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.
Mark Gruenwald wrote hundreds of comics but the story that he was most proud of was Squadron Supreme. After he died, Marvel Comics published a trade paperback collecting the twelve-issue limited series and Gruenwald’s ashes were mixed into the ink! A new cover was provided for the collection by Alex Ross and was later paid homage to by Gary Frank.
