Comic Book Style Album Cover Art

[Shevek]

Inspired by the Fela Kuti thread (Fela has some amazing, psychedelic comic-style-meets-collage album covers)...

What examples can you think of of good comic book inspired (or just comic-like in style) album covers?

A few that instantly sprang to my mind:

A Tribe Called Quest: Beats, Rhymes & Life
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000024MZX.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Scientist Rids The World Of The Evil Curse Of The Vampires
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000001XSC.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

and several other Scientist dub albums:

The Groundhogs: Who Will Save The World?
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00009L1OC.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
(note: I've never heard the Groundhogs (I guess they are some sort of country/Americana type thing?), but saw this one in a record shop the other day...)

I'm sure there are plenty of others in the worlds of dub and hip hop, but i dunno about other types of music (maybe a few indie/metal ones?)... your favourites?

The one that most immediately comes to mind is the R. Crumb cover for Janis Joplin's Cheap Thrills.

One of those Iced Earth album covers that Hiromi posted remided me of another:

Lords of Acid--Voodoo-U

I'd post a picture of it, but I don't want to break the no nudity rule. You can do a search for it if ya wants to check it out.

Didn't Brian Bolland do the cover for that one Kula Shaker album?

[iwarrior]

Dave Gibbons did the cover for Kula Shaker's K album...

He's done other album covers as well.

Alex Ross has done two Anthrax album covers...

I think Dan Brereton did an album cover for Rob Zombie.

I also believe that Derek Riggs,Iron Maiden's longtime album cover artist, has done some comics work.

[Sanagi]

I think Dave McKean (Sandman cover artist) has done album covers but I don't know what specifically.

Try Stabbing Westward & Buckethead.

[Dennis K]

If I knew how to post them I would, but I'm suprised nobody has mentioned the Iron Maiden albums, or the original cover for Appetite For Destruction.

Here's more Toddy Mac album covers...

Yeah. I think that artwork was reused from a children's book McKean did though.

[Alex]

Yep, but it was still an album cover.
