After looking at hundreds of comic book covers, it becomes quickly apparent that not every cover is 100% original. Whether done intentionally or even underhandedly, there’s something about uncovering these “swipes” that adds a new element of fun to reading and collecting comics.
Stephen King’s Dark Tower series of novels has an enormous following, so it was with much excitement that Marvel Comics acquired the license to publish comics based upon the books. The writing chores for the series were confidently handed over to Peter David. And, a year and half later, when IDW published a comic series based on David’s Sir Apropos of Nothing series, it seemed only fitting that the cover pay homage to the cover of the first Dark Tower comic.
