This Photoplay Magazine checklist is a work in progress that will be updated from time to time. NOTE: Updated February 25, 2007 to take us through 1940.

NOTE: Updated August 30, 2006 after discovering that I corrupted the file and the page had been incorrect (my apologies!). I had printed out a correct version of the list that I am now forced to type over by hand. I'm working my way back to Dec. 1959 again, this time with a lot of help from Frank Alice who's plugging in all of our missing issues. Sorry about this, hope to have this page back in action ASAP.

The Photoplay Magazines are sorted by date.

The list was collated from issues that I have handled, eBay listings (both active and completed), eBay Stores listings, abebooks listings, Froogle listings, Google Images, and your suggestions (especially those of Frank Alice, thank you!).

If you have either additions or corrections to this list please complete the form at the very bottom of this page and I'll update the Photoplay Magazine Checklist ASAP. My goal is to post as accurate and complete of a checklist as possible.

These are all U.S. editions. I'm going to stop the list in 1959 because even though Photoplay continued long after that date once we get out of the 1950's the collectibility of these magazines drop off quite a bit.

Acknowledgements:A word of gratitude to the following collectors for submitting their own additions to the list: Frank Alice, Christine Dunagan, Dirk Jakobs (Hommage an Greta Garbo) , Bruce Long

The Photoplay Magazine Checklist organizes the list by date. Following the date is the name of the star featured on the cover, and following the star's name is the name of the illustrator or photographer who created the cover art for that issue (when I could find this information).
