What cover is this swiped from?

Justice League Europe #48

 

What cover is this swiped from? It's on the tip of my tounge-- driving me crazy!

 

 

[Hepcat]

Are you thinking of one of these perhaps?

 

I didn't look back through the pages, but is there a listing for all of the books (and I'm sure there are *a lot*) that feature two teams/groups running at each other? And this motif spans many different ages.

 

Such as:

 

 

 

 

Is this a Marvel-only thing or are there some DC examples?

 

Here's a DC example:

 

 

[Mutant Manatee]

 

 

[VintageComics]

Doesn't seem to be a swipe from anything I can remember.

 

Does have elements of many different covers though (including Supes vs. Doomsday from Action #684) but that post that GL is in is a pretty popular post for a Superhero.

It reminds me of a Gil Kane cover, but at the moment, can't remember who. The wolf person in the lower left is a classic Kane "KOed" image

This is not it, but it justs reminds me of GL 40

[KirbyJack]

 

Probably not it, but it's close enough to make me look it up.

In my mind, I can picture a cover that's laid out exactly like the JLE #48 cover (with Alan Scott being replaced by... Superman? Thor?) and all the other characters being replaced by someone else.

 

Like Sal, I imagined it was probably a Gil Kane cover.

 

Well, it could very well be my mind is just filling in images from several different covers to create the composite I'm imagining.

 

But if I should see an "original source" for this cover, I'll post it in this thread.

I think you're right, I can almost see the original as well but can't quite put my finger on it either. Arrgh!

[Silver Surfer]

Avengers #71?

[Timely]

Justice League Europe #48

 

What cover is this swiped from? It's on the tip of my tounge-- driving me crazy!

 

 

 

Perhaps a combination of these two covers?

 

 

[telerites]

I was hoping someone would nail this. I can't think of a swipe/homage for this one. My first thought was Avengers #70 vs Squadron Supreme but it is not really that close.

My guess is that it's similar enough to any number of group battle covers that it just seems like an homage.

JIM 118 has a similar positioning of Thor and Destroyer
