If the gunmen that attacked Charlie Hebdo last week thought they could destroy the satirical magazine, they are about to be proven wrong 3 million times over.

Charlie Hebdo revealed its cover image for this week's issue, to be printed after two gunmen opened fired on the magazine's Paris office, killing 10 of its journalists and cartoonists.

Relying on a skeleton staff, Charlie Hebdo will again take on extremism, politicians and social conventions in its usual satirical style.

The cover shows the prophet Mohammed holding an "I Am Charlie" sign below the words "all is forgiven." Three million copies of the magazine will be printed Wednesday. Normally 60,000 copies are circulated each week.

For the first time the magazine will be printed in languages other than French. English will be among them.

The content will be created only by the remaining employees of Charlie Hebdo. Contributions from other cartoonists were declined but the newspaper Liberation lent space to Charlie Hebdo's staff.
