Swipe File: Flipping Gotham City
This is the Adam Hughes cover to Just Imagine Stan Lee And Chris Bachalo Creating Catwoman from 2002.
Let's lose the trade dress and logos…
Now flip it.
Remove central character and replace with another version of her. Slap on trade dress and logos…
And we have Adam Hughes' cover to Catwoman #53!
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.
