The Ephemerist has a nice posting of book cover art done by cartoonists as part of the Penguin Deluxe Series: “Not only do these covers immediately jump out as different than all the other book covers you see on the shelves, the cartoonists never even tried to shy away from their trademark style.”

That same posting also has a link to a very innovative cover of Voltaire’s Candide by cartoonist Chris Ware .
