content: Original cover art overlays for an issue of Icon owned by Dwayne McDuffie. The overlay is made up of four plastic transparencies of different color taped to a blank, white piece of paper. Each overlay has the cover illustration. The top overlay is black and outlines the drawing in black. The second overlay is blue. The third overlay is red. The fourth overlay is yellow. When combined the overlays fill in the colors used on the cover. The overlays are connected by a piece of adhesive tape. The image is for the cover of Icon #43 and features the characters named Rocket and Icon. Rocket is standing in front of Icon and is smiling. She is wearing a red jacket and headband. Icon is grimacing and showing his teeth and has his hands outstretched. He is wearing a green cape. In the top left corner is the DC Comics logo, Milestone Media logo, issue number and price. At the top center of the page is [OUR 250TH MILESTONE ISSUE! / ICON / SPECIAL COVER BY MOEBIUS]. Text on left side of the cover reads [MCDUFFIE / BRIGHT / TANGHAL]. The top overlay has several handwritten inscriptions concerning the layout of the cover.
