066 - Thor by Walt Simonson

If we’ve learned anything from this show, the best way to make a cool Thor comic is to take a non-human character and put Thor clothes on it. It worked with Frog Thor and it totally works with Beta Ray Bill. We read his 1st appearance at the beginning of Walt Simonson’s classic run from the mid 80s in issues 337-343. Thor also fights a dragon and changes his secret identity situation from unnecessary to still unnecessary. Next Time: Kingdom Come
