I agree. I think the main point of similarity is that bird. Of course, the fact that HC took steps to acquire the rights to the other cover does create suspicion.
I would like to know who the artist is for the HC cover, what instructions that artist was given, and whether that artist was specifically shown the earlier artwork.
Anyone remember all the gothic romances from the sixties that showed a woman in flowing gown fleeing from a house with a single light in the window?
