The back cover which has blurbs about the stories in the book along with images of the guest stars. On top of the page (but the middle section of the book) is "The Wondrous World of Dr. Strange", which is the Wand of Watoomb story from Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2 by Steve Ditko, Stan Lee, and Sam Rosen. Next is "The Speedster and the Spider" which was from Amazing Spider-Man 71 and was by Jim Mooney, John Romita, Stan Lee, and Sam Rosen. At the bottom is "A Friend in Need" from Marvel Team-Up 27 and was from Jim Mooney, Jim Starlin, Franklin Giacoia, Glynis Oliver Wein, Len Wein, and John Costanza.

A coffee mug featuring the attack zombie and the brat. The box it arrived in was smashed flat and a cat knocked it off a shelf about six feet off the floor but, like the characters it proudly displays, it remains intact despite the unwarranted abuse it has received.

The back cover of Vol. 1 along with sketches of the Brat and the Zombie, who are also on the back cover. Setter has clearly just relieved somebody of a purse that they couldn't secure and therefore don't deserve and Duane is performing magic. I missed the first Kickstarter all those years ago so I only have two sketches to go with the three volumes and it eats at my very soul.

The cover of Unsounded Vol. 3: Thicker than Water. The brat takes center stage here and is surrounded by magical fish and metallic thorns. The zombie is on the upper right. A young child in winter garb is in the lower left and a crow is at the top of the page.

The cover of Unsounded Vol. 2: The Perils of Civilization. On it, we see the zombie, now in irritated attack mode, the brat, now concerned, another brat (though with white hair), and the other brat's young son, who also has a white hair and is a good kid with excellent character all things considered. This is a scene of a showdown that involves, on one side, insects that are of various sizes and shapes but all of magical origin and on the other somebody that has very strong feelings about insects on account of the whole being a zombie thing.

He looks like he should be having a pint with Andy Capp.

Here's the actual cover but I don't think my copy ever actually had it. Hard to say though since this is the first comic I ever owned. At the very least, I don't remember this cover.
The cover of HDLJW 81; Donald has made the mistake of taking the boys camping and is paying for by being blasted awake by a bugle in each ear while a third nephew looks at his watch. Which nephew? Not a clue but it's not like they had distinct personalities in those days. Side note, my phone apparently hates the word bugles and thinks it should be burlesque instead.
