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?

Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 (Pt 31) Hulk, Thing, Iron Man and Sub-Mariner

Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 Hulk-Thing Battle
1974: Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 Buckler
Tales to Astonish 82 Jack Kirby
1966: Tales to Astonish #82  Kirby

Jack Kirby stepped in at the last minute and finished up the Sub-Mariner Astonish story for Gene Colan, who'd penciled a couple of pages before succumbing to the flu. Yes, even a Kirby rush job provides inspiration!

Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 (Pt 28) Pulled From the Pages of Fantastic Four #52

Giant-Size Super-Stars 1 Hulk
1974: Giant-Size Super-Stars #1  Rich Buckler
Fantastic Four 52 Panther
1966: Fantastic Four #52  Jack Kirby
Note that both panels involve the FF testing new aircraft given to them by the Black Panther. Did the penciled art remind Gerry Conway of FF #52, or was he the one who suggested the scenario/specific issue to Rich Buckler? In any event, the GSSS #1 dialogue and art provide continuity to the Lee-Kirby FF. 

Plus! I then noticed these on the same pages as above: 
1974 Giant-Size Super-Stars 1 Hulk
1974: Giant-Size Super-Stars #1
Fantastic Four 52 Stan Lee Jack Kirby
1966: Fantastic Four #52 

The panels on the pages: 
Giant-Size Super-Stars 1 Hulk Fantastic Four
Fantastic Four #52 (1966) Kirby                              Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 (1974) Buckler

Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 (Pt 20) Thing, Thor, Thundra, Hulk--and Yes, More Absorbing Man!

I immediately recognized the model for Thundra's very distinctive pose... 

Journey Into Mystery 122 Thor Kirby Absorbing Man
Giant-Size Super-Stars 1 (1974) Buckler              Journey Into Mystery 122 (1965) Kirby

....and then I came upon other panels from that same page of Journey Into Mystery #122. 
Thor Journey Into Mystery 122
Giant-Size Super-Stars 1 (1974) Buckler              Journey Into Mystery 122 (1965) Kirby

Giant-Size Super-Stars 1 (1974) Buckler     Journey Into Mystery 122 (1965) Kirby 


                 Plus! This GSSS panel from a nearby page is also based on the same JiM #122 sequence as above. 
Giant-Size Super-Stars 1 (1974) Buckler 
Journey Into Mystery 122 (1965) Kirby

The pages in question:
Panels from pages 2 and 3 from Journey Into Mystery #122 ...

...are used as templates for panels on page 19 (l.)  and page 27 (r.) 
in Giant-Size Super-Stars #1.
