Thor Pinup

Here’s yet another pinup I’ve done to send along with my art dealer up to the New York Comic Con in a few weeks.  This piece is based on a panel from Thor #337, the first Walter Simonson issue.  Simonson’s run on Thor was one of my absolute favorite series when I was a young comics-reading kid in the ’80s–and, unlike a lot of the stuff I liked back then, it actually ages pretty well.  It’s still a great read.

    But what the people really want is Beta Ray Bill!

    Yeah, my original plan was a pinup with both, but I got lazy (and I wasted a bunch of time re-reading bits of the story instead of actually drawing).

    These are so awesome. Dibs on printing the collection.

    Thanks, Chris! I might put together a mini of my Marvel pinups and gag panels at some point. I actually tracked down and pestered the Marvel editor in charge of the upcoming Marvel Indie Anthology and tried to pitch him a Razorback story… but, alas, no dice.
