The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 54, “For Woman Wild"" by Grace P. Fong: A woman with fiery red hair has her left hand held out inside the mouth of a bear-shaped spirit. She is wearing a brown dress with a green vest over it, and has a brown belt and a ring of beads around her waist. She's wearing a necklace. The sleeve of the dress is torn slightly on the hand that is inside the bear's mouth. The bear is the same shade of red as her hair. The quote reads: "This was before the jocks become the jocks, before the brains become the brains. Before everyone scatters on the last day of middle school and emerges from the roiling summer waters fully formed, as theater kids or stoners, or preps, skaters, goths."

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 51, “A Murmur of Dragons” by Nilah Magruder: A group of three girls with dark skin are walking along the corridor of what appears to be a castle. They are all wearing a light blue school uniform with pointy hats of that same shade. The girl closest to the viewer is sitting on a golden wheelchair with a fox-like creature on her lap. In the far background, along the blue sky we can see a group of dragons flying together like a flock of birds, and the quote says "Mother named me Yangguang—sunlight. But Father changed it to Yinying—shadow—for robbing his love of her light. But she told me I only brought her light since I was born. Who was lying? Perhaps I was misremembering."

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 53, “A Rest from the Hunt"" by Elaine Ho: a muscular masc centaur with a bare chest and blue horse hide, pointed ears, and long blue hair tied in a ponytail holds a nocked bow in his hands. A femme human with long untied brown hair rides on the saddle wearing a red longcoat with yellow trim, riding pants, and brown boots. The human also has a bow and an arrow nocked and pulled back. Both of them are kissing each other as the white and pale blue clouds and brown earth underneath have lines that imply rapid motion. The quote reads: "Mara followed them inside the house. The house was on the outskirts of town, one of a bewildering array of variously coloured painted homes all tumbling fantastically on top of each other."

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 50, “Sharps and Soft” by Galen Dara: A woman lies on her back, palms open upward as a series of swords surround her. Wings unfurl from her back casting an almost protective shield. On the upper left there is the head of a snake, and scattered throughout the image there are pieces of the snake, blood a bright cyan tinge where the swords have cut through. Her dress is white and behind her a bright white moon is visible, and the quote says "The country was at just over ten thousand deaths the morning that the door appeared. On Kosmo’s phone NPR was interviewing a doctor with a nasal voice about the need for social distancing, while Kosmo himself collected empty cans from around his home office. They were everywhere. Walls of recyclable cans dominated his room."

These consist of several tanks containing alien specimens, the shapes of these tanks vary from square to orbs to rectangles. There is a desert-sand-like feel to the surroundings and in the background the sky is a light amber color, the quote reads: "Mrs. K.’s son’s INData memory chip had been sold off to the highest bidder at $20,000CHD, but no one would tell her to whom it had been sold, much less how she might be able to contact them."

They rose hungrily, searching for a few precious rays of sunlight."

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 55, “The Lotus Flower Gift " by Paul Lewin: The large face of a woman with dark skin has her left hand held out, on her palm sit two people also with dark skin. The boy is wearing a mask and holding out a lotus flower in a bubble as if in offering. The woman is holding up an umbrella to shield them both from the orange sun in the background. A butterfly and a hummingbird are flying by. The quote reads: "During one of the much smaller disasters that preceded the really big disaster, I met a lot of my neighbors online. I can’t remember if we set up the WhatsApp group because of the pandemic or the civil disorder or both."
