The cover of The Samurai of Prog – Omnibus-4: The Bernard & Pörsti Sessions features a fantastical, steampunk-inspired scene. At its center, two bearded adventurers in wide-brimmed hats (Bernard & Pörsti) sit on a rocky outcrop, gazing toward a dreamy, castle-filled sky where a UFO floats ominously. Surrounding them are symbolic items, a sword, compass, telescope, and scroll, set atop a wooden table. A cosmic sky bursts in the background. Artwork by Ed Unitsky.
