Swipe File: That Captain America Image By Rob Liefeld

This is one of the most famous images by Rob Liefeld. It may also be one of the most mocked.

Created for Heroes Reborn, it has been parodied for the prominence and size of Cap's chest, the position of his stomach and the placement of his arms.

However, could it have had its origins elsewhere? No, I'm sorry, that anatomy is completely unrealistic. Either way, now Rob Liefeld sees the joke…

Separated At Birth used to be called Swipe File, in which we presented two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences, or works of the lightbox. We trusted you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself. If you were are unable to do so, we asked that you please return your eyes to their maker before any further damage is done. The Swipe File didn't judge; it was interested more in the process of creation, how work influences other work, how new work comes from old, and sometimes how the same ideas emerge simultaneously as if their time has just come. The Swipe File was named after the advertising industry habit where writers and artist collect images and lines they admire to inspire them in their work. It was swiped from the Comic Journal, who originally ran this column and the now-defunct Swipe Of The Week website.
