  Front Covers of The Classic Corps Magazines

A lot of the early magazines used the same cover design and just changed the colour every month. We have only included one of each original cover design. In total there were 180 magazines but only 79 of them had different front covers designs. We have included all 79 original covers on these pages.

   1 - 4   had same cover design but different colour
  8 - 12  had same cover design but different colour
13 - 16  had same cover design but different colour
17 - 61  had same cover design
62 - 99  dark blue/purple cover except for no 64 (21 years of Pioneer Corps which had silver cover)
