Perhaps it could be focused around some of the typefaces used. As for carving - if you aren't up for doing something outside the square, there are plenty of teko, tang, ku, PNG and moai images to be found on these covers, but we've seen all that stuff before. It would be great to see some of the more obscure 50s/60s gems interpreted by the swap artists. Here's a few of my favourites just to get some theme vibe here in the thread:
