Sorry, I thought we were having fun discussing printing methods and image similarities. I knew of the story about the Zappa image creation but had considered the Elvis image similarity to be humorous. The idea of Mr Zappa stealing ideas from Elvis, to use a phrase, cracked me up.
In the case of the Hendrix image it looks as if both contrast over-correction and a mis-registration of the color overlay is the issue. Notice the white line along the left of the Hendrix black ink silhouette and the orange and the orange and yellow bleed along the right. Perhaps the artist creating the poster planned this for graphic effect. Or maybe a happy accident when the registration marks were ignored.
But then why did he give Mr H a pigs tale?

I think that white line is simply the overlay like the old Godzilla movies-
pigtail funny ...Elvis as weasel guy funny
I still think- Jimi's hand was darkened on purpose, and white dots and 'shine on fingers for a glove effect
but I think its much like past image manipulation
wiki 0n Axis LP-
The painted image of the Experience was then superimposed on top of a copy of a mass-produced religious poster. Hendrix commented: "The three of us have nothing to do with what's on the Axis cover." Some Hindus have since expressed anger over the use of religious images for the album's artwork. The Malaysian government's Home Ministry instituted a ban on the album's art in response to complaints.

the English Electric Lady land LP cover Hendrix described as 'ugly'

I think the militant black power salute
is a PC overlay on a
'summer of love' guy
and I bet Jimi would see it that way
glad no one mistook his term 'Axis'
