This is MPH, the comic book from Mark Millar and Duncan Fegredo published by Image Comics, with issue 5 up for FOC today. Featuring speedsters hopped up on a disocovered wonder drug, MPH, that gives them excellent speeding skills, which they put to naughty use.

But might it have had an earlier iteration as the drug of choice in the first season of Eureka, written by Chris Crosby – the man who co-founded Boom! Studios? Here are a few clips from said episode…

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.
