I noticed this Alexisonfire cover in an Ipod ad and I immediately recognized it as a swipe of Bill Everett's cover to Spellbound #17.

This got me thinking - are there other album covers that swipe from comics books?

I'm not talking about Albums that simply use comic related art (such as Surfing With the Alien - which I don't think is actually from a SS comic), but rather ones that use specific iconic pictures or poses from comics.

Can you folks think of any others?

This hand on that cover is swiped directly from a hellboy comic, but it's not from the cover.

I don't know if this is a swipe of a specific cover, or just a tribute, but this bootleg album is one of my all-time favorites:

Now that I think of it, I may need to swap out one of my album cover frames and put this on the wall.
