The published cover is obviously a Super Friends swipe. The unused cover is obviously a swipe of Giant Size X-Men. I know that. Everyone knows that. If it WASN'T obvious, they wouldn't be very effective swipes. Avengers63, I don't get what the confusion is. The published cover is obviously a Super Friends swipe.

I don't know if that image was first used in the comics or the show or the merchandizing or what. But my point is it's still a DC reference rather than a Marvel one. Ian,

Unless it was a cover to a Super Friends tie-in, I guess.

It’s a cool cover, but isn’t the one they used, a swipe of a vintage DC cover, more appropriate than a swipe of a vintage Marvel cover?

I don't mind at all if the art is stylized, as in this case. So what if the background characters look odd... they're apparently supposed to. It's not that often we see a cross-publisher swipe. As long as it's done respectfully, and due credit is given, this is a nice show of respect. I always like a well done cover swipe. I don't mind at all if the art is stylized, as in this case.
