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.<\/font><\/p>\n

Attempting to capitalize on the disco craze, Marvel debuted Dazzler <\/strong>in the pages of the Uncanny X-Men <\/em>#130 (cover date: February 1980). She was a disco singer that could convert sound into light blasts. She also had a groovy unitard costume and roller skates. No, seriously. Anywho, she got her own series a year later – the first issue sported a fancy painted cover. Flash forward a couple decades. 10th Muse <\/strong>debuted in 2000 – she’s the modern day daughter of the Greek god, Zeus. Her first series launched from Image Comics and showcased photo variant covers with Rena Mero<\/a> dressed as the title character. When the series relaunched under Avatar Press, it debuted with several variant covers that were cover swipes.<\/p>\n
