Swipe (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Swipe is comics term that refers to the intentional or unintentional copying of a cover, panel or page from an earlier comic book or graphic novel. Most commonly it is a form of homage but may also constitute plagiarism. Swipes often occur when a comic is rebooted to demonstrate continuity with earlier volumes. A common target of swipes is the first edition of a particular comic (see list below).
