Comic Book Cover Swipes Exposed #102 the Atom

Filed under: Swiped: Comic Book Cover Swipes Exposed! — Doorman @ 5:45 am

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.

Ray Palmer isn’t quite as small as an actual atom but he is really tiny! His size makes for some great cover shots that just wouldn’t fit a regular-sized super-hero. Here, Brian Bolland pays tribute to a classic Gil Kane cover from 40 years prior!
