I agree with Tony, but I'm coming from the stock photography world. Send them an invoice to be paid within 30 days then turn it over to an attorney. I'm estimating this cover would license for over $1400 on sites like Getty.
agree, but an attorney - not just any attorney but one who specializes in copyright law (or IP law) - needs to be involved
your attorney may specialize, but not discussing your case online is good advice
the basics are that you already own the copyright w/o having to do anything at all; if you register the work with the US Govt. then certain types of damages are assumed
part of the settlement (whether you go to court or not) can be that they do a piece on you, or they publish in a later issue that the photo was yours - the former will be more effective but they may be less likely to do that (unless an attorney makes it "worth their while")
