Many of you have let me know that some of my image pairings & arrangements pop up in other venues such as Facebook Swipe groups (esp. the great COMICS SWIPES Facebook group). Well, I'm flattered the posts are popular and that people enjoy PANELOCITY's swipes and "inspired bys", regardless of where they are presented. After all, the Internet is meant for sharing, right?

Fantastic Four #142

This has been posted before, but what the heck! Let's take another look at Rich Buckler's homage to an iconic Kirby panel. This is the last page of 1974's Fantastic Four #142,  Buckler's first issue as the regular FF penciler.

And here's Jack Kirby's page 14 from 1969's FF #87. You've got to love the mouth-watering details in Kirby's work! As many have noted, some years later there was a rather similar-looking scene in a certain very famous sci fi megahit movie. ;)

Buckler's Doom was immortalized on the Marvel Value Stamp. 


#142's Medusa and her head-tilt may be based on #87's Sue here.
