I read the Saga of the Supersons TPB and saw a familiar scene.  This is the original scene in Avengers # 95  |

Yes, there are a bunch of poses/compositions based on Adams's Kree-Skrull War work in that Super Sons story. |

Direct from the just-completed Sun Classic Cover Contest (courtesy of crimebuster and pinkfloydsound17): Julius Schwartz: Hey Mort, take a look at this sketch Carmine did for a cover--it's a beaut. Mort Weisinger: Eh, I've seen better. (Later that same day) Weisinger: C'mere Curt, I've got an idea for a cover...   MiS on sale Jan. 1963 Action on sale March 1963   Yeah I know, I know--a non uncommon comic book cover hero pose/stance. But I got a kick out of the fact that they were both on sale within a couple of months of one another. Also, fwiw evidently there was a solar eclipse in 1963 (July) |

Saw this today.... It reminded me of this cover, of which I have a real beat up copy I don't think that's really a swipe (the pictures are quite different, despite showing much the same scene), but it's almost certainly meant as a homage. However, just a month earlier, in Star Wars #74, cover artist Tom Palmer definitely did swipe from the cover of the October 1959 issue of Stag, drawn by Mort Kunstler...   |

Excellent detective work, confessor! I love Palmer's Star Wars work, but there's few who could match the great Mort Kunstler for pure dramatic scene creation. Below is a case of suspected "inspired by" work; on the left is the cover of The Avengers #23 (December, 1965), with art by John Romita, Sr. and Jack Kirby, and the cover of EERIE #17 (September, 1968) with art by Tom Sutton.  Note the giant figures of Kang and an animated Sphinx reaching forward (and the positioning of the hands) at normal-sized foreground figures in action, along with the dramatic underlighting of both giant subjects. No hard evidence, of course, but the Warren magazine seems inspired by the Marvel cover. |
