Concorde had the pilot's window covered by a panel in flight; maybe there is such a panel, but not currently in take-off position (though admittedly the seam isn't showing).

They've got tiny little winglets, not GIGANTIC up-swept wings. I thought the same thing as others here, and while it's a nitpick to kick at an artist's impression of a '50's-style lifting body, that thing looks positively cartoonish! Which, uh, I guess kinda makes sense in a comic...

Maybe the wings themselves move, and we don't see the joints because the wing is covered in a flexible proprietary polymer designed to wick away heat and space radiation?
