Yep that was well spotted indeed, I just checked the backs of both books and it states
Cover Illustration: Steve Stone.
As DHG came out well before Straken (albeit not so long ago for the US market) it would be interesting to know what input Terry Brooks if any had in the cover art i.e did DHG inspire the Straken art work or did the illustrator feel he was on a winner with no reason to change too much? Of course we must remember that both stories take place in a kind of desert style wasteland, so it's not totally uncanny but still intriguing. Naturally that's about where the comparisons begin to diverge exponentially IMHO..
