Fantastic Four #118 (Pt 3) Crystal Rebuffs Johnny

1972: Fantastic Four #118 John Buscema
I love her hair here...

1970: Fantastic Four #99 Jack Kirby
...and here! 
Not swipes, it's just the way artists drew her long hair--perhaps Buscema was looking at the Kirby panel as a guide, but maybe not...what do you think?



You'll see a number of panels in #118 that are reminiscent of scenes from #99; not surprising as both issues feature Johnny seeking out Crystal.
