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?

Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 Part 1

Sure, it's a given that a lot of scenes in GSSS #1 were inspired by Fantastic Four #25-6 (another Hulk-Thing slugfest)...so what say we take the less traveled road here. For example, here are a couple of panels from 1974's Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 that looked to 1967's Fantastic Four #68 for inspiration.
