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.
Robert Kirkman wrote the entire third series of Marvel Team-Up and reached all across the Marvel Universe for guest leads including Sleepwalker and Darkhawk. He even pulled characters from alternate futures (like Marvel Knights 2099) and in a rare sight for comics, issue 14 included his creator-owned character, Invincible!
