Maroto was accused of plagiarism of some illustrations from Tarzan and Prince Valiant (Hal Foster), Idyl (Jeff Jones), Flash Gordon (Alex Raymond) and more others. However, the practice of copying other artists, or a "swipe (comics)," is a long time-honored practice in comic books. Fans have long enjoyed the detective work of spotting swipes.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“As far as criticism is concerned, we don’t resent that unless it is absolutely biased, as it is in most cases.”
—John Vorster (1915–1983)
“Nothing would improve newspaper criticism so much as the knowledge that it was to be read by men too hardy to acquiesce in the authoritative statement of the reviewer.”
—Richard Holt Hutton (1826–1897)
