This is a drawing of a comic book cover depicting humanoid figures. The cover features large, bold lettering at the top with "Big Ass Comics" in vibrant colors such as orange and red against a blue background. Below the title, there is an illustration of muscular creatures wearing tight clothing, with exaggerated proportions and purple, bird-like faces, flanking an elongated character in the center. Surrounding these figures are various text elements, including the title "Eggs Ackley Among the Vulture Demonesses." The artist's name, "R. Crumb," is in the bottom right corner.
