Detective Comics 8 / Atomic Comics 1

Classic Covers Homage Covers Comic Book Cover Swipes
This is pre super-hero definitive CLASSIC COVER and has been since the dawn of Comic Fandom. Detective Comics 8 was released in late August of 1937 with a cover date of October. The Cover is by Craig Flessel, who worked on a lot of DC Covers including issues 2-19 of Detective Comics but most notable in my mind is this cover as well as a couple of other pre Super-Hero(Action 1) titles. While copies are very rare, they do surface.

 
Atomic Comics #1 was released in 1946 by Green Publishing as the first of a 4 issue run.  Issue 2(Voodoo 1 or Prize Comics maybe?) and 3 are cover swipes as well, and to be clear this issue is a straight swipe, not paying homage. A couple interesting side notes, the first being that this issue featured reprints of Radio Squad comic strips by Joel Siegel and Jerry Shuster which were created before Superman.  The second is that this was also released by Daniels Publications with a different cover in Canada.
