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

The Guardians of the Galaxy <\/strong>debuted over four decades ago in Marvel Super-Heroes <\/em>#18. At first, the concept wasn’t a smash hit – in fact, their next appearance was in Marvel Two-In-One <\/em>#5<\/a> which was published five years later! <\/p>\n

In the 1990s, Jim Valentino launched the first Guardians of the Galaxy <\/em>series. The series was very popular when it first debuted and continued publication for over five years. In issue #26, Jim Valentino retold the origin of the Guardians of the Galaxy but, with a twist: it seems that, previously unknown to us, the events of their origin were guided by Starhawk’s machinations. It was a neat bit of retconning that wasn’t heavy-handed.<\/p>\n
