There is some really fantastic cover art out there for numerous books, and most of them are barely acknowledged. Now's the time to give the cover artists some credit. So, what book has the coolest cover?

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.
If we're including magazines, then Playboy is running a close second...

There's an art forum you should check out, although mostly we bash fantasy art in there.
If you want to see some cool art, check out my buddy's stuff at www.geocities.com/u3911468.
I take every opportunity to promote this site, cuz Kawee's a genius.

There's six of them so far and they be Robin Hobbs'- The Farseer Trilogy & The Liveship Traders . I love these covers by John Howe , they are all beautifully illistrated and provide a magical look into Hobbs' world !!!!!!:)

I love the cover of the "Hiiden City" by Keith Parkinson (Del Rey edition). "The First King of Shannara" was also with cover by him.
Both the covers by "A Darkness at Sethanon" are cool.

I would have to say that Lord of the Rings has some of the best covers. Specifically, I refer to any of the covers painted by John Howe, as well as those painted by Tolkien himself (not so amazing artistically, but hey, they were painted by Tolkien!)
I agree that aSoIaF has great covers too.
