Swipe is a comics term that refers to the intentional copying of a cover, panel, or page from an earlier comic book or graphic novel without crediting the original artist.
^^according to wikipedia.
Please list some blatant examples of mangaka ever swiping, "cloning" other artist style or plagiarizing storylines/characters from other mangkas.
I remember a long time ago, I came across an manga that resemble the art style of Dragon Ball's Akira Toriyama with the main character looking like the kid Goku, save a short haircut style. Does anyone know what the manga I'm talking about because I would like to know?
