And it sports new coloring by Steve Oliff's Olyoptics!
Check em out:
Pretty! While I still prefer the lovely ORIGINAL coloring (and paper!), this new coloring by Olyoptics looks nice... although I would personally prefer less saturation. But they are a big improvement from the previous recoloring, seen in the Walt Simonson Trade Paperback editions:LEFT SIDE = Original
RIGHT SIDE = Previous re-coloring
RIGHT SIDE = Previous re-coloring

Holy Smakarel!!!
Awesome!
Why are two issues missing?
Those 2 issues were fill-in issues by a different writer & artist, and (if memory serves) were not part of the overall story Walt Simonson was telling.
Hey Jim, thanks for the tip of the hat. Love the blog!
Thor #355 was a stand-alone, fill-in by Bob Layton (while Walt was on vacation) starring Hercules. And Thor #370 was also a stand-alone fill-in by Jim "Priest" Owsley and the late great John Buscema that pitted Thor against Loki in the Wild West.
