Bono illustration of Volodymyr Zelensky features on magazine cover
In the piece running online now under the headline The Counteroffensive, Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum and its editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg argue that “now is the moment for the United States and the western world to help Ukraine launch its counteroffensive, take back Crimea, and win the war”.
Bono’s cover illustration includes a quote from Zelensky’s interview in which he says the “choice is between freedom and fear”., Goldberg details how the collaboration with Bono came to pass. “Not long ago, [Bono] told me that he sometimes redesigned and reimagined Atlantic covers on his iPad. I was, as you might imagine, curious about this hobby,” Goldberg said.
“I asked to see his sketches. They were very good. I suggested that he make an actual Atlantic cover. Zelensky, a man we both admire, was a natural subject for his first go.” The Atlantic editor noted that, like Applebaum, “Bono is preoccupied with issues of freedom and dignity, and, working with Oliver Munday, our associate creative director, he made a stunning cover that captures the resolve of Ukraine’s wartime president.”
