We're playing around with some different cover compositions. The black box logo was cool, but it also takes up a LOT of cover territory and forces us to make things like author names, introducers, and titles smaller than we'd like, as well as obscuring a lot of art. Especially since we have a few books like this one, Template, and Before They Were Giants coming out that were never published in the pulps, it made more sense to drop the box temporarily and try a more modern look. Personally, I'm super pleased with how this one turned out... just look at that Neversh! But I wouldn't be surprised if the pulp format returned for certain titles.

Actually, I liked the other cover better. Also the other Matthew Hughes cover. They looked more like the old pulps. By calling them 'Planet Stories', you are invoking the old pulps. By throwing a modern cover on the book you lose that feel. I'm also not happy about the missing pages.
