Yes, definitely. The magazine was a source for your paper.
I know how to cite the ARTICLE from a magazine, but I'm not sure how I would cite only the cover in MLA format. Could you help me?
If you can find the designer of the cover, put that first. If that's not listed in the fine print about editors, etc., then start with the title of the periodical and for pages, use Cover.

I just checked the September 5 issue of Time and found this on page 1.
"On the cover: Photograph by Platon."
