Footnote: Ashley Wood's cover for this issue was rejected by Hasbro, and replaced with a retro-art cover using artwork from the story.
Neither IDW Publishing nor Ashley Wood have revealed what the cover looked like, but one of the mini-prints packaged with the 1-in-100 incentive cover (below to the right) has artwork that appears to be Wood's work. It seems likely that this is the original artwork for cover A.

Footnote: According to the solicitations Ashley Wood was supposed to do a cover for this issue as well, but for undisclosed reasons it was replaced with a retro-art cover using artwork from the story.
Unlike the case with issue # 4 above, none of the mini-prints packaged with the 1-in-100 incentive cover had artwork appearing to be Wood's work, so it's possible he never completed any cover art for the issue.
