This drawing depicts a three-headed, knife-wielding figure on a comic book cover. The central figure appears monstrous with three heads on one body, holding knives. The background is red and black. The figure shows wild expressions and aggressive postures. On the left side, there are four circular insets with different characters or designs, each labeled: "BIG C", "LT. KALI", "TITS," and "GORE." The title "THE LEGION OF CHARLIES" is at the top with a skull icon. The style resembles underground comix.
