Probably the saddest, most comprehensive example of swiping I'll ever see right here. I was crushed when I first saw this.

 

According to John Romita, in the huge 75 years of DC book by Paul Levitz, there was at one time talk of a class action against Lichtenstein for plagiarism.

 

Shocking to think how feted he is in the fine art world, when it appears he was ripping of fellow professionals who were paid a tiny page rate for work he duplicated for big bucks.

 

Pizzes me off just thinking about it rantrant

Las portadas de los cinco números aparecidos hasta el momento de la serie Crossed: Family Values, homenajean en su estilo particular a otras tantas pinturas. En este orden, Freedonm from want de Normal Rockwell, American Gothic de Grant Wood, Whistler’s mother de James McNeill Whistler (reproducimos un detalle del cuadro, que puede verse completo aquí), Christina’s world de Andrew Wyeth (detalle, completo aquí) y Nighthawks de Edward Hopper (de nuevo, detalle, y puede verse en todo su esplendor en este enlace). Las portadas de Crossed son, creemos, de Jacen Burrows.
