Byte, in it's heyday, had the best cover illustrations of any magazine published before or since.


I would put The Saturday Evening Post cover illustrations by Norman Rockwell ahead of the Byte cover illustration.


For a certain crowd, I agree. The Saturday Evening Post covers spawned a homage set of covers with DC superheroes and villains that is very true to the original's spirit. I will say that in my youth the Byte covers were "better" because I didn't grow in a place that the SEP covers would invoke feelings of nostalgia or familiarity.
