There are other covers that are much more similar which is why it has its own section. In other instances, the pose has been repeated within the same series, with uses in Uncanny X-Men #167 and the X-Men mini-series Phoenix: Endsong. George Perez has used the 'carrying a dead loved one' pose on at least three occasions, one of which ( Mighty Mouse #4) being a direct homage to his own work on Crisis on Infinite Earths #7. It has become a popular pose for many different artists, but it has not stopped artists from repeating their own work. The Crisis-cover shows a gallery of mourning superheroes in the background, so it is quite easy to tell if a cover is a homage to the X-Men or the Crisis-cover. But there is a small difference between the two. It is alleged that the resemblance between the two and any of the ones before is completely unintentional. Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 (1985) Cover by George Perez.Uncanny X-Men #136 (1980) Cover by John Byrne.It is debatable that the inspiration is the Pietà (see 'Fine Art' below), although it is arguable since the pose isn't as strong or dynamic. It is probably impossible to determine which was the very first 'carrying a dead loved one' as there's not that many ways to stand with a dead person in your arms. However, those two issues are listed since they are two of the most recognizable homages. Neither The X-Men #136 nor Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 are the first of this kind, there's been countless variations as far back as the 1950's. Uncanny X-Men #136 & Crisis on Infinite Earths #7: The Extreme Mourning While Carrying A Dead Loved One PoseĪ really iconic cover and perhaps the most homaged one of all. Special attention should be drawn to Arthur Suydam, who has produced a large back catalog of homage covers with a bizarre yet humorous twist for the various Marvel Zombies titles. One should note that there are really only so many interesting poses the human body can make, and it's not out of the question that in some cases what appears to be a tribute may just be a coincidence. They tend to be direct tributes, although occasionally there are unintentionally alike covers. The largest portion of covers that pay homage are usually honouring the work of previous comic book covers.
This is an introduction to many different poses and styles that have been paid homage to over the years. Sometimes, the cover art on a particular issue becomes so iconic that other cover artists feel that they must pay tribute by making their own version of the image. The cover of a comic book is created to draw attention, and it is usually up to the artist to create a striking image to entice the customer to purchase the comic. Note: When possible when adding the homage cover concept to a specific issue, add a description of what it is a homage to in the description box on the issue page.
