Narrative independence of this story from the main series allowed me to infuse more playful colors and elements inspired by both the show and the story. A notable element retained from the main series was the incorporation of quotes, embedded as a blind spot gloss within the colorful panels.
Cover below by Miguel Mercado represents a limited edition variant, distinguished by a unique style diverging from the main one. My approach extended to mirroring this distinct aesthetic on the back cover, where I also used a blind spot gloss technique on all the objects featured, revealing itself only at specific angles. This not only adds a touch of exclusivity but also introduces a dynamic visual element that engages viewers with the cover from different perspectives.
