Cover gallery
The retailer's incentive A cover was unusual for IDW, but it's hard to illustrate in a static photo. It featured the exterior of the TARDIS split down the middle. When the reader pulled open the doors it revealed the interior TARDIS scene pictured below was the "RIA cover". In essence, the cover was "bigger on the inside".
