Comic book movies and television shows have done a great job of recreating iconic art work from popular titles and moments originally represented in comic book form.

Shows like The Walking Dead have brought several fan-favorite scenes to word-for-word and beat-for-beat life on television, being ripped straight from the pages of Robert Kirkman's comics. Then there are moments like the cover of The Dark Knights Returns being featured in an epic fight between DC's biggest heroes in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Now, one Marvel fan has put together some epic art which reimagines moments from Marvel Studios films and TV shows as comic book covers.

The following designs were created by Wendell Macapagal.

Civil War

Captain America: Civil War was based on the epic Marvel Comics event series Civil War.

While certain moments from the series were left out of the books due to characters rights issues and other organic moments not fitting into the scheme created by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios did manage to get Spider-Man into the mix at the last minute and also recreate one of the title's most iconic covers.

Issue 7 of Civil War saw Tony Stark and Steve Rogers epic battle with Tony's Iron Man suit blasting Captain America's shield. The moment was perfectly recreated by the Russo Brothers direction in the third act of the film.

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider was revamped in Marvel Comics under the Marvel Now! era. Shortly after that, he was realized in live action on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.

Portrayed by Gabriel Luna on the ABC series, Robbie Reyes take the show by storm for a few episodes and is set to return in the Season 4 finale. Previously, Ghost Rider had been portrayed by Nicholas Cage in a couple of self-titled films but the Agents of SHIELD version has been received to an overwhelmingly more positive audience.

Ghost Rider #1, seen on the left side of the image, was released in 2014.

Daisy Johnson

Originally starting out as a low-level field agent on Agents of SHIELD, Chloe Bennett's Skye character has evolved into her better known form and name of Daisy Johnson -- a.k.a. Quake.

In this comparison, Quake is seen on the cover of Marvel's Secret Warriors, opposite Bennett's portrayal on Agents of SHIELD. Brian Michael Bendis and Johathan Hickman's ongoing series (with art from Stefano Caselli) has proven to be a major source of inspiration for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television show. At the center of Secret Warriors is the pseudo father/daughter relationship between Fury and Johnson (similar to what Skye/Daisy and Agent Phil Coulson have in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

The Winter Soldier

Captain America: The Winder Soldier brought the battle between old pals Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers to life in one of the most fan-favorited Marvel Studios production to date.

The story, directed by the Russo Brothers, saw Captain America coming face to face with his best friend he thought dead following the events of Captain America: The First Avenger. On the left side of this awesome comparison is Ed Brubaker's Captain America Comics #14 as published in 2006. On the right, the live-action version of the cover pulls images from both Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
