THOR BY WALTER SIMONSON VOL. 4 TPB
Written by WALTER SIMONSON
Penciled by WALTER SIMONSON & SAL BUSCEMA
Cover by WALTER SIMONSON

Few people have ever left their mark on one character quite the way Walter Simonson has. His work on the Mighty Thor swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and war, Simonson’s work is often considered the definitive Thor. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never the same. That is the mark of a true visionary. This fourth volume continues the collection of Simonson’s epic run, including the unforgettable Frog Thor storyline — completely remastered from the original artwork and newly colored by Steve Oliff! Collecting THOR (1966) #364-369 and #371-374. 240 PGS./Rated T …$29.99

  2. Yes, I'd love to see the DeMatteis/Zeck run in an Omnibus. As for that Falcon book, I did a double take on the Frank Miller cover.

  3. Why isn't Thor #370 included in the trade? Do you know? I hate it when they break up runs like that...
