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?

Fantastic Four #151 (Pt 9) Thundra and Lightning--and Crystal

Yeah, these look similar mostly due to the Sinnott-inked faces. But there's also the matter of the elongated arms. What do you think?

Fantastic Four #151 (Pt 4) Ben Is Bustin' Out All Over

Back in 1974, Marvel's Greatest Comics #51, which reprinted FF #68,  was on sale at the same time as Fantastic Four #150--so, about a month prior to FF #151 hitting the stands. I wonder, did readers of both mags connect the dots and notice the source panel?

At any rate, fans seemed to have really enjoyed the art on this mid-70s FF run. The Buckler-Sinnott Kirbyesque art was often lauded in the FF letter columns; and as one letter writer put it in Fantastic Four #164: "It's Rich Buckler's tribute to the style and excellence of the F.F. in their former day of greatness."

Fantastic Four #151 (Pt 3) Ben and Johnny, Two For the Road

This one's a combo. The trench-coated Ben seems to be adapted from FF #68, while Johnny is from #44.

Plus, because FF #68 is used above, I feel it's the inspiration for this panel too.

Fantastic Four #151 (Pt 2) The Salesman

The salesman in FF #151 reminded me of the (fake) Dr. Santini in #68.

Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 Part 1

Sure, it's a given that a lot of scenes in GSSS #1 were inspired by Fantastic Four #25-6 (another Hulk-Thing slugfest)...so what say we take the less traveled road here. For example, here are a couple of panels from 1974's Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 that looked to 1967's Fantastic Four #68 for inspiration.
