DESCRIPTION
Kirby cover/art; Ditko art; 1st full app. Odin; 1st app. of Zarrko, the Tomorrow ManIn one of Thor’s earliest adventures, the Thunder God gets to experience one of the early Marvel Age’s favorite devices, the trusty old time travel adventure. By appealing to fans of fantasy, mythology, and science fiction, as well as superhero devotees, Stan Lee pretty much had all of his bases covered. Adorned with the typically florid prose Lee employed in Thor’s tales, Jack Kirby steps up to match the tone with a more hyperreal approach than previously flowed from his talented hands, which helped to expand the King’s appeal and legacy. Battling the sinister megalomaniac Zarkko, who is hellbent on bringing war back to his peaceful future world, Thor travels 300 years into the future to defeat the Tomorrow Man and thwart his plans to unleash a Cobalt bomb on his society. These early Asgardian issues set the stage for the son of Odin to join the ranks of Marvel’s elite, and he remains a popular hero in the modern era.
Artists Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
