A December 17, 1984 year-end issue of Us magazine signed by Michael Jackson on the front cover. Published during the extraordinary cultural impact of the Thriller era, the issue features Jackson prominently in performance beneath the headline "STAR-SPANGLED 1984", together with the cover line "The 300 faces who made it a thriller."

Jackson's autograph appears prominently across the light blue portion of the cover beside his image. The visible signature displays the fluid, highly abbreviated construction associated with his autograph, including an enlarged looping initial movement, compressed connected letter forms through the center, and a sweeping terminal extension. Its energetic execution complements the performance photograph and gives the cover a particularly strong display quality.

The December 1984 publication date is especially appealing from a memorabilia perspective, placing the magazine directly within Jackson's defining Thriller-era period rather than representing a later retrospective publication. The combination of a contemporary 1984 magazine, prominent Michael Jackson cover imagery, and a large autograph directly on the cover creates a cohesive piece of popular-music history.
