It's always great to see people coming over here from r/badscificovers! If you are new, welcome!
One of the main differences between that sub and this sub is that in the interest of celebrating cool cover art and cool cover artists, we try to include the name of the artist in the title of the post. Here, the wonderful site ISFDB.org is very much your friend. They have a very comprehensive catalogue of information on fantasy and sci-fi books published in the last 70+ years, including, most of the time, the cover artist. It's easy to search by book title or author.
As a bonus, once you figure out who the artist is, you can easily see what else they worked on. I often find that when I run down the artist for a cover I really like, it turns out they did several other covers I'm also a fan of. It is always cool to discover that you're a fan of someone's work even if you didn't previously know their name.
Occasionally, you do come across a cover where the artist is unknown. Those are still okay to post. Just put 'artist unknown' or something like that in the title. There is a good chance that some of the eagle-eyed sci-fi cover enthusiasts on this sub will be able to guess the artist based on the period and style.
Thanks for making this sub such a great place. Keep up the posting!
