Cover Contest for 1/18/17 to 1/24/17 - Homage Sweet Homage

[Iron Maiden]

For this contest I am looking for covers that are an homage. It can be an homage to another comic book cover or some other work of art. Movie posters are allowed also so I'm giving a lot of options. I am also posting the inspiration to the cover but you don't have to. Just say the title and issue #/cover artist if its a comic or the title of the source it its not a comic book. Have fun!





THE SOURCE (note artist Pat Broderick's Kirby credit near Doom's boot)

The portrait of Luthor itself is based on this one of Churchill.

Sorry, but that cover was inspired this portrait of Winston Churchill.

Trump was still an empty suit at the time (still is).

The black border cover was not unique at that time.

Except every one of the creators of the book (from editorial on down) have said at one time or another the entire book was inspired by/parody of the Trump book because Luthor of the Man of Steel revamp era was inspired in large part by corporate raiders like Trump of the time. So the inspiration/homage was carried out not just on the cover level but for the very inspiration for the project as a whole, so yes it is inspired/homage to the Trump book.

This cover to a pretty fun series is an homage to the box art from the first Sonic game in 1991.

Done so soon after the Spider-Man issue came out, too. Shameless, Todd! Absolutely shameless! Gotta love the 'After ME' credit, though.

[LordMikel]

This Batman comic paying homage to Darkwing Duck. Who poses better is the question.
