Cosmic Princess publicity photos, thanks to Mark Shaw. This is the colour card, with the tag line "An Alien Beauty Hiding A Beast Within!". Note the Cosmic Princess logo completely obscures the images of Landau and Bain (see below), with the laser beam appearing from nowhere.

The back of the card describes the movie: A beautiful alien princess with the power with the power to change at will into any living creature comes to the aid of Moonbase Alpha when the runawy space outpost is lured to a bizarre and deadly planet.

The publicity artwork is clearly based on publicity photographs, including the pose of Catherine Schell with the alien heads also seen here. A very shapely Maya has sprouted wings. Four of Mentor's spaceships zooms over Koenig (who has a red sleeve) and Helena, who clutches him. Helena sits at Koenig's waist height. On the lunar surface, a Psychon overseer fights two astronauts.

Photo text: Catherine Schell stars as Maya, the Cosmic Princess, who can transform herself into the two depicted monsters through the powers of molecular transformations.
