I’d say the cover of Elektra Assassin #4 is a hommage to Leyendeckers painting “Honeymoon”. Check out the little guy in the upper left corner, the flowers, the frame…
Yeah, but Mr Sienkiewicz is so good, he is allowed to take a shortcut here and there 😉 … Those eight issues of Elektra Assassin are among the best comics I ever read!

One of the high points of Sienkiewicz’s career, for sure.
