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?

Thor #227 - Thunder God, Human Torch

Thor #227 was published at around the same time as Fantastic Four #150 and had the same creative team, Gerry Conway and Rich Buckler.  As mentioned, like his FF run Buckler's 1974 Thor run relied heavily on Kirby swipes.  Here, #227 Thor's details are clearly based on the well-known Thunder God splash in Thor #124.

But I think there was another Kirby page used as a model here too. Take a look at the positioning of the background figures and the curved shape of the Torch's and Thor's torsos--these point me to this Fantastic Four #89 splash.
