Two masters at work here--Kirby and Kane!
 |
| 1969: Fantastic Four #83 Jack Kirby |

| 1976: Inhumans #6 Gil Kane |
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!
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?

I wouldn't have spotted this in a million years. But it's pretty clear what Kane did here. Nice catch.
ReplyDeleteIt was probably Kane's first crack at the Inhumans so it's natural he would look to the older Kirby FF-Inhumans issues to familiarize himself with the characters and settings. Love how he imbued the panels with his own Kaneian brand of dynamism.
