Magazine cover titled "MECHANICA" in bold, blocky sans-serif, above "HET MAGAZINE OVER KUNST, TECHNOLOGIE & ONDERGROUND", with smaller text "Machines. Mythen. Mensen. Het laatste woord over legendes die echt zijn." at the top left and "NR. 31 MEI 1979 f 2,95 / Bfr 60" at the top right.

On the left side, "SON OF CHAINSAW" is prominently displayed in large, yellow, distressed letters, followed by "HALF MAN. HALF MACHINE. HELEMAAL LEGENDE. HET VERHAAL ACHTER HET PAN
