The Elvis Collection: Magazines 1

I'm still working on more scrapbook pics.  Here are a few magazines that were in the collection.  The articles in these weren't worth scanning.


The article inside was about various deceased iconic celebrities.


I think dad brought these People magazines home from work for mom.  I thought they would be more nostalgic being from the 80's, but they were really mundane, even the ads.  There were a few other issues mixed in that probably featured other celebrities that mom liked, because I couldn't find any Elvis material in them.   


Haunting cover image, but the article wasn't worthwhile.


The inevitable death scandal covers.  Not the King's best outfit there.


Nice shot of Brooke Shields.

Putting Elvis anywhere on the cover was a selling point even ten years after his death.  If you're wondering, in the Mark Hamill interview, he was looking forward to finishing Return of the Jedi and moving on with his acting career.  They mention he was a comic book geek, which might have led him to being the Joker in the Batman Animated Series.
