I wonder what the Thor character was like in these.

Evan Lewis said...

weird is right...

Rick Robinson said...

... and who the hell was Typhon?

Evan Lewis said...

Good question. And what the heck is a "giant comicscope"?

I think "Typhon" has been optioned by the SyFy Channel - an apocalyptic tale of a typhoon borne typhus epidemic.

I don't recognize that "EP" (or is it "FP"?)in the shield logo. Who published these gems?

Art Scott

Evan Lewis said...

The publisher is the Fox Features Syndicate. I think the shield is actually the outline of a fox head, and the FP stands for Feature Publications

Go to this link http://thenostalgialeague.com/galleries/thor/thor.html

and look under the heading "The Comic Book Thor" to get an idea what the pre-Marvel character was like.

Thanks David! Except for the bare feet, he doesn't look a whole lot different from the Marvel guy.
