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.
Mike Zeck‘s iconic cover to Captain America Annual #8 is easily the most memorable Cap Annual cover. Over 20 years later, the first Ultimate Cap Annual paid tribute to this famous image by pitting the Ultimate Black Panther against Ultimate Captain America.
