Spider-Man 50 and The Incredible Hulk Poster

Our friends at io9 have noticed a similarities between the new poster for The Incredible Hulk and the cover of The Amazing Spider-Man #50. I’m guessing that this homage was probably intentional. The image also might seem familiar to those of you who have seen Spider-Man 2, as the issue’s storyline “Spider-Man No More!” was used as part of that Spider-Man film adaptation. Others have noticed that the poster is also similar to the poster for Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, pictured below.

We’ve also included a large scan of The Amazing Spider-Man #50 for your viewing pleasure:

    I noticed this as soon as I saw the first poster, but figured Marvel was doing it intentionally.

    Geez…what a pack of idiots people are. Ripping off a comic book cover or a poster? Net nerds will find a conspiracy anywhere…

    Listen guys….when you want to compare a big guy and a little guy in the same space…..YOU PUT THEM BACK TO BACK!!!! The artists who drew that Spider-Man cover DID NOT INVENT THIS!!!!

    Putting his head down? Yeah, last time I checked people have portrayed somber characters with their heads down.

    Why do people over-analyze the crap out of everything?

    you might also notice that the same design was used on a previous issue of The Incredible Hulk and also was used as a Variant Cover for Marvel Zombies

    Marvel has copied Spiderman #50 numerous times.

    Take a gander at Howard the Duck #19 from 1977:
