Album Covers inspired by Comic Books

[jools&jim]

Technically, this is a poster insert, and not the actual album cover, for Grand Funk's All the Girls in the World Beware!!...but who's keeping score?

 

Around here?

 

Almost everybody.

[porcupine48]

Cheap Thrills by Janis Joplin,dont have an image though.

[jools&jim]

 

Do box set covers count?

 

 

Ok, I'll stop now...

 

[Park]

Post more if you got them. I'm enjoying it.

[Bronze Surfer]

 

Love this one!

Cheap Thrills by Janis Joplin,dont have an image though.

 

[jools&jim]

 

Okay...I lied.

 

Jim Fitzpatrick, who worked closely with Thin Lizzy on many of their album covers, definitely had a quasi Barry Smith/Neal Adams thing going on...

 

[LloydJBailey]

 

Two that spring to mind.

[jools&jim]

 

Pretty sure that Robin Trower was still around for this one...

More Who bootleg madness from Wm. Stout:

 

[jools&jim]

 

This probably doesn't quite qualify...and most of us Yanks have no idea what Beano is anyway...

 

[Bronze Surfer]

 

 

 

 

Anyone else see Scarlet Witch when they look at this cover? Maybe a little Ghost Rider and The Destroyer too?

 

[jools&jim]

 

How 'bout a 45 sleeve for a fun little number by Macca and some other chaps?

 

[jools&jim]

 

And now for something completely different...

 

[jools&jim]

 

Surf's up!

 

[jools&jim]

 

Speaking of surf music, which was so beloved by Keith Moon, how 'bout a quick time out for the Who's take on Moonie's favorite TV theme...

 

 

 

[Park]

Surf's up!

 

 

That's cool.

 

 

[jools&jim]

 

I could go on and on...but I'm an old fogey perpetually marinated in a boozy stew of British Invasion, garage rock, glam, bubblegum, folk rock, '70s hard rock & metal, classic radio pop, and early punk.

 

There's gotta be an EFF-TON of post-punk, grunge, and "indie-alternative" album covers out there with comic book themes. So let's hear it for, and from, some of the younger, hipper lads...
