Time Warp was a science fiction anthology series published by DC Comics in 1979 and 80. Each 64-page issue had stories by seasoned pros and newcomers alike, and we can all wish that anthology books were still a regular staple in comics today. All five issues had fantastic covers by Michael Wm Kaluta, including this one for No. 5, July 1980.
Here it is with new colour.

Wonderful stuff. Thanks for sharing so many phases of this beautiful cover. I happen to have the Brazilian edition of the same magazine (here called simply Ficção Científica – Science Fiction in Portuguese), though this Kaluta art was used in issue #3. The Brazilian publisher was EBAL. Your post taught me a lot about the magazine, thank you!
De nada, Roberto.
