There is a distinct possibility that this is actually a joke (a bad one, maybe, but a joke nevertheless :). Yes, I saw that they are pre-selling T-shirts featuring that dreaded wolf and baby --yet, no one seems to have actually received one-- and the tour-bus picture... but common sense suggests that no one is stupid enough to mix the excellent hand-drawn image of Eddie and the hooded figures in the background with those poor poser renders. I would, also, like to point out that none of the online stores that pre-sell the album actually displays a cover image (at least not the ones I checked).
