Well this was a delightful trip down memory lane. I last read these issue in black and white format in the old Marvel UK reprints when I was a kid. It was a lot of fun revisiting them, lo, these thirty-odd years later and in colour no less!
Through these weary semi-functional adult eyes I see these tales aren't quite the epics I remember them being but some of the impact is probably lost because I read this whole book in three days rather than having the stories chopped up into five page chunks and drip fed over a period of many, many weeks. They're still a lot of fun, though, and definitely some of the best work Marvel were putting out during the 1970s.
The artwork, mainly by Big John Buscema but with a couple of issues by his kid brother Sal, was great. The only fly in the artwork ointment was the fill-in issue by Rich Butler, who was still desperately trying to be Jack Kirby at this point.
Highly recommended to Thorophiles everywhere, by Odin
My next book: Something to Stem the Diminishing

Marvel's Thor is not your classic Norse God of Thunder but he is definitely a heroic kinda guy. I think I enjoy his various cast of characters as much as I do the main character. The Warriors Three are always good for a laugh. Nice collection of these classic stories. Recommended

Another timeless classic from big John Buscema. Great stories. Great art. Perfection.

A great run of Thor stories! While not perfect it is still a solid example of what reading funny books can (and probably should) be. A real hoot!
