Baikie is much more of a comic book artist than Bob Camp!

I have another Dame Darcy cover for a Kittywinder CD, but this 7" is the only one the internet knows about (and is enormous)

I couldn't find it on-line, but I am pretty sure Jack Davis did a portrait of Anthrax back in the 80s.

The booklet from Eels "Electroshock Blues" featured cartoons by Adrian Tomine, Chester Brown, Seth, and Debbie Dreschler. But can I find a scan anywhere online? Can I heck. I've only got the cassette version here, and they're all tiny and barely legible.

Wow...that one is a mind blower in a way, I don't think I had ever put 2 and 2 together to realize 'Bat out of Hell' was done by Corben. I got that Groundhogs album by Adams back in the 80s because it was drawn by Adams only much much later to come to dig their music.

I saw this cassette in a thrift store in high school and got it just because of the cover art. I had seen just a few Mark Beyer panels in a book about comics but I wanted to read his stuff so bad. This was the closest I could get. I bought it and it was responsible for getting me into Zorn and Coleman. Thanks Mark Beyer!

That's definitely Gibbons on the Kula Shaker, IIRC he did the singles as well.
Just remembered Phil Jimenez did a? some? Kula Shaker singles. Though I can't find anything on the interwebs that looks like either of them, bar the album, so maybe I still R incorrectly.

I dunno, maybe not the design, but the detailed linework on the robot and motorcycle is very much Jimenez.
Confirmed here.

i was gonna say, the motorcycle looks Very Jimenez to me

Never realised Gibbons did that Kula Shaker record, but it's so obvious in retrospect. Good grief.

Did McFarlane just give the band an unused piece of Spawn art, or did they specifically want Spawn to be on their album cover?

The Dark Saga is a concept album based on the Todd McFarlane comic book character Spawn

A huge database...http://ronaldk.home.xs4all.nl/index2.html
Suehiro Maruo did lots of japanese punk albums, I think some John Zorn too. Awesome stuff.http://www.kurutta.com/2009/04/suehiro-maruos-cd-covers.html
Danzig and Rob Zombie got a lot of comic artists to do their covers. Joe Chiodo, Simon Bisley, Gene Colan and more.
I'm sure that guy who does dinosaurs and movie concept art did a Who live album cover. Cant remember his name.
