ome years ago at the Avengers Assemble forum I mentioned that the first FF #153 panel shown here--the group striding forth--was clearly inspired by a similar panel from 1967's Fantastic Four Annual #5. This led me to the other panels.
Sequential panels from pages 11 and 12 in 1974's Fantastic Four #153:
Sequential panels from pages 20 and 21 in 1967's Fantastic Four Annual #5:

| Fantastic Four Annual #5 (1967) Jack Kirby |
Plus: a panel from page 22.
 |
| Fantastic Four Annual #5 (1967) Kirby |
Breaking it down:
 |
Fantastic Four #153 (1974) Rich Buckler
|
 |
| Fantastic Four Annual #5 (1967) Jack Kirby |
And see the big yellow arrow in the Kirby panel? It reads:
"Special Note: We suggest you study this illustration carefully, and perhaps even file it away in some safe repository--for it is unlikely you will soon see another such awesome aggregation of raw power as now confronts your ever-lovin' eyes--!"
Looks like someone took Stan's suggestion to heart. ;)
