A painted card-and-court backglass with a warm cream and pale butter-yellow background broken by pale blue arch shapes. Across the upper third runs a dark navy-black horizontal band containing a row of small white rectangular windows printed with black numerals. On and above that band sit two oversized dice, a pink-lavender die with black pips and a cream die with black pips, plus a fanned spray of coloured playing cards at upper left. Below are five human court figures: a seated crowned king at lower left in a gold crown and purple-and-red robe, three standing crowned ladies in white-and-gold tall crowns and red, white and purple diamond-patterned gowns, and a woman at far right in a purple head-dress holding a black-and-white striped baton or staff. A jester in a red, blue and yellow costume with a plumed cap appears at the extreme top-left corner. Card suit pips, card corners and a large fan of red and black spades and hearts decorate the lower right. The title lettering reads 3 Jokers in red script and outlined pale blue-white block capitals, slanted and stacked at the lower right, with a smaller cursive word above it. Flat brightly coloured cartoon illustration with heavy black outlines and no shading.

A row of royal playing-card monarchs in flat comic art — a black-bearded king in left profile wearing a jewelled gold crown, and two white-bearded crowned kings in red and pink robes at the right. The title is split across two wildly different treatments: small arched red capitals stacked above enormous pale-blue slab-serif letters. A long dark-red staff with a ball finial runs up the entire left edge, and a black band of card ranks crosses the upper third.

Flat, brightly-coloured cartoon card-king illustration on a cream/white field. A black horizontal band runs across the upper third, carrying a row of small white-outlined card-rank symbols; behind and below it sit mustard-brown arch shapes and a magenta-purple area. Four royal figures crowd the frame: at the left edge a cropped figure in a pink-and-red robe gripping a dark red staff topped with a ball; beside them a king in left profile with a black beard, gold crenellated crown set with red cabochons, and a red-and-white collar; at right a seated bearded king in a red robe with gold trim and a tall gold crown; and at the far right a second crowned, white-bearded figure in a pink-and-white robe with a red diamond on the chest. A white chess-queen-like silhouette sits top left. The main title sits low and right of centre: arched red letters with white and black outline above very large pale-blue slab-serif capitals. Style is flat comic-cartoon with heavy black keylines and no shading.
