There are certain comic book "tropes" (a common or overused theme or device : cliché) that are beyond swipes and homages.

 

Take for instance, the "piata" cover. I believe that a true "pieta" cover has the person holding the other person seated and not standing.

 

 

Pieta homage. (seated)

 

 

Not a pieta homage. (standing)

 

 

More like a trope or cliche.

This thread is wrecked. Too many dropped links. I'll attempt to repair it.

I need some help on this one.

I don't remember which cover of Superman or Action has "Raining Supermen."

 

"GOLCONDA" - Rene Magritte (1953)

 

 

 

 

There's another one with raining Supermen.

I'll admit this one is a strecth but with Greg you never know. Did Greg need a more grisly head model than the woman on the cover to Crime Suspenstories 22?
