Original cover art color overlays for an issue of Icon owned by Dwayne McDuffie. The overlay is made up of three plastic transparencies of different color taped to a blank, white piece of paper.

The third overlay is red and yellow. When combined the overlays fill in the colors used on the cover. The overlays are connected by a piece of adhesive tape. The illustration is for the cover of Icon #44 and features the character Rocket flying upwards with arms outstretched. She is surrounded by purple smoke. The character named Icon is wearing a green cape and is looking on from a building ledge with his arms crossed. A cityscape is in the background.
