For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the 1960s, under the hands of the inimitable creative team of Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and Larry Lieber, Marvel’s Thor combined the raw material of ancient Norse mythology with the nonstop action of super-heroic adventure comics and the speculative reach of classic science fiction. The result was a heady brew: epic, operatic, melodramatic, even psychedelic. This collection gathers some of the most important story arcs from the foundational years of the series and includes seminal early appearances of such characters as Hercules and Ego, the Living Planet, as well as Thor’s first encounter with Galactus!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition provides a detailed scholarly introduction, contextualizing Kirby’s work on Thor within his larger oeuvre, alongside a foreword by Rick Riordan, an extended critical apparatus by Charles Hatfield and Ben Saunders, and an appendix of additional material drawn from Kirby and Lee’s popular back‑up series “Tales of Asgard.”\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"001","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49743334998272,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8613\/2805\/files\/9780143138273.jpg?v=1789165069","url":"https:\/\/stmarkscomics.com\/products\/penguin-classics-marvel-collection-mighty-thor-tp","provider":"St. Mark's Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
