Illuminated backglass with a grey-green painted border frame. Top left carries a horizontal row of mechanical score reels in a dark window, with small printed instruction text on a pale panel directly above them and a small dark maker plate below. The title TORPEDO! sits at the upper right in large slanted block capitals, orange-red with a heavy black outline, over a bursting orange explosion. The illustration is a wartime naval scene: at left a fair-skinned man in a khaki naval officer uniform with a peaked cap and dark tie leans forward, one arm outstretched and pointing down-range, mouth open as if shouting. At bottom centre a dark-haired woman in a bright orange-red outfit turns toward him, one arm raised. Behind them the deck and railings of a warship run as strong diagonal lines across a dark blue and teal night background. Lower left is a green instruction panel with small lettering.

Square comic-book backglass in a navy-warm palette. Top left has two cream arrow labels reading EURO and FLIP, flanking a small white plaque with a globe emblem. Below sits a recessed mechanical score window, six reels reading 076.200, framed in white and dark blue. The right third is a huge orange-red sky panel where TORPEDO!! slants upward in yellow block capitals outlined black, over a blue-grey smoke plume and a starburst explosion. Left and below is a submarine interior: dark blue-green riveted hull plating, round gauges, valve wheels and a periscope-like tube. Three officers on the deck: a khaki captain in a peaked cap with a gold anchor, mouth open in a shout, holding a small device aloft; in front of him a red-haired man in a tan jacket with large round headphones, crouching and pointing; at right a slim woman in a glossy scarlet catsuit, white belt and blue-and-white flight helmet, one arm thrown up at the explosion. Green stylised waves fill the lower right over a pale blue-grey deck. Lower left, a console strip reads BALL IN PLAY in white capitals on green, above five coloured round lamps.
