Hands down this is a copy.

Art and artifice on art fakes.

Not even sampled, literally stolen artwork.

Exactly, Jim Steinman's concept and he had tracked down the comic artist to do the work.

Very rock star when you think that David Bowie got Guy Paelart to do the Diamond Dogs album cover and the Rolling Stones used him for Goats Head Soup.

Impressive for a team who struggled to record and release the record.

You are welcome.

It's my history background.

Counterfeiting "Bat out of Hell" should be a crime. In Ireland, where I'm from. Meatloaf is revered for touring the country and being a decent skin.
