There is no copyright notice for the photo itself nor for the jacket as a whole, so the photo is published without a copyright notice.

Using the search term "Skeleton Crew" and looking at the year of publication 1985, we see three possibly relevant results: TX0001690837, SR0000068764 and SR0000077599.

TX0001690837 refers to the literary work and illustrations contained the limited first edition of Skeleton Crew (1985), and not the dust jacket nor the photo for the first edition. SR0000068764 and SR0000077599 refer to sound recordings of narrations of the literary work. Thus there are no copyright registrations for the photo itself nor for the jacket as a whole.

Thus the photo is in the public domain in the US.

This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1978 and March 1, 1989 without a copyright notice, and its copyright was not subsequently registered with the U.S. Copyright Office within 5 years. Unless its author has been dead for several years, it is copyrighted in the countries or areas that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada (50 pma), Mainland China (50 pma, not Hong Kong or Macau), Germany (70 pma), Mexico (100 pma), Switzerland (70 pma), and other countries with individual treaties.
