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 DeMatteis\/Giffen\/Maguire era of Justice League <\/em>stories is a lot of fun. Early on, the story was building up towards a confrontation between Guy Gardner <\/strong>(at the height of his jerk-ishness) and Batman <\/strong>(who wasn’t going to tolerate Guy’s behavior). It culminated in issue #5 … famously! Around that same time, another confrontation was building in the pages of the Doom Patrol <\/em>… less famously. This one was between Negative Man <\/strong>and Negative Woman<\/strong>. Going off of that similarity, Erik Larsen <\/strong>decided to pay homage to Kevin Maguire<\/strong>‘s cover.<\/p>\n
