Still relying principally on the dynamics of a large, powerful face for a cover image, Oliver turned his attention to the adventure market. He'd done many illustrations for books dealing with mystery and horror subjects, and since so many adventures featured evil wizards and sorcerers, the character on this cover sprang easily enough to mind. Discussion, however, revealed that Oliver was unhappy with the finished picture because it didn't seem to have any computer relevance. Roger suggested adding the 'what now' cursor to the eye and the visual gag was complete.
