Drowning Girl by Roy Lichtenstein, 1953. Roy Lichtenstein used the splash page of a romance story in DC Comics' Secret Hearts #83 (November 1962), lettered by Ira Schnapp, as the basis for the image

Most of his best-known artworks are relatively close, but not exact, copies of comic-book panels

The panels were changed in scale, color, treatment, and in their implications
