Inside we find the same signed Shalanksy artwork as for the Thomas Salter "Sarlacc Pit" set, although re-edited for the more widescreen format of the PrestoMagiX sets.

The transfer sheet figures are identical, but rearranged. "APC", which appears as a logo on the sheet, stands for "American Publishing Corp" which is a division of Gillette. You will recall that it was Gillette who effectively persuaded Letraset to purchase the Sodecor factory in Italy, to produce Kalkitos transfer sets for Gillette to distribute; PrestoMagiX was Gillette's domestic US equivalent of Kalkitos.
