd perhaps related to the fall of the Berlin Wall, tanks in Tiananmen Square, a man in baseball attire (possibly Pete Rose due to the Cincinnati Reds cap), and a woman in a red dress reclining. The cover also includes a festive image of the Eiffel Tower at night and the Joker character, likely referencing the 1989 Batman film. The magazine appears to be in good to very good condition with minimal visible wear or damage on the cover, which is printed on glossy paper. The spine seems intact. The overall dimensions are consistent with a standard magazine size, though exact measurements are not available from the image. There is a price of $3.95 visible. A yellow banner across the top left corner indicates it is a "SPECIAL ISSUE." The title "LIFE" is in large red and white lettering across the top, with "THE YEAR IN PICTURES '89" in large black text horizontally across the center. A barcode is visible on the bottom right corner of the cover. The printing appears clear and vibrant, typical of magazine quality from this era. No specific manufacturing details beyond the typical magazine information are visible.
