Homage cover list/db? 0

[Cocomonkey]

Hey all, does anyone know of any website(s) that has a solid listing or database of homage covers, or a way to search for them without just sifting through multiple random lists from Google? Or at least, lists of the covers that tend to be referenced the most? As I'm approaching the end of completing my Uncanny X-Men v1 full run (37 books left and counting...!), I'm looking towards the next goal to keep me engaged. Completing v2-v6 won't be too difficult, and while I want to start branching into all of the other X-related titles, I'm overflowing in my current storage space setup as it is, and all the related titles are...a lot, haha. So instead, I was thinking more about future display possibilities, where I eventually hope to have a few shelves to show some books behind me on work calls (since my future collecting space will likely also be my work-from-home space). I always had this in the back of my head as a nice idea, anyway, so I thought it might make a good next goal to work towards. And luckily (or unluckily?) for me, since my eye would be for X-Men homages, I'd focus on 141 and GSX 1 homages first, which I know have quite a lot.

But since there are a lot...was hoping there might already be some somewhat-complete lists out there to get started with, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel completely.

Thanks! That's going to mean...a lot of sifting through, haha.

That certainly goes to the top of the list for most undeserving characters with an iconic homage cover!

Not sure of what you r looking for, you want some X-men homage cover? Could this come from any publisher, series? Or you search more specific stuff?

Is it the kind of things you want? >

Yeah, like that. I think to start, would probably focus on UXM 141 homages (as that's the most iconic, and probably also plentiful). After that, probably #1 and GSXM #1, but likely 141 first. Any publisher/series, I think...the idea would be to have a collection so that once I put up some display shelves at some nebulous future point, I can cycle in a wall of homages periodically.

Ok in this case will look a bit for you if i find some

So, as an experiment, I thought I'd start with X-Men 141, being one of the more iconic and heavily homaged covers. Here are the main sources I searched through--

https://comicvine.gamespot.com/homage-covers/4015-43734/images/?tag=The X-Men %23141

https://sidekickcomicgear.com/homage-covers/uncanny-x-men-141-homage-covers/

https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/galko/lists/8803/cover-homage-the-uncanny-x-men-141

Anything else I found past that was generally just a subset of those (and usually only a handful of covers).

Counting virgin/sketch/B&W covers separately (but not counting direct/newsstand distinctions), I came up with 78 books on CLZ.

Spoiler

I also found 2 that don't appear on CLZ...a Mr. Easta variant and an Archie Halloween Spectacular 2022 variant.

Along the way, I found a few images that I can't seem to find information on their books, and the images don't have any identifying info, but I think they're just fan art/commissioned pieces.

1,500 of those cover homages done are for ASM 300
