October was a cover done by a new artist, Ken Copel, showing an astronaut on the Moon talking on a phone with Earth in the background.

The American flag is planted firmly on the Moon's surface, while a copy of 2600 lies on the ground.  (The issue is apparently the present one as the colors seem to line up.)

Some people thought the ground was actually a collection of our signatures, but we can assure you that wasn't the case.

The mini-cover was actually a shrunken image of an advertisement from a British newspaper showing an elderly man whose main worry in life seemed to be the cost of funeral expenses.  We fell in love with the fear mongering instantly.
