Mark Brooks drew this upcoming cover, and credited Barry Windsor Smith with the original:

However, the image he's homaging isn't by BWS at all, but by JRJR:
http://comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=41957&zoom=4

So, does it count as a swipe if the swiper doesn' know where he swiped it from? ;)

Brilliant. Using that.

Yeah, I f'ed up but fixed it very soon after. The problem was that Marvel used the first version I sent for the solicitations instead of the second corrected version. The print copy will show the correct homage credit. All respect to John Romita Jr.

Hey, Mark. I like how your art has taken a little bit of a darker turn lately. Is it something that you've been doing consciously, or is more the inker/colorist?

Okay. Not using that then. 8-)

In that case, it's almost worse; you can be forgiven for not knowing who did the original, but Marvel have editors for exactly that kind of thing. ;)
