I'm with you. I wish publishers would use the same art as on the vintage covers as opposed to slapping some generic photoshop design on there. I'd be more likely to just buy the reissue instead of searching far and wide for a reasonably-priced, vintage copy in decent condition. I'm sure there are rights issues, but still. I sometimes feel bad that most of my favorite horror authors never get a dime from me, since I'm always buying used instead of new.
