Both my books..

Different artist, same Title, same potential death threat theme, very similar premise and dialogue. Both quite brutal.

Beautiful books, but I don't see either as a swipe (unless there's a third source of influence); Ditko's came out just a month earlier than Frazetta's.

Don’t confuse me with your logic

With image submission and printing, I don't believe it could be a swipe due to the close timing, not that they look that similar...

Both are great covers though by excellent artists.

Swipes are hard to come by but are so interesting when they are found.

The search continues!

This is not GA art, but I thought it was an interesting swipe to post.

The splash came first on this one.

Adventures into the Unknown  ACG  1952

The Cover belongs to Superior 8 months later.

Whoa, Heath did the original, who did the line for line swipe?

As far as I'm aware, Esposito re-jigged the Heath OA.

Does this really count as a swipe or a recycle? These 70s Marvel horror books reprinted Atlas-era horror books, and they often modified the covers of the original source books.

Yeah.

It's called re-cycling!

An idea for a story in Marvel Tales (Atlas) 1953 was re-cycled into a whole Title run some 19 years later.

I'm guessing Stan the Man was behind it.

Can anyone name the cover swipe from this pic of the young and very lovely Barbara Hale?

Most assuredly, this is not the inspiration.
