Many comic book publishers believe that the cover of a comic needs to be very compelling in order to attract the eye of the casual buyer. As a result of this, artists tend to spend more time with the design and creation of the cover than with any other single image in the book. As a result of that, the original art for the cover of a comic tends to be highly sought after in comic collecting circles. And, finally, as a result of that, covers tend to be more expensive than the other pages of a comic book.
