Put the collection of covers you have for a book into rar file e.g. sunalsorises.rar, rename the file to sunalsorises.cbr
You can avoid the rename if you use WinRAR, it will allow the file extension to be overtyped when creating the file - ie you can overtype sunalsorises.rar with sunalsorises.cbr.
Add the sunalsorises.cbr file to the Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway book in your library (drag/drop into Book Details will work)
If you check Preferences->Use internal viewer for CBR you can read the book with the calibre viewer.
But you may prefer to use a dedicated CBR viewer, I have a very simple one named CBR Reader, I'm sure there will be some better ones - see attachment
Doesn't do all you want, but it does at least get all the covers for a book into to the book folder in an accessible form
You can delete sunalsorises.cbr because its in your library

Thank you this is closer to what i need saves me having to re download a different book cover every time i wish to convert book into a different format (if i can use the comic book format to get the image from to change the book cover) I dont have any comic book formats yet so i can use this for the time being.
Thank you
EDIT: Its not letting me pick which pages i wish for the cover like it does for the pdf format when you select the format and click use cover from format it only uses the first pages.
Is there something i need in order to let me pick the pages i wish to use as a cover in the comic book format?

My method assumed you wanted the cover IN the book (and not Calibre)
His method assume you only want cover stored in Calibre (but not the book)
What do you assume

Yes i wish to store all the covers in calibre not in the book. I like each book format to have a different book cover if available.
Thank you both for your help and suggestions.
