Google Digitizes Spy Magazine

Cult Classics

Pioneering publication closed in 1998.

Spy magazine is dead, long live pixels! The satirical magazine ran from 1986 to 1998, becoming famous for its edgy content, launching the careers of dozens of journalists, and making founders Graydon Carter and Kurt Andersen journalism stars.
