Jack Kirby: Panel from Marvel Comic's The Eternals #8 (February 1977) showing the Deviant City
and
The Pink Panther and the Inspector #15 (Published by Gold Key 1st October 1973)

a) Panel from Marvel Comic's The Eternals #8 (February 1977) by Jack Kirby showing the Deviant City

b) The cover of Pink Panther And The Inspector #15 (1973)

c) The form of the Pink Panther becomes absorbed into the illustration

d) The pink panther's face becomes the distant architecture

e) Here the pink panther's arm fits in with the exhaust trail of the red vehicle travelling under water

f) The Inspector becomes the pillar, in view that I've decided that he and the lower part of the pillar both reference a skull form from Betrothal of Two Classic Edifices (1943) by James Gleeson. His nose becomes a serpent like loop to the right of the pillar

g) The inspectors face and comparable part of pillar decoration

h) the handle of the lemonade jug becomes a tunnel entrance

 i) Jug handle and tunnel entrance
