(PARAMUS, NJ) -- Magna Publishing Group, the premier publisher of men’s magazines, is proud to announce that Wicked Picture’s contract superstar Stormy Daniels will be featured on the cover of the May 2008 issue of Genesis Magazine currently on sale on newsstands world wide.

This is the first time that Daniels will be making an appearance on the cover of Genesis, and Editor-in-Chief Dan Davis talked about what having Stormy Daniels on the cover of Genesis means to the long-standing title. ''It’s no secret that Genesis has always kept its name synonymous with the biggest stars in adult entertainment. Stormy is truly one the industry’s superstars, so it’s a perfect fit and an honor to have her on our cover.''

Along with her cover appearance, Stormy is also featured in a steamy 11-page hardcore sex pictorial shot by Thomas Rifter of Suze Randall Productions. The Mardi Gras themed layout has Stormy doing some celebrating of her own with up and coming male star, Justin Magnum.

Over her six-year career in the adult industry, Stormy has starred in countless best-selling hits for Wicked Pictures, as well as serving as one of the industry’s top directors and screenwriters, and being one of the premier feature dancers on the gentlemen’s club circuit today. Her hit Operation Desert Stormy was one of the year’s biggest releases and she recently took home the AVN Award as the Best Crossover Star for the second year in a row, thanks to appearances in Hollywood hits such as Blades of Glory, Superbad, and Knocked Up, as well as in the cable show ''Dirt'' and Maroon 5’s video for ''Wake Up Call.''

The May 2008 issue of Genesis also marks the 50th issue with top adult icon Tera Patrick as the magazine’s publisher. Patrick debuted as the publisher in the May 2004 issue of Genesis, and her pictorials and ''Teravision'' column has since become a staple of the magazine.

On the subject of this being her 50th issue with Genesis, the gorgeous superstar said, ''When I first came in the business I shot for every adult magazine. It was exciting as I believe that print is such an important facet of the media, especially for creating star power. You can watch all the porn you want on the web, but there is still something to say for the tangible printed photos of sexy women. Magazine will always be popular, but I am just glad to be able to call Genesis my home. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Magna Publishing Group for all their support and Genesis Editor and close personal friend Dan Davis for believing in me from the beginning. Also, thanks to my good friend Stormy for helping me celebrate this monumental occasion!''

Tera has also appeared on the cover of Genesis a record smashing 10 times since she entered the industry and her issues continually are the top-selling editions of the year, much like her chart-topping movies.

''We couldn’t have picked a better star to work with than Tera. She epitomizes what Genesis is all about —beauty, heat and featuring nothing but the top stars in adult. She helped re-launch our magazine and it’s been nothing but incredible since she signed on with us!'' Davis added about Tera.

This special issue also features pictorials with Casey Parker, Ashley Jensen, Jessica Lynn, Micah Moore, Candy Manson and more stars, as well as a behind the scenes look at the making of SexZ Pictures’ award-winning hit Upload, interviews with Joanna Angel and Trina Michaels, and an apropos feature article about porn stars who have crossed over to mainstream media.
