InDesign is a layout software from Adobe. It's the best I could find to do internal pages, and it can be used to make the layout of covers, but it's not optimal to do the artwork itself.
If you're interested in painting programs you should check PaintTool SAI if you haven't already. It's a light program that can be easily used from a pendrive, with a native color wheel, a great support to vector edition (for a painting program) and in a world full of expensive softwares it's cheap. It has some downsides too like not handling text as it should, and crashing if you try to do a super-print-size work, because it still has not a 64bits version.
In any case it's worth checking. They offer a 1 month trial, I think.
