Full description

A wide, horizontally banded science-fiction backglass. The upper two-thirds is a space scene on a black starfield sprinkled with small white stars: two silver delta-wing rocket craft with swept-back fins and red tail-flame trails fly diagonally upward from the left towards centre. Behind them a huge banded planet dominates the centre-right, its limb striped in horizontal bands of orange, red, yellow and pink, ringed by a black shadow crescent. A small pale blue planet sits in the upper right corner. Overlapping the planet is a grey-and-white mechanical robot or spacecraft nose with a large circular chrome porthole and a rounded, riveted head. Bottom right, a bust-length hero figure wears a white helmet with a red brow stripe and a blue visor slit, long gold-blond hair spilling from under the helmet, a bright red neck scarf and a gold shoulder piece, looking out to the left. The lower third is a rounded-rectangle nameplate: SPACE in white outlined capitals on red at left, TEAM in white capitals on pink-magenta at right, split by white vertical pinstripes, all framed by a blue square-tile grid border.
