TIDALWAVE COMICS ARE PROUD TO PRESENT A SERIES OF AMAZING HOMAGE COMIC BOOK COVERS

Since November, 2023, I began posting a series of monthly articles showcasing a specific selection of comic book covers (click here to read the first in the series). But not conventional comic book covers. Instead, these covers, generally referred to as homage covers, reflect or imitate memorable and some say iconic comic book covers originally published by either DC or Marvel Comics. In fact, homage covers have become so popular over the years, that our pals at TidalWave Comics have decided to produce them fairly regularly. Here 👇, check out the following image gallery to see some of these covers, alongside their original counterparts.
