Brian Bolland was slated to be the artist for the cover.

From Brian Bolland's Blog: "Unfortunately my artwork for the She-Hulk cover turned up a day late for Marvel Comics. In Marvel's haste to get a cover on this issue, they got someone in the Marvel office to trace over my rough and produce a quick but on-time version of this picture which graced the cover of this issue." (9 October 2011 16:12)

Having promised fans a wraparound cover, Marvel printed the "wraparound cover" (really a poster hand-out) with the intended Bolland art. This extra cover was distributed to stores free to give to fans to "wrap around" their comic book. (Explained in Comic Book Legends #811 by Brian Cronin, 21 July 2021.)
