I'm tempted to cry "false advertising" on that.  Loiosh is
*not* a dragon, and I can't see calling those covers "new 
art".  And if you're wondering why only those covers, its 
because those are the only Brust covers that artist has done.
(Stephen Hickman has done five, and the remaining two were
done by different people.)
