![]() ![]() Queen contacted Freas, who agreed to adapt the image for the LP cover, replacing the single body with the four lifeless band members. The caption read: “Please… fix it, Daddy?” to illustrate the story ‘The Gulf Between’ by Tom Godwin. Roger Taylor saw an issue of Astounding Science Fiction (from October 1953) whose cover art depicted a giant robot holding the lifeless body of a man. Queen’s original ‘News of the World’ cover is an adaptation of a painting by American sci-fi artist Frank Kelly Freas. Further rock variant covers unveiled earlier this year included Nirvana’s classic ‘Nevermind’, Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Appetite For Destruction’, The Clash‘s ‘London Calling’ and Blondie‘s ‘Parallel Lines’. Designed by Mike del Mundo it shows a Sentinel holding Old Man Logan and Kitty Pride as Colossus plummets to the ground. The limited run (220 copies) of the LP will have the iconic original cover on one side, and the Marvel version on the other. To celebrate 40 years since Queen released ‘News of the World’ on October 28th 1977, an exclusive vinyl with Marvel’s Rock Variant tribute to the iconic Queen artwork, for X-Men Gold #11, will be available this Saturday exclusively at MCM London Comic Con. ![]() EXCLUSIVE RUN OF ALBUM VINYL WITH ROCK VARIANT TRIBUTE COVER FOR X-MEN GOLD #11 AT MCM LONDON COMIC CON THIS SATURDAY OCTOBER 28TH
