You are an artist/designer. You have to put together the cover for a comic called MISTY.
MISTY was a British comic for girls.
It included stories such as (and I'm making none of this up, the 70s and 80s in Britain were nightmarish):
Moonchild - Rosemary Black possesses the power of telekinesis, like her grandmother before her, as shown by a crescent moon on her forehead. Her harsh mother is jealous of the power and forbids Rosemary to use it - but temptation is getting stronger against the bully who picks on Rosemary...

Whistle and I'll Come - a ghost dog companion.
The Four Faces of Eve - Eve Marshall is trying to unravel her true identity, but she seems to be the bits and pieces of four dead women.
The Cult of the Cat - Nicola Scott is destined to become a member of a cult who worship the Egyptian cat goddess Bast.
The Sentinels - Two empty tower blocks connect our world with a parallel world where Hitler conquered Britain in 1940.
Screaming Point! - the public hangman is also a resurrectionist who believes he can bring the dead back to life.
Winner Loses All - Sandy sells her soul to the Devil to save her alcoholic father.
