THOR - SIMONSON

When Walt Simonson took over the reigns of THOR he plastered himself and sealed the deal that He and Kirby and Buscema would be the guys everyone thought of when you picture THOR...and he has a loose confident stroke to his style that is very appealing to the eye.

  1. This is a great cover, but... Issue #337 is my all time fave Simonson Thor cover. Unlike you, I was never really a big Thor fan growing up. Despite the great work Kirby and Buscema did on the book, I never got into the way the characters spoke. But Simonson took a character that I hated, and made him one of my favorites. I had the chance to tell him that a few years ago. He's a really nice guy as well as an awesome artist. If you haven't seen his adaptation of the movie "Alien" you gotta check it out. I almost like it better than the film, it's that good!
