MARVEL SUPER HERO ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN ACROSS SPIDER-VERSE #1 $3.99

Ty Templeton writes and draws brilliant Sunday newspaper strip parodies for MSH ADVENTURES. This issue has a  spot-on Doonesbury/Thor entree

.For Malekith's first cover appearance Walt Simonson employs basic symbolism: big = threatening

"I did a lot of work in my run on Thor, such as the "Malekith the Accursed" story, that had some basis in and inspiration from Celtic fairy and folk tales. I read quite a bit when I was doing Thor-not only in Norse mythology, but about the Celtic fairy-faith and a lot of northern European folk stories, out of Britain, Scandinavia, Northern Europe. Great stuff and it was strongly related to the kind of feeling I wanted to give the book."
