Ultimately, Moorcock agreed to be a part of the project, and Klaw selected one of his Elric short stories (from the "Earl Aubec" collection). Steve Bissette was invited to create a cover for the anthology, a daunting task for a project which contained "23 stories by 56 different creators, all with different styles and subject material". Bisette's cover proved popular, but not ideal for "Weird Business", so Dave Dorman (cover artist for multiple Star Wars and Aliens comics - including, the Stoker Award-winning "Aliens: Tribes" by S. Bissette) was contacted, and produced sketches deemed more suitable to the project.
