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?

Damn, you've got a good eye!
ReplyDeleteI just checked out a bunch of Tuska/Kirby swipes from several of your other posts. I guess Tuska had to "borrow" so many Kirby shots cuz Tuska was so new to comics, huh? (And of course, that's a joke. I'm somewhat familiar with George's history in the medium.)
Ha! Yes, I was very surprised when I first started seeing Kirby stuff in Tuska's art, such as that Ghost Rider panel and FF 67 (in another post). And when I came across this Marianne Rodgers page the other day I was like hey, that's Alicia!
DeleteI imagine that since Tuska is from the generation of artists who worked in comic shops/studios aka assembly line production, for him borrowing images was a viable tool of the trade.
Tuska's is better, though
