In many cases, the final art may not be available yet. (That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve had several posts lately showing you the new cover appearing for my book.) If anything, this is probably more likely to happen with a comic book specialty publisher. Their product is generally mainly aimed at the comic book stores, with a very different distribution system that works with much shorter lead times. I regularly show you covers on Amazon for books that are nine months or so from release, and a comic book collection cover may not even have started being drawn at that point. What Kaboom does here, which they have also done in the past, is use a Peanuts cover image that they already have as a placeholder. In this case, they offered an image of an alternative cover for Peanuts 17&#8230; which is not one of the issues included in this collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AAUGH Blog reader Jon raises this question about Peanuts Volume 5: &#8220;Why is the cover art posted on Amazon different than what you have in your blog?
