Life magazine, stylized
LIFE, was an American magazine that ran weekly from 1883 to 1972, published initially as a humor and general interest magazine.
Time founder
Henry Luce bought the magazine in 1936, solely so that he could acquire the rights to its name, and shifted it to a role as a weekly news magazine with a strong emphasis on
photojournalism.
Life was published weekly until 1972, as an intermittent "special" until 1978, and as a monthly from 1978 to 2002.
