Wikipedia says the cover was designed by someone called Mark Kostabi, can't find any info that he ever was a comic book artist?

think Nick prob means Appetite for Destruction, which had a Robert Williams painting on the cover, tho iirc the painting existed before the alb, so doesn't count under sic's 'no satriani' ruling

^ Hunt Emerson also did this painting which probably falls foul of the sic clause, but he did these pictures that got used on various records too:

Woodring did the critter on the front of El Oso by Soul Coughing, but not the design, I assume

This guy has extensive very impressive lists...http://rateyourmusic.com/list/snellius/record_covers_drawn_designed_by_comic_artists_and_cartoonists__an_overview/http://rateyourmusic.com/list/snellius/record_covers_drawn_designed_by_comic_artists_____in_progress__/
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.
