The 1972 Kane ...I'm inclined to agree with you. The 1972 Kane cover clearly inspired the 1974 Captain Marvel cover, but the ongoing swipe-homage exhange between the two cosmic characters makes me think on reflection that Byrne was remembering Starlin's own homage to Kane's earlier effort. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-69017729321942218392012-10-29T02:11:09.394-04:002012-10-29T02:11:09.394-04:00Practice makes perfect!

In place of the Ghost, it was the introduction of Nitro in Starlin's farewell issue on the book.

I don't always make those connections. <br />Chimeradavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373236451090168388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-16951321837224465842012-10-28T07:28:26.233-04:002012-10-28T07:28:26.233-04:00Al Milgrom's renditions of the classic charact...Al Milgrom's renditions of the classic characters is a tad off model. The Captain Marvel-Captain Atom similarity is something I've remarked on many times before. It's clear that Starlin and later Milgrom were evoking the classic Ditko hero when they revamped Mar-Vell. <br /><br />But now that you mention it, The Ghost on that cover does look like a variant of the Vision with Spidey-eyes. Hmmm.<br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-72117517294448318832012-10-28T07:00:55.792-04:002012-10-28T07:00:55.792-04:00Good lord--is that Spider-Vision vs. Captain Marve...Good lord--is that Spider-Vision vs. Captain Marvel on <i>The Charlton Bullseye</i> cover? :)Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.com
