Hubertus Foerster’s German translation of Georges Arnaud/Henri Girard’s Le Salaire de la Peur (The Wages of Fear), the basis of both Henri-Georges Clouzot’s film of the same name and William Friedkin’s Sorceror, published by (East) Berlin’s Verlag Tribüne.

The illustration is by Klaus Vonderwerth and the printing performed by the Grafischer Großbetrieb Völkerfreundschaft Dresden, but no designer is credited. The title and author are set in Maxima, the logotype of the series uses the a from Motter Ombra.

The same illustration was used already in 1979, with different typography. The cover design with Maxima and Ombra was introduced in 1981 (the shown copy is from 1985).
