Frank Zappa gallery!
What does Zappa have to do with Comics?!?!
Like most of us here on the CAF, Frank Zappa read comics as a kid and the influence stayed with him.
One of his 1964 recordings, "Metal Man has Hornets Wing" was read directly from a comic book pinned up on the studio wall. In '67 Zappa published the FIRST MUSIC INDUSTRY AD IN A COMIC. It was a full page ad for his 2nd album and was published in Fantastic Four #72 (and other Marvels from that month). IN 1978 HE HAD JACK KIRBY TO HIS HOUSE FOR DINNER.(see pic) By '91 he starred in Rock 'n Roll Comics #32
Zappa's album covers often were festooned with garish art that had a real comic book look and feel. Cal Shenkel was his artist at large.
There are 14 Pieces of Art In This Gallery.
