This is what the internet's for.
A bunch of illustrators start a blog http://howfuckingromantic.wordpress.com/ posting illustrated versions of the the lyrics to each song on The Magnetic Fields' "does what it says on the tin" triple CD. They've only posted a handful at the minute, but here's a sample:
And the TMF nerds amongst us will be delighted to see that the blue used in the illustration is indeed Pantone 292....
Does anyone know of any other unusual tributes to a favourite album, in whatever medium?

Pink Floyd
For their November 1974 gig(s?), the programme was in the form of a comic. It was just about the first gig I went to, and my favourite programme. I kept two copies for years, but somehow, somewhere, they got lost.
I can't remember exactly what the programme was about but I'm fairly sure that one or two of their songs were there in comic strip form. This was "Dark Side of the Moon" and a few songs from what would be "Wish You Were Here"
There's a couple on eBay
Bids start at £69 for one £40 for the other.
Hmmm...
Think I'll just keep hoping that mine show up.
awesome
Great stuff, as you say the fact that Pantone 292 is used is the icing on the cake.
Time that man stopped messing around and made a pop record again.
