A Fallout 4 fan going by the username PlanK-69 has uploaded all the perk magazine art from the game to their DeviantArt page, thus making them available for public eyeball consumption. True, checking out Grognak The Barbarian in real life won't give you a boost to your melee damage output like it does in the game, but they're still pretty to look at.

I'm not going to post all 98 magazine covers here, because as much as I appreciate your company, I want you to have time in your day to … you know, eat and other things that keep you alive. So instead, I've posted some of my personal favorites in the gallery above. If you've got a personal favorite you don't see though, feel free to post it in the comments!

For now though, enjoy the reading material of the future, as imagined by yesterday.
