Thor
is a deity of Nordic sagheas. Odin's son, the god of Asgard, possesses the powerful
hammer Mjolnir, with whom he is able to control thunder and storm. Because of
its precise mythological references, Thor, within the Marvel universe, has always
been an unusual character with an epic tone who other heroes, more humane or
endowed with technology gadgets, did not have. His first adventures, made graphically
by Jack Kirby, are extraordinary for the inventiveness and variety of settings,
but after the abandonment of the great designer and later by John Buscema, the
character has known a period of oblivion, from which he is Was pulled out in 1983
by writer Walt Simonson. The latter was able to return to Thor, the great action
scenes, the great adventure who had characterized his first years of life, thanks
to a modern design, which overwhelmed not so much the normal American comics.
