A mirror image of the Buscema art was was used for the cover of Tales to Astonish volume 2  #1, so here's another pair to compare and contrast:

Patsy Walker and Sue Richards-Defenders #51, Fantastic Four #48-Textbook Pose

I saw this Patsy Walker panel online and was immediately reminded of Kirby's panel from Fantastic Four #48.

1966: Fantastic Four #48 Jack Kirby

X-Men #34 and Dan Adkins

1967's X-Men #34 was an early Marvel penciling assignment for Dan Adkins, and back then the fanzines quickly pointed out just how heavily he'd relied on reference--check out just a few examples below (there are many more in the issue; take a look through it). Naturally Adkins looked to the Kirby X-Men issues for guidance--but guess what comic the second panel (Angel flying) is based on.

1967: X-Men #34  Dan Adkins

Okay, here's the breakdown:

1967: X-Men #34  DanAdkins

Yes, the pose is a standard one. Adkins repositions Angel a bit.

1965: X-Men #11  Jack Kirby

1967: X-Men #34 Adkins

1964: Tales of Suspense #60  Jack Kirby

1967: X-Men #34 Dan Adkins

1964: X-Men #8  Jack Kirby

1967: X-Men #34  Dan Adkins

1965: X-Men #10  Jack Kirby

Go to the head of the class if you remembered that Panel 2 has been featured on Panelocity😏
