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.
