This scottish venetian blind manufacturer has been using a panel from watchmen for some years now. The adverts that appeared in my local paper used to include both Dan and Laurie and were obviously taken from chapter 7, page 13, panel 3.

Has anyone else ever seen any comic images in weird places?

I've seen Sara Pezzini -- without the full Witchblade costume -- in an ad for an escort company listing in the Yellow Pages here in Australia.

The image had probably been changed just enough for them to avoid a lawsuit.

I see a John Byrne Superman image slightly redrawn to help advertise a Kebab shop here in Bristol.

It is somehow quite fitting.

Well I remember hearing as long as you change the original image by a certain percentage, you can consider it new artwork and not get in trouble.

Also, rather unrelated to comics, but I just found a movie to video game swipe file today:

Terminator 1 scene / Metal Gear Solid NES US boxart
