Swipe File: Mars Chocolates Vs. Marvel's Biggest Nazi, The Red Skull

Mars Chocolates puts out plenty of products for Halloween — 'tis the season, after all — perfect for filling candy baskets come the big night. And everything gets a little Halloween makeover, too.

Such as purple vampires…

Orange scarecrows…

And Red… Skulls?

Sadly, this is not an official Marvel licensed product.

But for Marvel fans, could it be a collectible in its own right as a result?

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.
