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?

Re the Kirby-Kane Caps: I came across these two Tales of Suspense panels some years ago in Arlen Schumer's fascinating book The Silver Age of Comic Book Art.  As many Marvelites know, back in the 1960s Stan Lee wanted new Marvel artists to study Jack Kirby's work and/or draw over Kirby layouts, so that the artists would get the hang of the dynamic Marvel house style. Kane seems to have had no problem doing just that, as well as adding his own distinctive style to the art!
