PLAGIARISM
To most people's ears the
term Plagiarism has a negative ring to it. Still, such an act is
relatively common among artists; authors, directors, composers,
designers, etc. But comic book artists would also borrow from
each other on occasion, whether it was on purpose or unwittingly.
Barks sometimes made front covers that were at least inspired by
other artists' material, and vice versa. Here are 10 examples,
half of which were based on Barks' ideas.
