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 #144 (Pt 27) Krrak!

Fantastic Four 56 Stan Lee-Jack Kirby
1966: Fantastic Four #56  Jack Kirby
Fantastic Four 144 Conway-Buckler
1974: Fantastic Four #144  Buckler
Fun fact: Both KRRAK!s were lettered by artful Artie Simek. 

Next up: the estimable Giant-Size Super-Stars #1, published in February 1974.  I think you'll be surprised by several of the source panels, especially the ones involving the mighty Thundra.

Fantastic Four #144 (Pt 26) Human Torch: Three on a Match

Human Torch sequence from FF #144:
Fantastic Four 144 Conway Buckler
Fantastic Four #144  (1974) Buckler

The breakdown:
Fantastic Four 90 Jack Kirby
The 144 panel (l.) is almost a mirror image of  1969's Fantastic Four 90 (r.) 

Fantastic Four 81 Elemental Crystal
Fantastic Four 144 (1974) Buckler       Fantastic Four 81 (1968) Kirby

Fantastic Four 99 Inhumans Jack Kirby
Fantastic Four 144 (1974) Buckler       Fantastic Four 99 (1970) Kirby                 

The #99 Kirby panel is an old reliable, rather generic Torch standard. For example, check it out in Fantastic Four #153.

Fantastic Four #144 (Pt 20) Pulled From the Pages of Fantastic Four #65

                       Fantastic Four 144 Attack DrDoom
                        1974: Fantastic Four #144  Rich Buckler
Fantastic Four 65 Jack Kirby
1967: Fantastic Four #65  Jack Kirby
 

Then I noticed these panels on the same pages as the panels above.
Fantastic Four 144 Rich Buckler Art
Fantastic Four 144 (1974)
Fantastic Four 65 Ronan Accuser Kree
Fantastic Four 65 (1967) 













The panels in context: 
Fantastic Four 144 BronzeAge
Sequence from Fantastic Four #144 (1974) Buckler
Fantastic Four 65 Kree Ronan Accuser
Sequence from Fantastic Four #65 (1967) Kirby

And do you think Johnny's hunched-over, awkward pose in #144's bottom left corner was a riff on Reed's pose in #65's bottom left corner?
