Part of that is the trick of perspective, as the three on the right are several feet ahead of the rest. If Logan caught up he'd probably be maybe like 2 inches taller than Emma. Kitty meanwhile looks absolutely tiny, and Hank's enormous, being even farther behind than the other two.
The thing is that the art doesn't communicate this at all. Even removing the shadows which suggest that Logan is no more than a step behind Emma (and actually FORWARD of Storm), their bodies are doing all sorts of weird perspective things if you look only at the top or bottom halves of their bodies.

Specifically:
-Emma's shadow and feet suggest she's a little bit ahead of Scott (maybe half a step), but her torso is roughly the same distance from the camera. She might be pulling his arm forward a little, but this isn't really communicated well, if at all.

-Storm is a little bit behind Scott, with her front foot about to land between where his are placed. This mostly works, though her shoulder would probably be hitting his tricep if that were the case.

-Wolverine's front foot is similarly about to drop midway between Emma's feet, but if that were the case, there'd be no room for her cape to be fluttering around and he'd be hitting her rear end with his arm.

-Kitty's front foot is no more than even with Logan's front foot, and really looks to be forward of it, meanwhile her arm is behind his, so she's either throwing it way behind her for no reason or her torso is drawn behind his.

-Beast is very obviously behind Kitty and Logan except his shadow is showing him to be at about the same spot as Logan.

Sorry, I know it's a classic from a different era and maybe this was great then but I can't help but notice nobody's posted the reprinted first appearance of Archie from Archie #1 (or originally Pep Comics #22)

Was this meant to illustrate the dangers of wanton inbreeding to kids? Why would he want to be called "Chick"?

A two second search tells me he was only called that in his first story and promptly dropped it. It's not the only thing that was changed sooner or later. Betty Cooper was more like Veronica than how she's portrayed now.

That said, for 1941 art, that's not terrible. Good sense of perspective, decent detailing, and good expressions. Archie Chick is pretty horrifying, though.

Ohh, now I get it. It's just that Storm and Emma's breasts and hips are much closer to us, while the rest of them are off in the distance. :v:

Given the sheer amount of Brian Bolland that will be in it? Good idea.

Reminds me of the earliest appearances of Hawkman, where the artist steadfastly refuses to allow his wings to fit into the panel. Any panel.

Well, this:

But a full-on stone age Bat-story would be pretty fun.
