The background is predominantly black, with speckles of light indicating a deep space setting scattered with stars. The space suit includes cables and equipment.

  • This is a drawing of a comic book cover titled "Tales from the Plague." The artwork contains a series of unsettling and macabre images arranged on a bold, pink background. The title "Tales from the Plague" is prominently displayed in large, gothic black letters at the top of the cover. Below the title, there are several illustrated panels depicting various scenes: a shadowed figure with intense eyes peering through bars, a sinister figure wielding a knife, and a person bound to a wooden device. Additionally, there are small groups and individuals engaging in mysterious or ominous activities, including one scene where a figure is presiding over smoke or fire. The color scheme predominantly uses red, black, and yellow tones. The words "50 cents" are displayed near the bottom of the cover, and two yellow circular emblems on the upper corners read "A Weirdom Publication."
