Great discussion!
Interesting that title changes also sometimes occur with the change of cover art eg I must admit that I would choose 'The Sword of Rhiannon' any day over 'Sea-Kings of Mars etc' simply by virtue of the title.
Having never overly bothered about cover art before (I'd always pick up a dust jacket-less hardcover before something like this), you do know that I will henceforth just HAVE to make a thorough and critical analysis of the cover art of every book that I ever consider purchasing...!
Medusa books - I'd have to go with the Planet Series works. I don't overly like the artwork but I like it better than the Fantasy Masterworks attempt.
Boudica vs Rome - I'd have to agree with joost in that I'd prefer the Boudica covers.
The Sword of Rhiannon - That's definitely a marshmallow angel of death, redchild!
