During its history, on six occasions, "Time" has released a special issue with a cover showing an X scrawled over the face of a man or a national symbol. The first "Time" magazine with a red X cover was released on May 7, 1945, showing a red X over Adolf Hitler's face. The second X cover was released more than three months later on August 20, 1945, with a black X (to date, the magazine's only such use of a black X) covering the flag of Japan, representing the recent surrender of Japan and which signaled the end of World War II. Fifty-eight years later, on April 21, 2003, "Time" released another issue with a red X over Saddam Hussein's face, two weeks after the start of the Invasion of Iraq. On June 13, 2006, "Time" printed a red X cover issue following the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in a U.S. airstrike in Iraq. The second most recent red X cover issue of "Time" was published on May 2, 2011, after the death of Osama bin Laden. As of 2021, the most recent red X cover issue of "Time" features a red X scrawled over the year 2020 and the declaration "the worst year ever".
