Cover Description

The cover shows a white, blonde white woman looking mildly shocked or afraid to the middle distance. She is wearing a blue gown or suit cut like a swimsuit with matching gloves and a gold arm band. Her head is encased in a glass bubble space helmet and she holds a red ray gun. Partially wrapped around the woman is a yellow creature, also looking shocked. The creature seems able to float and has only two front arms with three clawed fingers; its mouth is jagged and it has identifiable nose and two eyes, something vaguely canine to the features. In the bottom right corner, a brunette man in a red full space suit with bubble helmet shoots a ray gun towards something out of sight, looking angry.
