  1. I wish I had the Wally Wood records. I remember Woolworths selling them when I was a kid, but money was scarce then. Oh well!

  2. More what, album covers by notable comic artists? I know a few.
    Neal Adams: Power Records - Conan the Barbarian, Six Million Dollar Man (&bc); Peter Pan - Jaws of the Shark, br-514 Superman (&bc); Electric Light Orchestra Part Two - For the Love of a Woman a single
    Brian Bolland: The Drifters - 24 Original Hits (&bc), Various – Sounds And Shigaku Limited Present: Beautiful Happiness,
    Robert Crumb, Jack Davis, William Stout: too many to list
    Frazetta: Both Sides of Herman's Hermits (you've had the front, but he drew both sides)
    Paul Gulacy: Ill Bill - What's Wrong With Bill? (I never heard of the guy, either, but it's a heck of a cover)
    Kaluta: Glenn Danzig - Black Aria, various artists - Nativity in Black & Nativity in Black II + booklets, Bobby Pickett - The Original Monster Mash
    Moebius: Black Out - Dust Rider, Ogoun Ferraille Jazz Septet, others
    P. Craig Russell: Clasical albums for Bridge Records including, Beethoven Symphony no. 9, Edvard Grieg, 3 Sonatas, David Starobin - New Music with Guitar, Paul Lansky - Homebrew
    Wally Wood: Peter and Penelope Poof Have a Party (this IS a thing, and he drew it)

    And, not a cover, but I know you need to see this festival poster of Keith Richards by Moebius because it surely would have been in Rock Stars or Rock Stars II if you had:

  3. Oh yeah, and:
    Corben: Jim Steinman - Bad For Good
    Very weird Frazetta cover on a comedy album: Jonathan Winters - Movies Are Better Than Ever
    Other albums with old Frazetta paintings as covers: American Dog - Neanderthal, Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force - War to End all Wars, Lecherous Gaze - One Fifteen, Wolfmother - first album and several singles.
    And there are soundtrack albums for most of the movies he did the posters for.
    And in an odd bit of not actually comics-related trivia, some other guy named Joe Kubert played rhythm guitar for Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels.
