The New Yorker
The New Yorker is an American weekly of reportage, commentary, criticism, essays, fiction, satire, cartoons and poetry, published since 1925. From Nabokov and Salinger to Updike, it has long premiered fiction by major writers; Andy Warhol’s first commercial illustration appeared here too.
The April 27, 2026 issue features Christoph Niemann’s cover “West Fourth”, a portrait of the Cage — the outdoor basketball court on West Fourth Street in the West Village — drawn from his own years playing pickup games in the city.
The June 1, 2026 issue opens with Mark Ulriksen’s cover “Kings of New York”, celebrating the Knicks and placing Jalen Brunson among the franchise’s all-time greats in an imagined cross-era lineup.
The April 13, 2026 Future Issue opens with Christoph Niemann’s cover “New Horizons” — an horizon of machines, one cradling a person who reaches happily toward a screen, countering the doom narrative around A.I. with a more ambivalent human moment.
The May 5, 2025 issue features Barry Blitt’s cover “The First Hundred Days”, marking the opening stretch of Donald Trump’s second term — a hundred-day blitz that the cartoonist reads against the 1,361 days still to come.
The January 27, 2025 issue features Till Lauer’s cover “Flames and Shadows”, a portrait of the Los Angeles skyline during the wildfires that burned through some forty thousand acres — places of desire turned hellscape in the face of climate change.
