Where do you get your ideas? Well, if you are drawing comics in the 1950s, you borrow them. From the Pulps.
Here’s a case where the comic came first. House of Mystery #44 (November 1955) appeared seven years before Fantastic (February 1962).

Take a look at Marvel. Stan Lee took every character he ever created from the pulp. I called a radio show in the 90’s when he was being interview and complemented him on the X-Men cartoon, but when I segued into asking about his influence from the pulps . . . “click”
I wish that the covers were able to be saved.
