How about it, folks--can anyone out there ID the source for Mahkizmo in the Fantastic Four #153 panel?  As for Ben, Reed and Johnny, check this out. 

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!

Fantastic Four #47 (1966) Jack Kirby

                               

Fantastic Four #153 Buckler

Fantastic Four #47 Kirby

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 #47 Kirby

Fantastic Four #153 (Pt 5) Mahkizmo, Thundra, Rama-Tut--But Where's the Mutated Blood-Slug?!

You've probably seen a few of these panels before, as this sequence from 1974's FF #153 has frequently been cited as a textbook example of Kirby-inspired art.

Hmmm, could Mahkizmo be the missing link in that Doom/Rama-Tut/Kang/Immortus chain? ;)

Panelocity Plus! Check out Mar-Vell decking his foe in Alex Ross's fanciful montage of the Kree-Skrull War from Marvels #4. Yes, I know it's a standard pose--but it reminded me of that Subby-Ben FF#9 panel. Anyway, Mar-Vell sure looked good delivering that uppercut!
