The covers for this volume featured visual representation of various forms of censorship.

Spring

The Spring cover focused primarily on the (((Arab Spring))), specifically the unfolding events in Egypt, where unsuccessful attempts had been made to disconnect the population from the Internet and quell the rebellion.

The pictured sticker on the cover is in the shape of Egypt, illustrating red, white, and black RJ45 Ethernet jacks being unplugged from the globe.

Andrew Jackson (from a 20 dollar bill) appears on plywood with his mouth padlocked shut.  The lock has the logo of OpenLeaks, a site formed in response to WikiLeaks.

Below that is a logo from the Film Censorship Board of Thailand which forbids admittance to anyone under the age of 20.

On the masthead is a scrap of paper with the 2600 "Blue Box" t-shirt diagram and an iconic image of a woman kissing an Egyptian liberator.

Finally, the logo of the "Comics Code Authority" appears in a keyhole in the upper right-hand corner.  That organization had been responsible for censoring comics in the United States since 1954 and had finally reached the end of its life at the time this issue was published.
