Rob's Room: Justice League Copycat Covers by Kevin Maguire

Updated 12/13/24
 
Thanks to Scifismartass for pointing out that this Marvel Age #32 cover by Paul Smith (circa 1983) pre-dates Kevin Maguire's Justice League cover.  Am curious to know if it was inspiration or coincidence?  If you have any insight, please chime it!

    Great entry! The Giffen JL and G.I. Joe are two of my faves so I did a mash-up sketch cover last year. :-) https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16388189_10155027912699923_4507053144647790664_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.xx&oh=454d001c34e1c7c474eb08911a3bce92&oe=5C752DBA

    The X-M/AF Marvel Age cover by Paul Smith pre-dates Justice League #1 (1987) by 1-2 years (1985), but I love the similarity.

    Haha! Didn't even notice that... Marvel Age #32 is from 1983 according to The Google, so it is well ahead of JL#1! Thanks for keeping us honest, Scifismartass! :)

    Glad to help, I love the inclusion. Maybe an inspiration for Maguire? :)

    I haven't done a formal scan, but here's a sketch cover I did of one of my favorite covers of all time. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6y9boloztp2lsva/Cobra_Nation.jpg?dl=0

    By the way, the G.I. Joe sketchcard set homage to Jim Lee's X-Men #1 was mine as well. :-)
