Comic book swipes and homages, along with art that appears to have been--at least in part!-- inspired by other art. And there's lots of the Silver Age Fantastic Four here because that was just about my favorite comic book back then!
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?

Once again just posting to say how much I enjoy your site. I was reading a George Perez interview where he talks of his big break, helping Rich Buckler: When I was working with Rich, I didn't get to do all that much beyond look for Jack Kirby references for his Thor and Fantastic Four references." That made me LOL, and I thought of Panelocity. Maybe you should do an entry just quoting Perez. Most of his interviews can be found by Googling "Perez" and "Buckler" and restricting the search to "books"
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, glad you're enjoying this! And yes, I think I have seen the quote you're referring to. The thing is, Perez also made frequent use of Kirby reference back then, at least in his early work as penciler on the 1970s Inhumans and Fantastic Four features. I have some Perez (among other artists) queued up for later this year, so stay tuned.
