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

There are few beings in the Marvel Universe as powerful as Galactus<\/strong>. And, his appearances are normally marked as important events that make readers take special notice. In Fantastic Four <\/em>#243, The FF teams up with Doctor Strange, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and the Wasp to accomplish a rare sight. They actually manage to defeat Galactus in battle!<\/p>\n

Married With Children<\/a> was a very popular TV show that lasted for eleven seasons from the late 1980s into the mid 1990s. Capitalizing on its success, NOW Comics <\/strong>licensed the show and began publishing comics based on it. As sales began to fall off, NOW experimented with some strange stories. One such spin-off was Married With Children: the Quantum Quartet<\/em>, which re-invisioned the cast of the TV show as super-heroes based on the Fantastic Four. It didn’t last long. In fact, issues #3 and 4 were never published. But, a while later, those final two issues emerged, combined within this Big Wrap-Up <\/em>special. As always, there’s no better way to begin a spoof comic than starting off with a cover swipe.<\/p>\n
