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.

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.

Okay, here's the breakdown:
