Art by Don Ivan Punschatz

Artwork for JEFFY IS FIVE by HARLAN ELLISON The title "JEFFY IS FIVE" is prominently centered at the top in a large, vibrant, red, hand-drawn font. In the upper left, "HARLAN ELLISON reads" appears in a smaller, clean, red, sans-serif font. The cover, illustrated by Don Ivan Punschatz, features a high-contrast, black-and-white illustration with sharp red accents. The scene depicts a young child leaning over a table, gazing directly at the viewer with large, expressive eyes. The child rests their chin on their left hand while gripping a bright red marker over an open coloring book. Rendered in stark white and grey tones, the child's skin and clothing emphasize texture and fabric folds. The foreground coloring book contains black-and-white comic panels, one clearly displaying the text "JEFFY IS FIVE." At the book's bottom edge, "UTOPIA" is printed in a bold, blocky font. Scattered on the table are grey markers and a small, dark, indistinct object. To the left, a white candle features a black cartoon picture of Mickey Mouse; a shadowed container is partially visible to the right. Dramatic, directional lighting creates piercing white highlights on the child's face and the book's edge against a deep, void-like black background. Behind the child, is a grey, curved, old-fashion tube-type radio. The entire composition is encased within a thick, solid red border.
