Maybe because my Grandparents came from Sweden, I always loved Norse mythology. So I was a big fan of Thor and everything Asgardian. Here, Jazzy John Buscema, assisted by the fantastic Frank Giacoia, does a masterful job depicting the God of Thunder fighting off the hordes of Pluto alongside Hela, Goddess of Death. I love all the little details Buscema put in this cover--The menacing Trolls with their wicked weaponry, the penultimate scene of Hela battling Pluto, and the Viking long ships in the background. Pure Marvel Mastery.

Maybe because Thor is my favorite Super God - or maybe because the scene set up by John B is so well done - this is my favorite cover that you have posted so far! Love it!

I need to get a Thor cover. He's such a great character & his covers are usually dynamically appeasing!

Buscema Thor is always a treat. His run on Thor for me, was the definitive version of the character, and even though i love the Simonson run, Buscema draws Thor like no oher.
