Universe will be releasing a hard bound book featuring every single cover of Thrasher Magazine’s first 30 years. The book, titled Maximum Rad: The Iconic Covers of Thrasher Magazine will reportedly feature it all, including an intro written by Craig Stecyk.
From early pioneers such as Jay Adams, Tony Alva, and Steve Caballero through the giants of the 1980s and 1990s, including Tony Hawk and Brian Anderson, to such legends of the scene today as James Hardy and Justin Figueroa, every icon of skating has graced the cover of Thrasher, captured in mid-air and mid-action by the sharpest shooters around. . . Organized chronologically, and including every cover published in Thrasher’s first thirty years—even long out-of-print and hard-to-find collectible issues—the book at last reveals the stories behind these legendary cover-photo shoots, as told by the skaters, photographers, and editors who made these the most iconic mementos of skate culture.
The book will be released on February 21, 2012. Click here to pre-order it on Amazon. And yes, we’re looking forward to it.
