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 #169 (Pt 3) More From Fantastic Four #79

As we saw last time, FF #79 was used for reference. Here's another example, though this one is more of an "inspired by."

In #169's opening panel (above) Ben remembers his glory days from Fantastic Four #77 (below).  I also included the adjacent panel because I wanted to display the full impact of Ben's BTAMM!

In #169's splash, Reed and Sue are based on  a panel from Fantastic Four #45.

Fantastic Four #168 (Pt 8) From Fantastic Four #54

Fantastic Four 54 Panther
1966: Fantastic Four #54  Jack Kirby
Fantastic Four 168 Luke Cage
1976: Fantastic Four #168  Rich Buckler


Love.This.One. Why? Well, Fantastic Four #54 was one of the first back issues I ever had. It filled in a lot of the FF's history for me, as it featured not only the FF but also the Black Panther (T'Challa's in the first panel above), the Inhumans, and Wyatt Wingfoot.  It remains one of my most cherished comics!
