Comic Book Cover Swipes Exposed #41 Grimm Fairy Tales

Filed under: Swiped: Comic Book Cover Swipes Exposed! — Doorman @ 4:19 pm

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.

Here’s an interesting “swipe”. Al Rio used a similar concept for both of these covers although there are enough differences between the two that I can’t call it a direct swipe. Perhaps he just likes the effect these positions create.
