      Jaime Hernandez did a cover for The Makers and Sam Kieth did one for the Groovin' Ghoulies

      I can't think of any garage/punk songs that reference underground comix. I wish I knew of some...

      Don't forget the Teenage Shutdown song about Niatpac Levram; The evil mirror of Captain Marvel.

      I might need help, but this thread is just for kicks! Anything is good, even say, "The Riddler" by the Method Man which actually uses a warped sample of the original Hefti Batman theme! I was also thinking about what comic writers might have bands. Thanks for the tip.

       

      Just remembered the Boonaraaas have a bit of a Hulk fetish:

      Well, there is (the metal) Judge Dredd inspired "I Am the Law" by Anthrax - these others aren't garage/punk but...

      "Not Since Superman Died" by The Ass Ponys
      "The Eye-Ball Kid" from Tom Waits  
      numerous tracks from James Kocholka

       

      Oh.. check out The Ottomen (which has comic creators in it) and R. Crumbs' band

       

      Hope that helps

      Good response, I wasn't thinking about appearances by bands in comics! Totally reminded me about this Supersnazz 7" which actually is packaged and comes with a comic featuring themselves! There was actually a TV movie with KISS and Dr. Doom???

      Yes, I know this isn't "garagey," but I still like the Marvel comic books that starred KISS.  To my ten-year-old mind at the time, it was cool seeing them as super heroes battling the evil Dr. Doom.  It also laid the groundwork for the hilariously bad TV movie they made later on.

       

      BTW, there was also an Archies' comic book that showed the Pipettes on the cover.  I'll post it here if I can find it.

       

      Also, the Cynics released a 7" years ago that also showed them on an Archie comic book cover.  I thought it was very cool.
