Is it? Aside from one short story, I have never read anything by Piers Anthony, so I'm not quite sure in what way this is apropriate.
The Planet Stories line consists mostly of reprints of very old fantasy and SF books and their covers are completely lacking any kind of sublety. I think it's kind of refreshing. (Note to self: must immediatly pick up a copy of The Anubis Murders.)
Anyway, by now I've actually read The Dark World and I have to admit the story wasn't quite as much fun as the cover art. Never judge a book by its cover, isn't that what they say? But it's still a very important marketing tool...
