Shane Davis is the artist of Metal Men, Superman: Earth One and currently in massive dispute with someone who is trying to sell his original art to people in car parks. Maybe he may have found a potential buyer? Posting his recent cover from Red Hood & The Outlaws #32… And this cover from Patrick […]
Thanks to Bleeding Cool reader, Walter Lawson, for spotting this one. Picking up a copy of Red Sonja Birth of She-Devil #4… …and, as he tells me, noticing that the cover by Lucio Parrillo looked oddly familiar. And recognised an older photo of cosplayer and adult model Vera Bambi. Here’s an interstitial… Separated At Birth […]
This is a comic book panel from Simon Williams. From the British-originated Marvel UK comic book Spectacular Spider-Man Adventures #100. And here’s an Etsy listing from SuperheroWallArt. And a reply by the lister to someone complaining – that suggests he’s already been contacted by others as well… First Sale means that you can buy something and […]
Richard Sala has been publishing a new horror comics anthology called The Creeps Magazine under the Warrant Publishing Company label that… bears a passing resemblance to the Warren Publishing anthology horror comics magazine of old, Creepy Magazine. And that resemblance is not coincidental. So with Vampirella on the rise again, what could be more natural […]
Over the weekend, we looked at John Gallagher‘s work on a variety of Transformers comic book covers, that appeared to be filtered shots of the Transformers toys, or other Transformers artists work. But it goes further than the plastic-and-metal toy set. Gallagher also did a run of covers on the Chapterhouse comic book Captain Canuck, […]
Lucca Comics and Games is the biggest comic book convention in Europe, the second largest iun the world and even bigger than Angouleme. Last year they sold a quarter of a million tickets to the event, so it’s a focus for many eyes. The poster for the October/November show has been released by graphic novelist […]
Comic book creator and cover artist Francesco Mattina has been the receiver of considerable critique and criticism over the influences on his work.

Andrew Wildman writes on Facebook, Recent painted cover by Clayton Crain for Venom Unleashed. Alongside my cover for Carnage Unleashed in 1995. Not sure this has been mentioned by anyone. Please let me know if I am mistaken. Don’t get me wrong, great piece by Clayton but, well, ya know… Let’s take a look. From […]
There have been quite a few comparisons made between Francesco Mattina‘s cover work for DC Comics and Marvel Comics of late. We ran quite a few over here. But, with the new DC Comics solicitations, there have been more. Here is a Ben Oliver cover from 2015, for Lobo #4. And this is the recently solicited […]
It’s not like this is the first time that Italian comic book and cover artist Francesco Mattina has been called out for… unexplained similarities in his work to other people. Bleeding Cool was doing it back in 2017, comparing the work of Ian MacDonald to Mattina’s Venomized covers. Similar concern was raised regarding alleged similarities between […]
This is a post by Kyle Willis. It is dated 2015. This is “Pouches”. Pouches was born from the illustrative style of comic royalty Rob Liefeld.

Tejay Henson posted on Facebook saying, Now I’m being accused of stealing someone else artwork because mine looks similar. Okay well […]
Here’s an upcoming cover to Ninja-K #10 by Giuseppe Camuncoli. But Todd Seavey, author of Libertarianism for Beginners, found it rather familiar… As he dug through his collection of classic movie posters to the original Mad Max. That’s right folks, there was a Mad Max film before Fury Road. Three of them actually. I know, who knew? […]

Recently announced as part of DC Comics’ new Black Label imprint was a Batman comic, by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, Batman: Last Knight on Earth. Batman wakes up in a desert. He doesn’t know what year it is or how The Joker’s head is alive in a jar beside him, but it’s the beginning […]
Suicide Squad #37, out this week, with a cover by Jorge Jimenez. And Heroes For Hire #5 from 11 years ago, by Billy Tucci. Separated at birth? Or strangled at birth? 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 […]
The upcoming issue of Tom King and Joelle Jones‘s Batman #39 is much anticipated, following on from the very well-received double date at the fair, Batman #37 issue, interrupted by the equally well-received for very different reasons Batman #38 “Origin Of Bruce Wayne”, which is still scarred into both my cheeks. But what can we expect? […]
Yesterday saw the release of DC Comics’ solicitations for March 2018 — including one for Red Hood and the Outlaws that seemed a little familiar to some… RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #20 Written by SCOTT LOBDELL • Art by DEXTER SOY • Cover by TREVOR HAIRSINE • Variant cover by GUILLEM MARCH Retailers: This […]
Those of you who were reading comic books in 2012 may recognise this scene from an issue of Hawkeye by Matt Fraction and David Aja, Clint Barton’s modesty maintained (in this way if in no way else) by his face, as seen in Marvel’s front cover corner boxes on West Coast Avengers. As a visual, it […]
