There’s one thing that the publisher of Rolling Stone magazine and its advertiser partners want readers to remember about a coming special issue — that it’s big, with a capital B.

The magazine, published by Wenner Media, will return to its size of 10 by 11 3/4 inches, from its current size of around 8 by 11 inches, for a special issue that ships to subscribers on May 11. Titled “The Big Issue,” it will celebrate big names in pop culture and include advertising exclusively by the Turner Broadcasting networks TNT and TBS.

The rock band Metallica will grace the issue’s cover, and inside readers will find a letter from the Rolling Stone publisher, Matt Mastrangelo. “It’s time to set your phasers on ‘massive’ ” Mr. Mastrangelo writes. “Blockbuster movies! Monster dance parties! Rock festivals! And, of course J.R. Ewing!”

Fourteen ads will run in the issue, promoting coming and existing TNT shows including “Franklin & Bash” and “Rizzoli & Isles,” and a new version of “Dallas.” There are also ads for “Conan” on TBS, and for two new series on that network, “Men at Work” and “Sullivan and Sons.”
