I heard -- and perhaps it was only the voices in my head -- that this cover is actually a swipe of a classic golden age comic cover. Does any one have any knowledge of what comic this cover might be based on?

It’s definitely not a swipe, a homage at most, but the classic GA cover it is always compared to is Detective Comics 31:

I personally don’t think it’s a homage, but given that Steranko’s a comics historian I can’t rule it out entirely.
