sigh

What part of "And artist cannot swipe from himself" is not being understood here?

If you want to cite those THOR and FOURTH WORLD covers, go back to this:

Me neither! A real "D'Oh" moment for me, again! I also didn't notice the one JB drawn "Peter Parker" cover being based on the other one he did, and I've seen all those covers more times than I can remember.

About this thread...

Is this an "homage" thread, or a "swipe" thread? I ask before virtually none of these are "swipes" in the way most people talk about. Only the "Star Wars" cover Robbie posted (and wasn't that a Frenz/Palmer cover, not just Palmer?) might be an actual swipe as the phrase is commonly used.

GCD says it's just Palmer Matt. Can only see his signature as well.

I don't even think that Palmer cover is a swipe.

What's that Wally Wood quote?
Don't draw what you can't trace, don't something something
something?

Roughly, don't draw what you can swipe, don't swipe what you can trace, don't trace what you can cut out and paste in, and don't do any of that if you can hire someone to do it for you.

But it shouldn't really be adopted as a mantra!
