The Art of the Mighty Thor

The third volume in the Bullpen Books series, this oversized hardcover edition is a stunning collection of iconic covers and original art, reproduced from Marvel's archival scans, alongside a new essay, commentary, and a new introduction by Walter Simonson. Since his debut in 1962, Thor has remained a key character in the Marvel Universe. The Art of The Mighty Thor focuses on the work of two of Thor's most celebrated and influential illustrators: the legendary Jack 'King' Kirby and the inimitable Walter Simonson. It includes two complete stories from Kirby's definitive run - Thor Annual #2 and Thor #134 - and four complete stories from Simonson's run - Thor #337 (the first appearance of fan-favourite character Beta Ray Bill), Thor #338, Thor #339, and Thor #340. Dark Horse's Bullpen Books series showcases characters and creators integral to Marvel Comics history. This volume follows the previous two Bullpen titles, The Art of the Amazing Spider-Man and The Art of the Fantastic Four.
