JACK KIRBY DOES JOHN BUSCEMA A FAVOR

Just before leaving Marvel to work exclusively for DC, Kirby had Surtur burn down Asgard making it possible for John Buscema to design his own Realm Eternal when he took over the art chores on THOR.

The caption gives the impression that Lee did not mention an Asgard Sky Ship in the plot that he supplied Kirby with.

This splash page is from December 1964. The movie THE LONG SHIPS was released 8 months earlier.

Have you met Thor's trio of good-looking grandaughters?

How many of their inherited weapons do you recognize?

By THOR #135 the lead strip had changed from mythology to Sci-fi.

Fortunately you could still rely on Tales of Asgard for a satisfying Dragon battle.

ARE YOU THOR FAN ENOUGH TO WEAR THIS?
