Johnny Depp is featured among the 150 significant artists who grace the cover of ROLLING STONE’s 1,000th issue, which goes on sale Friday May 5th. The cover, which is printed in 3-D, imitates the famous style of the Beatles’ cover for SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND. You can find Johnny on the far right side, about midway down, above Bono. The picture is from the 2005 Kid’s Choice Awards. To see the cover, click HERE. Thanks to emma and theresa for the news.

The Zone congratulates ROLLING STONE, which published its first issue on November 9, 1967. The magazine has featured Johnny Depp on its cover three times–in 1991; in 1998 for FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS; and in February 2005. Their profiles stand the test of time, and remain among the best journalism ever published on Johnny Depp. ROLLING STONE has also published Johnny Depp’s writing. “A Pair of Deviant Bookends,” his elegiac reminiscence of his friendship with long-time ROLLING STONE journalist Hunter S. Thompson, appeared in the March 24, 2005 issue. Look for the Gonzo fist on the 1,000th-issue cover–it’s blue and near the top left.
