Swipe File: Leviathan Vs Ghost Ship

Published Wed, 07 Mar 2012 18:51:33 -0600

This is the cover to the new edition of Leviathan from Rebellion, by Ian Edginton and D'Israeli, a new take on the Titanic story, a ship lost in a strange ocean, and the murders that take place on its deck…

…and below the poster to 2002's Ghost Ship, in which a salvage crew discovers a long-lost 1962 passenger ship floating lifeless in a remote region of the Bering Sea, and as they try to tow it back to land, "strange things" happen…

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.
