From Wikipedia:
"The Weekly World News was a largely fictional news tabloid published in the United States from 1979 to 2007, renowned for its outlandish cover stories often based on supernatural or paranormal themes and an approach to news that verged on the satirical. Its characteristic black-and-white covers have become pop-culture images widely used in the arts. It ceased publication in August 2007.
"In 2009, Weekly World News was relaunched as an online only publication. Its current editor-in-chief is Neil McGinness."

Whole Earth Catalog (1968 - 1972)


The first color photo of Earth, imaged in 1967 by the ATS-3 satellite, was used as the cover image of Whole Earth Catalog's first edition.


Wikipedia: 

The Whole Earth Catalog (WEC) was an American counterculture magazine and product catalog published by Stewart Brand several times a year between 1968 and 1972, and occasionally thereafter, until 1998. The magazine featured essays and articles, but was primarily focused on product reviews. 

 The editorial focus was on self-sufficiency, ecology, alternative education, "do it yourself" (DIY), and holism, and featured the slogan "access to tools". While WEC listed and reviewed a wide range of products (clothing, books, tools, machines, seeds, etc.), it did not sell any of the products directly. Instead, the vendor's contact information was listed alongside the item and its review. This is why, while not a regularly published periodical, numerous editions and updates were required to keep price and availability information up to date.

The Wide World Magazine (1898 - 1965)

                                                   Source: Wikimedia Commons

 Wikipedia:
The Wide World Magazine was a British monthly illustrated publication which ran from April 1898 to December 1965.
The magazine was founded by well-known publisher George Newnes, also famous for Tit-Bits, The Strand Magazine, Country Life and others. 
It described itself as "an illustrated magazine of true narrative" and each month purported to feature "true-life" adventure and travel stories gathered from around the world. Its motto was "Truth is stranger than fiction".
Some famous names occasionally wrote for the magazine (such as Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry Morton Stanley, Douglas Reeman etc.), and it was copiously illustrated with photographs, as well as black and white drawings by such artists as Terence Cuneo, Cecil Stuart Tresilian, Alfred Pearse, Chas Sheldon, Paul Hardy, William Barnes Wollen, John L. Wimbush, Charles J. Staniland, Joseph Finnemore, John Charlton, Warwick Goble, Tom Browne, Ernest Prater, Gordon Browne, Edward S Hodgson, Norman H. Hardy, Inglis Sheldon Williams, and Harry Rountree.
The May 1913 issue contained the first reports of the death of notorious outlaw Butch Cassidy in Bolivia.
The Times, in retrospect, humorously described the magazine as about "brave chaps with large moustaches on stiff upper lips, who did stupid and dangerous things."

Yank - The Army Weekly (1942 - 1945)



Wikipedia:
Yank, The Army Weekly was a weekly magazine published by the United States military during World War II.
The idea for the magazine came from Egbert White, who had worked on the newspaper Stars and Stripes during World War I. He proposed the idea to the Army in early 1942, and accepted a commission as lieutenant colonel. White was the overall commander, Major Franklin S. Forsberg was the business manager and Major Hartzell Spence was the first editor.  White was removed from the Yank staff because of disagreements about articles which had appeared.  Soon afterward, Spence was also assigned to other duties and Joe McCarthy became the editor.
The first issue was published with the cover date of June 17 1942.  The magazine was written by enlisted rank (EM) soldiers with a few officers as managers, and initially was made available only to the US Army overseas.  By the fifth issue of July 15 1942, it was made available to serving members within the US, however it was never made available on the newsstands for public purchase. 
YANK's circulation exceeded 2.5 million in 41 countries with 21 editions.  The last issue was published on December 28 1945.  Joe McCarthy remained the editor of Yank until the official closure of the office on New Year's Eve 1945.
