    Note: There is an alternative image available, not to be confused with this one, where the text spacing differs in two respects: The Forever War starts between the 'O' and 'E' of 'JOE', instead of directly beneath the 'E'. The SF roundel and Masterworks text has been shortened relative to the background aircraft. Compare here.
