"Je suis Charlie," says the Prophet on Charlie Hebdo's first cover

The first cover since the killing spree shows that Charlie Hebdo is alive and undeterred by the actions of terrorists

French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo published its first cover since the attacks at its offices a week ago. Determined not to be terrorized, Charlie Hebdo’s staff worked on the latest edition of which over three million copies went to print on Monday night in 16 languages instead of the usual 50,000 copies.

The magazine’s editor Stephane Charbonnier said that killing of 12 people at its offices and continued death threats would not deter the magazine. The new cover of the eight-page edition features a man, possibly the Prophet Mohammed,  wearing a white turban and holding up a sign that reads: “Je suis Charlie.”  The cover cartoon was drawn by cartoonist Luz who survived the massacre where four other cartoonists were killed only because he had arrived late at the office that day.

The satirical magazines depictions of the Prophet Mohammed had allegedly prompted the attacks that resulted in a total of 17 people dead, including those killed outside the Charlie Hebdo offices. The police killed brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi who perpetrated the attack at the magazine’s office as well as their friend Amedy Coulibaly following a murderous spree at a kosher supermarket.
