Sorry for the terrible color separation in that Annual #5 panel! However, I think you can still see how the panels line up in terms of composition, not only Ben (obvious), but also the corresponding Johnnys and Reed vis-à-vis Black Bolt.

Fantastic Four #153 (Pt 14) Medusa, Mahkizmo and the Inhumans

Here are some panels in Fantastic Four #153 that are based on 1966's FF #47. You remember #47--it was part of the fabled Lee-Kirby Silver Age arc that introduced Medusa's relatives, the incomparable Inhumans!

These next two may look familiar--I posted them some years ago at the Avengers Assemble forum.  But you can never have too much Medusa!

Fantastic Four #153 (Pt 7) Divide and Conquer aka Fantastic Four Annual 5!

Some years ago at the Avengers Assemble forum I mentioned that the first FF #153 panel shown here--the group striding forth--was clearly inspired by a similar panel from 1967's Fantastic Four Annual #5. This led me to the other panels. 

Sequential panels from pages 11 and 12 in 1974's Fantastic Four #153:  

                                 

Sequential panels from pages 20 and 21 in 1967's Fantastic Four Annual #5:

Plus:  a panel from page 22.

Breaking it down: 

Fantastic Four #153 (1974) Rich Buckler

Fantastic Four Annual #5 (1967) Jack Kirby

And see the big yellow arrow in the Kirby panel? It reads:
"Special Note: We suggest you study this illustration carefully, and perhaps even file it away in some safe repository--for it is unlikely you will soon see another such awesome aggregation of raw power as now confronts your ever-lovin' eyes--!"

Looks like someone took Stan's suggestion to heart. ;)
