THOR BY WALTER SIMONSON VOL. 4 TPB

Written by WALTER SIMONSON

Few people have ever left their mark on one character quite the way Walter Simonson has.

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
