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.
Here's a more-subtle-than-usual "cover swipe". In fact, if I were into specifying swipes, I'd call this one an inspiration. Art Adams just uses the same theme as Jack Kirby used years before ... but, he doesn't force the characters into the same positions.
