widely discussed at the time.
 

Publishers have used inappropriate cover art that they had on hand for
decades. It is possible that you are referring to the first edition of
Lawrence Watt-Evans's _The Unwilling Warlord_ (1989) that used Darrell
Sweet art that was originally done for a Lloyd Arthur Eshbach title
(IIRC, _The Scroll of Lucifer_, released in 1990). This is later than
you specified.
