While Nagata wasn't the only illustrator on the series, he is the most well known for his cover art. He started designing for the series with the 2nd book, Tick Tock, You're Dead! and continued for most of the series, ending with Lost in Stinkeye Swamp. The only book in between that time to not be illustrated by him, was Shop till you Drop...Dead!, which was illustrated by Craig White.
