Did Peter Max influence Jim Steranko, or was it the other way ‘round?

Steranko “combined the figurative dynamism of Jack Kirby with modern design concepts”, wrote Larry Hama. When Steranko took over the series, he recostumed Fury from suits and ties to “a form-fitting bodysuit with numerous zippers and pockets, like a Wally Wood spacesuit revamped by Pierre Cardin. The women were clad in form-fitting black leather a la Emma Peel in the Avengers TV show. The graphic influences of Peter Max, Op Art and Andy Warhol were embedded into the design of the pages — and the pages were designed as a whole, not just as a series of panels. All this, executed in a crisp, hard-edged style, seething with drama and anatomical tension”.[18]
