Comic Book Cover Swipes Exposed #44 Avengers

Filed under: Swiped: Comic Book Cover Swipes Exposed! — Doorman @ 5:51 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.

Avengers #57 introduced the super-hero android, the Vision! Besides the main three Avengers (Cap, Iron Man, & Thor), he’s probably served the most time on Avengers teams. His first appearance has been swiped a number of times since then, including Avengers West Coast vol. II #45, which featured a dramatic change in the character when his emotions were unwillingly removed.
