[edit] The List

I'm not sure how this list should grow but it would be good to list the targets of swipes as well as those issues which swipe another cover. Maybe a table? Journeyman 07:34, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Usage of Swipe vs. Homage

Homage and swipe are two separate concepts and the combination of their use here is incorrect. Homages are greatly accepted by all comic artists and considered respectful. It's also pretty common to acknowledge the original artist in the credits. A swipe is a complete uncredited tracing of stealing of another artist work. It is frown upon greatly and has in some cases ruined people's career's when revealed. I suggest separating them and acknowledging the difference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.64.19.75 (talk) 11:35, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
