To do that cover, you'd need to use layers in CSS, and relative positioning. Bottom layer you have your background image. Next add a layer with the title. Next layer, you'll need the image of the girls, with a transparent background (PNG would work best for this, due to the alpha channel). On top of that, you have another layer, with the various text styles, colors, etc. Special fonts you'd have to include with it, or otherwise the renderer would most likely default the font if the person didn't have that font included on the system (and is why most of the time for special fonts, they just make it an image on the site). The only real issues would be how well the renderer included on the reader supports CSS.
