When I went to school I remember reading, what I thought to be, the best PC Magazine available and at nearly £5 an issue it had better be. I got it because my friends did, in the library there used to be some of the back issues and I always remember, this being about 1993-1997, a scruffy illustration of Bill Gates at the back pages of him in a Bond villain type chair with some anecdotal piece to describe the company that Microsoft was back then.
Upon emailing PC Answers directly I attained the name ... and he has a website but the only copies PCA has are archived away in a vault (and not digitised, humph!!!) and as for the illustrator, Jake Abrams, he disposed of all the originals in an attempt to save space, tut!
So, has anybody got any of the old copies of PCA from those dates, I would like to get that section digitised or just a scan of the illustration of Bill. Here is a sample of the type of illustrations I am taking about from the artists own website:

Many thanks in advance.
