...it's from 1969's Fantastic Four #88! Plus, it looks like #144's Alicia and Belle Thorne, above, are based on #88's Sue and Crystal.

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?

OMG, Johnny's pose in this panel on the last page of Fantastic Four #144 looked soooo familiar. And then it hit me...

Interesting to see Johnny get more muscular / his costume more skintight, too. It's especially weird in the 70s when Mr. Fantastic gets extra beefy until (i think?) John Byrne trims him back down. I'll be curious to see if you come across any Mr. Fantastic swipes that demonstrate that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, fnord. Buckler did a good job with the Kirby balloon musculature, didn't he? I'll see what I can come up in terms of Reed.
DeleteAnd for those interested in Marvel comics--should be anyone and everyone reading this, right?--you need to check out fnord's Marvel Chronology Project--it's the best around!
