Are those guys Fury is fighting supposed to look like Harvey Pekar?

Yeah, quite possibly.

About the Marvel Boy #2: I’m pretty sure there are other easter eggs hidden in the screens too. In the middle panel in the bottom you see what looks like Mister Miracle who’s been miscoloured to look like The Vision. And I’m pretty sure the spaceship in the lower right corner is a reference to something too, though I can’t remember where’s I’ve seen it before… The green robot thing to the left of the Teletubbies looks familiar as well, thoughe he migth be an existing Marvel character?

Also, in the Rorscach panel you can see Nite Owl’s jaw and shoulder as well.

And underneath the Teletubbies you can see Batman’s face.

Oh yeah, the Marvel Boy bit has tons of extra bits. I just liked the Teletubbies one especially (and, obviously, the Rorschach one I noted because of the Watchmen theme).

Is that a Comedian’s smiley reflected in the pool in Violator’s cover (bottom right)?

Is the spaceship form Farscape? I think so.
I suggested a Rorscharch easter egg to Brian. If it didn’t turn up her it probably never will so here goes. Bottom right of the page 3 of ASM 678. Interesting because it is movie version and the bird poo is the only proof that it was intentional.

John Cassaday must have a real soft spot for the 70s Marvel movies. He also has the Peter Hooten Dr. Strange on the other end of the panel, just underneath the upside-down guy. Coloring’s all wrong so you’d never know it if you didn’t know the outfit… and having the Reb Brown Cap there as well makes it more than coincidence, I think.

At the risk of sounding childish, that Violator cover sure is icky.

Am I the only idiot who can’t see the words “Hollis Maso”?

@Dave: Looks to me like they’re either Harvey Pekar or Reid Fleming, World’s Toughest Milkman.

I think that’s Doctor Sivana at Nick Fury’s elbow.

That is Farscape 1 on the screen.

That’s a police cap in the LR corner of the spawn pic. The gold is a dage.

Godfrey – it’s definitely just you. But, er, just to be nice to you (and not because I can’t find it either or anything), maybe somebody else could point out where it is?

I don’t think that’s a pool of anything on the Violator cover, it’s a policeman’s cap.

Just zoom in and look at the shadow a little above the manhole cover with the comedian smiley

Or the policemen’s cap, that’s what it is, lol

Godfrey and sean, I couldn’t find the Hollis Maso either until I clicked on the image to make it bigger (and maybe click again to make sure it’s full size.) Then I hit Ctrl-A and I could finally read it.

I’m pretty sure the Violator had one of those happy face pins in the Spawn movie.

interesting to see Alan moore had no problem with his artist on Violator doing some easter eggs to watchman given his feelings on it. plus find it interesting the Roarshache would be snuck in a riot in x-men .

Batman is on that Marvel Boy page as well.

Wow, that’s tiny! My screen isn’t great with little bits of white in big swaths of black, if you don’t look at exactly the right angle, it just looks like various shades of black.

chad – I would be surprised if Moore ever looked closely at the art for any of his Image work.

In re that Dr. Strange pic, it looks like John Holmes doing a porn super-hero spoof.

I see that the scan doesn’t do it justice. I tried again, but it just won’t scan well (since it is so faint).

Good thing, DC was blind on its “stolen” property and never sued Marvel for copyright infringement!

Damn, I didn’t realize it would scan so poorly. When you see the comic itself, it POPS out at you, and that’s what I first noticed when I was looking at it. Then I saw the Nostalgia bottle, and figured it was worth an Easter Egg.

I don’t think there’s a smiley, but maybe I’m wrong. I think people are seeing the police badge on the hat.

(Hollis Mason was a cop, right? The implication of the cover, therefore, is that Violator just ate him.)

(Because the Violator mini is way betterer than that stinkin’ Watchmen )

Based on the Crazed Spruce’s comment, I totally want to see a new Reid Fleming issue where he fights Harvey Pekar clones. Oy, the kvetching!

Kingdom Come has a that Hollis Mason book sitting in one of the windows of a book shop. Can’t recall the page. Is it “Under the Hood”? Can’t remember the title.
