        No, the only layer of "clothing" she's losing is space armor, and
that's only just started to happen on the cover.

        The silly artist didn't draw the part where she's half-nekkid!

Is this the same artist who's doing the John and Lobo covers?

        The artist is Stephen Hickman. He's done a lot of covers over the
years, some of which I remember very fondly. I love this one.

        Bob Eggleton is doing the cover for Threshold, BTW, and it looks gorgeous.
