Maxim Magazine October 2000 Halle Berry Rebecca Romijn Famke Janssen X-Men SKU 1518

Original UK Maxim Magazine – October 2000, cover price £2.90, featuring Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn and Famke Janssen in a prominent X-Men / “Triple-X” themed cover feature.

This is a strong early-2000s issue of Maxim with a wide mix of celebrity photography, film, humour, fashion, lifestyle, sport, unusual features and interviews. The cover and photographed contents pages show a particularly varied issue with a substantial page count and several recognisable names.

COVER FEATURE – HALLE BERRY, REBECCA ROMIJN & FAMKE JANSSEN

The main cover presentation features Halle Berry centrally, with Rebecca Romijn and Famke Janssen positioned behind her.

The headline reads:

“Triple-X – Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn and Famke Janssen – Meet X-Men’s sensationally shapely mutants”

The contents page further identifies an X-Men related feature on page 104, titled “The Joy Of X”, specifically naming Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and Famke Janssen.

For collectors of X-Men memorabilia, Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn, Famke Janssen, Marvel-era film publicity or early-2000s celebrity magazines, this is a particularly appealing issue.

OTHER NOTABLE CONTENT

The photographed contents pages show a broad range of editorial material, including:

• Halle Berry / Rebecca Romijn / Famke Janssen – X-Men feature – page 104
• James Brown – major feature beginning page 40

• True Crime – page 74

JAMES BROWN FEATURE

One of the more unusual pieces highlighted in this issue is the James Brown feature.
