Swipe File: DC Comics' Movie Variants Covers Vs. Thor Goes To Hollywood (Necrosha + Loners UPDATE)
So DC Comics have all these movie cover variants based on Warner Bros films for March….
And a swipe file for each and every individual cover would be ridiculous, as it is clear what they are all based on. There's nothing to reveal. But did anyone get a flashback to these Thor Goes To Hollywood variants from Marvel?
Not to mention a certain Get Kraven series.
Looks like everyone wants to do Jaws!
UPDATE: Oh yes, and during Necrosha on the X-Men…
And before them all, The Loners…
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.
