C. Winston Taylor (also credited as C.W. Taylor) did illustrations for book covers, comic books, album covers, and more.

From comicbookdb.com:

"C. Winston Taylor always knew from a young age that he would communicate through his drawings. Fighting in the jungles of Vietnam, where he earned two Bronze Stars, helped solidify this vision.

After graduating with honors from the Art Center College of Design, in Los Angeles, he quickly became a well-respected illustrator. His work has received numerous awards and he served as the president of The Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles."
