The first two things that came to mind - Larry Hama's GI Joe #21 "Silent Issue," which made for a classic, breathtaking issue and the B&W Walking Dead comics, with the lack of color causing a feeling of dread and death.
"Acoustic version of a comic book" had me immediately remember one I saw at a local indie con where the artist KNITTED the book out of cloth, including the artwork. Somehow they scanned or photographed this work and printed it to sell, but the original was on their table to actually see and touch.
A wordless comic feels like the visual equivalent of a poem, which I suppose is the musical analogue of writing? Maybe the penciled draft of a comic is acoustic; the ideas are all there but the artist's shorthand and rough style are a more direct experience of their thoughts.

I can see the "artist editions" of works, showing the pencils and inks, being similar to acoustic or, maybe, live versions of those same songs.
