Atomman Swipe

Al Barrett's inspiration comes mainly from Marvel comics and of course Hulk but we saw other influences with "The Wedding Cover" on this blog.We also saw "Atomman vs The US Army" so here are a few others
although slight variations could lead to other origin for the covers...

To ensure sucsess,Al opted for this "swipe" as his very first issue in September of 2009.

As we can see,it's not always Hulk that is the inspiration,the Fantastic Four is also a favorite of his along with Spider-Man,Iron-Man and Captain America.This is # 27 released in November 2011.

The "swipe" is obvious here once again,tribute to Marvel and the Hulk character,an hommage to the comic books of his childhood. This was released May 2010.

The next image shows 2 covers
both can be linked to the original one featuring Modok that inspired the character :The Eye.
# 8 and 14 were released:April 2010 and October 2010.

We finish this selection with another great adaptation for # 19 in March 2011;as for the first 10 issues,only
number 1,8,9 and 10 were "swipes",all the others were originals.These are the obvious ones but many other influences can be discovered as the reader stroll down the covers.
Giving his respect to the founders,the idols of his youth.Already 30 issues of Atomman and more in the making...
