The back cover and front cover of the Disney twenty-three publication for Spring 2025 are shown side by side. The back cover, on the left, depicts Sam Wilson in his Captain America garb, seen from the right side, his head bowed and the Captain America shield on his right arm. Red Hulk is reflected in the shield, and the red and white stripes of the American flag appear to be fluttering in the background. The front cover, on the right, depicts two characters from the live-action reimagining of Snow White. The Evil Queen, portrayed by Gal Gadot, is on the left in her blue and crimson crown and deep blue robe with a high collar. She is smiling slightly at the viewer. On the right is Rachel Zegler as Snow White, in her iconic gown with puffy red and blue Sleeves. She is glancing to the left, in the direction of the Evil Queen, and holding a shiny red apple in her right hand, neck high, as if about to take a bite. Both characters are seen from the chest up. Behind the queen is a dark forest. Behind Snow White is a bright forest scene with cute animals and the entrance to a cottage.
