The magazine is on the floor next to the skeleton.

Issue #02 Anchor - Thicket Excavations  

If you want an anchor emblazoned on your forehead, you're in luck.

Issue #10 Eagle's Nest - Concord Civic Access

A majestic eagle tattooed onto your throat is no longer the stuff of dreams.

Travel to the Museum of Freedom in Concord.

Follow the stairs down to the catwalk at the bottom and go down the stairs straight ahead.

Enter the room on the left.

The magazine is on the floor next to the steamer trunk.

Issue #12 Skulls Are Hip!! - Irish Pride Industries

Irish Pride Industries is to the north of the Boston area.

Board the boat inside the warehouse.

Enter the main cabin.

The magazine is on the table.

Issue #16 Sailor - Vault 81

Vault 81 is to the west of Diamond City.

Head downstairs and into the Atrium.

The Barbers is to the left.

Take a look at the metal table along the right wall.
