After looking at hundreds of comic book covers, it becomes quickly apparent that not every cover is 100% original. Whether done intentionally or even underhandedly, there’s something about uncovering these “swipes” that adds a new element of fun to reading and collecting comics.

In 2009, Marvel launched a series of Wolverine variant covers to coincide with the box office release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The variant of Amazing Spider-Man #590 swiped one of the famous Dogs Playing Poker paintings by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, entitled A Bold Bluff.
