Each month along the way since our inception, SLUG print-issue covers have represented the undulations of Salt Lake City’s and Utah’s local creative communities and the impressions of musical phenomena from the reaches of the world. In this, our 30th Anniversary Edition’s “30-Year Cover Retrospective,” we’ve selected a cover from each year of the magazine’s existence. If you have a favorite issue or cover from SLUG’s storied history, our archive issues can be found on SLUGMag.com at SLUGMag.com/issues.
