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 #143 (Pt 3) Dr. Doom's Terrible Triumph

Fantastic Four 143
Fantastic Four #143 (1974) Rich Buckler/Frank Giacoia


Fantastic Four 64-SentrySinister
Fantastic Four #64 (1967) Jack Kirby/Joe Sinnott

And sure enough,  #143's Reed and Medusa are patterned after #64's Reed and Sue!

Fun fact: Marvel's Greatest Comics #47 reprinted FF #64 with the Kirby cover slightly tweaked by John Romita Sr. and was on sale about a month prior to FF#143.

Fantastic Four #150 (Pt 4) Ultron and Ben Grimm

Fantastic Four 150-UltronOmega-Inhumans-Crystal
Fantastic Four #150 (1974) Rich Buckler
I'm sure there must be plenty of prototypes for the Ultron pose (such as in Avengers #57) as it's a fairly standard "attacking antagonist" pose, but here's the image that immediately came to mind:
Fantastic Four #71 (1968) Jack Kirby

Also, here's the Ben figure:

Also, Medusa in the #150 panel is reminiscent of Medusa in this panel from 1969's FF #82. We'll see this Medusa image used again in another issue.

Note: based on the preceding panels and the dialogue here, I think this is a pic of Johnny, but the colorist thought it was Reed.
