About Colophon

The Colophon in WIRED’s first issue was a list of the hardware and software used to produce the magazine. It mentioned the music too: Seal, k.d. lang, Thelonious Monk. Over the years, Colophon has credited fashion blunders, cheap thrills, and other distractions for helping to get the issue out. Then, in 2007, Colophon was put on ice—and readers raised hell. A few months later, it reappeared. That month’s topic? “Readers who helped get Colophon back.” —Joanna Pearlstein, deputy editor for newsroom standards
