Amazing Spider-Man #121, Daredevil #181 & Action Comics #252
Took me a long time this week to decide which iconic cover to choose for my cover swipe article. There are plenty of swipes out there but it's tough to find one cover with more than a few swipes that are actually done well. So I decided to use this article to highlight some swipes that I am always on the lookout for in my travels to different shops and conventions. Hopefully my editor will be ok with this (Iñigo??? You there?)
We all know what happens in this issue…luckily nobody stays dead in comics and Gwen Stacy is now one of the hottest characters out there. |
Deadpool seems to be one of the best at swiping covers from other famous books for his series. I missed out on this one when it came out but would love to get a copy for my collection. Just look at the Aunt May Deadpool! |
In my hunt for the Deadpool homage to ASM 121, I came across this variant that came out in 2012. My shop has it but since it’s a 1:50 it’s a little pricey to buy just for the cover. Right? |
Another hero, another dead girlfriend(I probably shouldn’t let my wife see this article) |
Another cover from the Marvel 50th anniversary set. I probably would have loved all of these when they came out. Alas I was not collecting at the time and missed out on these. |
![]() TMNT #3 (25 Copy Incentive) No dead turtles in this one, just a cool cover swipe! |
Everyone knows this is Supergirl’s first appearance. Or is it? Remind me to tell you about that some other time … |
This one has become somewhat difficult to find. Last I checked there weren’t any for sale on Ebay and when they do come up they go for a nice amount. |
This one isn’t as tough to find but I don’t see these too often either. Was very happy to find one a few weeks ago. |
Not sure why this one is underwater. Maybe I should read more books instead of just staring at the covers! |
![]() Supergirl/Prysm Double Shot Proof that covers sell books … I don’t know who Prysm is, nor do I care. I would still buy this for my swipe collection! |
![]() Supergirl Vol 6 38 (Flash 75th Anniversary Cover) Another anniversary cover, another great cover swipe! |
Hope you enjoyed the article! Thanks for reading!
I LOVE this stuff, great job as usual and thanks!
Great write up. Love it
Great story! TMNT has a few Daredevil swipes that I love. The one for DD 176 is fantastic!
Love these. Can I put in a request for a future article? Avengers #57 cover swipes! One of my favorite covers ever and I’m trying to put together a collection.
Great picks. Spider man 2099 #4 is my fav ASM 121 swipe.
What? You don’t know who Prysm is? Good stuff. Love checking out all these different covers!
