Current publication with extremely egregious pictures (6)
I believe the answer is:
images
'pictures' is the definition.
(I know this)
'current publication with extremely egregious' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'publication' becomes 'mag' (abbreviation for magazine).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'extremely' suggests removing the centre (only the extremes of the word are used).
'egregious' with its centre taken out is 'es'.
'i'+'mag'+'es'='IMAGES'
(Other definitions for images that I've seen before include "Semblances" , "Representations or reflections" , "Reflections in a mirror" , "Likenesses or mental pictures" , "These doubles could be spitting" .)
