Swipe File: Mike Turner Vs Computeropolis

The late Michael Turner has become one of the most imitated, collected and in comics since his death. There are many people willing to take advantage of this, and as a result, people watching out for scam merchants forging or swiping his artwork.

But one DeviantArtist computeropolis not only has been swiping from Michael, but also accused one of Michael's inkers, Tim Townsend, of being nothing more than a swiper himself, when Tim challenged him about it.

Here are a few examples of his work… and the Michael Turner work that "inspired" it.

In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, jokes, coincidences or works of the lightbox. We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself.  If you are unable to do so, please return your eyes to their maker before any further damage is done. The Swipe File doesn't judge, it's interested more in the process of creation, how work influences other work, how new work comes from old, and sometimes how the same ideas emerge simultaneously, as if their time has just come. The Swipe File was named after the advertising industry habit where writers and artist collect images and lines they admire to inspire them in their work. It was swiped from the Comic Journal who originally ran this column, as well as the now defunct Swipe Of The Week website.
