If you saw the thumbnail image of the above cover in your blog- list and thought "Hey, that looks familiar!" then you were right. The layout was first used for the cover of The X-MEN #1, and has been 'homaged' a few times since then, some examples of which I've shown all you panting Criv-ites before.
Still, doesn't hurt to show another one now, does it?

Well spotted, I might not have noticed, had you not brought it to our attention.
Thanks, but I think everyone will have noticed, JP, if they're familiar with X-Men #1.
Do you follow the Marvel University blog? I find a lot of their comments sneering and destructive about comics that I have fond memories of, but it's still interesting to see all the covers month by month. Anyhow, a recent comment on that blog pointed out that the cover of Tomb of Dracula #36 is an obvious homage to the original Hulk #3 from 1962 - one of the more unlikely examples of Comic Covers Snap!
I don't think I've seen that one, Andrew - I'll check it out. Thanks.
I was distracted by Thor's pink cape.
That is an interesting comparison Andrew.
It was the Thor cover I hadn't seen before. ( The "big disappearing act", - yet again! )
I've still to check it out, Baab. Now it's interesting as well as unlikely? I can't wait to see it.

You mean that out of all the Thor covers, that's the only one you've not seen before, JP? Amazing!
I love the Frenz version of Excalibur here- they feel really Mighty Marvel, instead of a quirky, 2000 AD-lite adjunct.
Frenz is a great artist, Dougie, and very 'Marvel', as you say. I also loved his art on Superman back in the '90s.
