I've always felt a little jilted when the art on the cover of a comic book didn't match the interior. I'm a little more forgiving with anthologies that don't have a dominant artist. Many times a publisher will hire a fantastic cover artist that is light years ahead of the artist drawing the actual book. I've always liked it when my favorite artists are able to paint the covers of the books they are drawing. I consider them more "artistic" if they can pull that off. In 1997 I particularly appreciated when artists like Brian Stelfreeze and Tony Harris did that. If you look at Flash Trotter covers, I still feel the same way.
