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.
DonnyB pointed this swipe out to me last week. The first issue was a momentous occasion in Marvel Boy/Justice’s life.
the New Warriors #20 February 1992 Mark Bagley |
the New Warriors #48 June 1994 Darick Robertson |
On Ebay: New Warriors
On AtomicAvenue: New Warriors
I think it’s funny that the title on the second one says “Time and Time Again.”
