Total Film Magazine Goes Retro Cool with Swingin’ 60s X-MEN FIRST CLASS Covers

The June issue of Total Film magazine hired advertising icon Salvatore Romano to conjure some vintage flair for a special X-Men First Class feature. The magazine features a normal cover as well as three different retro covers, each showcasing one of the film's stars. You've already zeroed in on January Jones as Emma Frost, but once you've set down the smelling salts you'll notice a debonair Michael Fassbender as the magnetic Erik Lehnsherr and an illustration of James McAvoy as Charles Xavier. Check 'em out, courtesy of Starcasm.

 

These might be too classy for the powder room. 

X-Men First Class hits theaters on June 3rd.

    Love the retro covers, so they seem to be doing a lot right with this movie.

    All of the retro covers are great, but what stands out to me most is that on the Mags cover, they’ve managed to capture that sort of authentic photographic image quality that came with the limitations of print technology of the time. Look at any old National Geographic from that era to see what I mean. Very cool from a graphic design standpoint.

  5. @janoscd- I agree, really well done.

    surprised at the white queen costume i gotta say, thought they’d cover her up more, if she dressed like that more often, Don Draper would never have cheated 

  6. I want that Magneto cover as a poster.

    Super awesome covers 
    The syle angle of this movie is playing well.

    Just hoping that the story backs it up more than I suspect.(still  irked by Emma being in this)

    Sexy.

  16. Magneto’s cover reminds me of the greatest commercial ever with Bruce Campbell selling Old Spice.

  17. Matrix Matrix says:

    I haven’t been paying attention, but are there two Emma Frosts? One from wolverine and one in this movie? okay then.

  18. RaceMcCloud RaceMcCloud says:

    Anyone else notice that the standard cover, the Xavier cover, and the Magneto cover are from June (2011 and 1962, respectively), but the Emma Frost cover is dated January?

    Nyuk, nyuk…

  19. @matrix- probably best you just ignore the wolverine movie.
