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 #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.
