Protective coverings used to bind together the pages of a book are sometimes intentionally copied with what type of written work?
Homage cover (comics) Homage cover is a comics term that refers to the intentional copying of a cover from an earlier comic book or graphic novel that references the original artist. Homages often occur when a comic is rebooted to demonstrate continuity with earlier volumes. A common target of homage is the first edition of a particular comic (see list below).
History of scrolls A scroll (from the Old French "escroe" or "escroue"), is a roll of papyrus, parchment, or paper containing writing. The history of scrolls dates back to ancient Egypt. In most ancient literate cultures scrolls were the earliest format for longer documents written in ink or paint on a flexible background, preceding bound books; rigid media such as clay tablets were also used but had many disadvantages in comparison. For most purposes scrolls have long been superseded by the codex book format, but they are still produced for some ceremonial or religious purposes, notably for the Jewish Torah scroll for use in synagogues.
