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?

Giant-Size Super-Stars #1 (Pt 20) Thing, Thor, Thundra, Hulk--and Yes, More Absorbing Man!

I immediately recognized the model for Thundra's very distinctive pose...

....and then I came upon other panels from that same page of Journey Into Mystery #122.

                 Plus! This GSSS panel from a nearby page is also based on the same JiM #122 sequence as above.

The pages in question:

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:  
Fantastic Four 153-WorldsInCollision
                                 
Fantastic Four 153-WorldsInCollision

Sequential panels from pages 20 and 21 in 1967's Fantastic Four Annual #5:
Fantastic Four Annual 5-DivideandConquer
Fantastic Four Annual 5-KingSizeSpecial
Fantastic Four Annual #5 (1967) Jack Kirby
Plus:  a panel from page 22. 
Fantastic Four Annual 5-DivideandConquer
Fantastic Four Annual #5 (1967) Kirby
                                     

Breaking it down: 

Fantastic Four 153-Worlds-In-Collision
Fantastic Four #153 (1974) Rich Buckler

Fantastic Four Annual 5-Inhumans-BlackPanther
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. ;)
