eh, I don't see the value in jumping down the throat of an independent artist for making small runs of art pieces that revolve around some contemporary cultural touch-point.
As anyone who's actually tried knows, getting permission to do this stuff is impossible without either a boatload of cash up front, or some well-known artist to 'best represent' the intervening layers of rights holders (ie. media conglomerates) profit expectations.
Sure, if she was making her entire living off this, all the time, perhaps not cool - but really, the peripheral marketing from stuff like this is useful to the publisher, and a small ego-boost to the actual creatives and authors is probably preferable to all concerned.
- Besides which - if you knew how much money 'beloved' illustrators make from unofficial private commissions, your ire would be projected elsewhere...detritus
