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?

Ah, but you were probably already familiar with that Iron Man image; it was used as Shellhead's corner pic from 1967-1975. Examples:

And lol--he's lost some hair, but doesn't he look like the same doctor who treated Reed Richards in 1964? ;)

Giant-Size Avengers #1 (Pt 19) Magneto, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver

Buckler's GSA #1 panel (r.) evokes the famous X-Men #4 cover.

                       X-Men #4 (1964)                                                                  


And yes, on the X-Men cover here (and on X-Men #5), Wanda the Scarlet Witch is clad in green. Back then Quicksilver was the one with a green costume, but on the cover he's miscolored in blue. 

Snappy Stan's response (in reply to reader's letter in X-Men #7 pointing out the incorrect colors on the covers): "Sometimes we change a costume's color on the cover to balance the design a bit."  So now you know!
