Fingerprint: Grey-blue skinned red-eyed man in yellow domed headdress and purple robes raising splayed hand in wizard pose, blazing red-white orb at chest throwing long orange-yellow rays, "WARLOCK" title arcing across top with cyan blade-swash, magenta nebula ring behind head, cratered moon, seven score reels at bottom, deep black starfield.
The most memorable feature is the enormous cream-and-cyan title WARLOCK arcing across the top, its leading letter trailing a long cyan blade-like swash down past the figure. Beneath it, a grey-blue skinned red-eyed man in a yellow domed headdress raises a splayed hand in a wizard's casting pose while a blazing red-white orb at his chest throws long flat yellow and orange rays across the whole glass. Seven score reels with brightly coloured window panels fill the bottom third, and a magenta nebula ring encircles his head against a dense white starfield.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Man | Waist-up male figure at centre, grey-blue skin, glowing red eyes, dark hair, open shouting mouth; wears a large yellow domed headdress with red curved bands and an ornate purple robe with pink and teal trim; right hand raised beside his head with fingers splayed in a casting gesture; a red-white orb of light bursts from his chest |
Rectangular backglass with a black starfield background scattered with white four-pointed stars. Across the upper right sits the main title in enormous italic serif capitals reading WARLOCK, lettered in a cream-to-pale-yellow gradient with a hard cyan drop shadow and a long thin cyan swash dropping from the first letter. A small red script logo sits at upper left. The centre of the glass is dominated by a single waist-up male figure: a grey-blue-skinned, red-eyed man with dark hair, wearing a large yellow domed headdress banded with red curves, and an ornate purple robe trimmed with pink and teal. He faces the viewer with mouth open as if shouting, right hand raised beside his head with fingers spread in a casting gesture. From his lower chest erupts a brilliant red-white orb throwing out long yellow and orange triangular rays like a starburst. Behind him swirl a magenta nebula ring, a cratered moon behind his head, and a pale blue planet lower right. The lower third is occupied by seven score reels in grey trapezoid housings, with green, teal, green and orange-red window panels.
