And sure enough, #143's Reed and Medusa are patterned after #64's Reed and Sue!

Comic book swipes and homages, along with art that appears to have been--at least in part!-- inspired by other art. And there's lots of the Silver Age Fantastic Four here because that was just about my favorite comic book back then!

Some of your examples are obvious in that they seem like direct tracings or almost clip art. This is obvious (when it's right in front of my face) for different reasons. Your blog has gotten me thinking that all new super-hero comic artists should be required to spend a year or two swiping Kirby before branching out on their own, so that they learn the crafts of layouting and storytelling.
