A painted fantasy-horror backglass framed by a white Celtic-knot border on a black ground. The title Cyclopes sits across the upper centre in large curved serif letters, orange-red with a white outline and drop shadow, one letter formed as a tall white cross, with a white four-pointed starburst behind it. Two one-eyed giants dominate the centre: grey-green muscular skin, bald heads, a single large red eye in the forehead, snarling mouths of white fangs, shaggy red beards. The left giant wears a blue singlet and hoists a small blonde woman in an orange-red dress. The right giant grips a dark-haired woman in a blue bodice and short skirt who leans away with one arm outstretched; a red-brown figure struggles near the right edge. Setting is open green farmland under a blue sky with white clouds, blue-grey mountains on the left, and a village burning with orange and yellow flames on the right. A red pterodactyl-like winged reptile flies at top centre. Empty dark red-brown rectangular score panels with white frames sit in all four corners, each paired with a small black oval disc.
