It depicts a large crowd of people in front of the courthouse with additional buildings in the background. The crowd consists of reporters, police officers and civilians. Several speech bubbles are above people’s heads in the crowd. Several news and police vehicles are also in front of the courthouse. Written in black ink across the top is “ERUPTiON!” Both pages are signed and inscribed on the back.
