The cover is in the public domain in the United States for the same reasons that apply to File:Jaws 1st edition 1975.jpg, which the US Copyright Office ruled is public domain. See File:Jaws illustration copyright decision.pdf.

There are no copyright notices on the cover. There is only one copyright notice inside the book: "COPYRIGHT © 1977 BY RICHARD BACHMAN". Note that Richard Bachman is a pen name of Stephen King, the author of the literary work Rage (1977).

The book is not a composite/collective work such that Stephen King's copyright notice applies to the cover.

Furthermore, even if a copyright notice inside the book applies to the cover art, King is not the name of the proprietor of the cover nor a name by which the proprietor is generally known. King is neither an assignee of the cover nor a licensee such that his copyright notice shields the proprietor from forfeiture. Thus the cover art is published without a copyright notice and is hence in the public domain.

The following links prove that the cover art does not have a copyright notice and that the inside of the book only has the copyright notice "COPYRIGHT © 1977 BY RICHARD BACHMAN".
