This piece of searing political commentary by Jack Pollock references both the Vargas pin-up girls and the old Coppertone ads, and was originally published in March 2003 (Vol. 3, No. 42) to coincide with President George W. Bush’s declaration of war against Saddam Hussein. (Spoiler alert: It didn’t end so well.)

in 2003, I showed some Mercurys to my old journalism professor—I wanted to show him the paper I’d started freelancing for. The one with that Pollack cover was one of them. “Oh wow,” he said, looking at the cover, looking at me, wondering what he had wrought. “That’s something, alright.”
I love this cover.
