Swipe File: Venom And Warhammer
All hail Bell of Lost Souls for noticing this. But some space ships in Venom: Space Knight #6 looked a little familiar.
As if they were right out of Warhammer 40K. Let's do a little comparison of our own. Between this…
…and this…
But the real smoking gun is this….
…because that's the Tau symbol from Warhammer 40K. Unmistakable.
So.. the question is… what else can you see here?
In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, 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.
