Ahhh, the 90′s.

From the same period that gave us the Hulk with a big gun and from writer who had the FF packing heat…..

…it’s Thor with a gun!

Remember kids, it doesn’t matter how mind-bogglingly powerful you are… guns make everything better!

    According to Jack Cross, guns make everyone stupid.

    Personally, I think the “No More Mr Nice God” comment is the topper!

    I like the Standard Beads of Testosterone Sweat ™. Because of course the Odinson, who routinely eats mythological monsters for breakfast, would be so totally overwhelmed, ‘Nam-grunt-style, by having to fire a machine gun.

    Maybe this is what you get when Frank Castle finds the hammer of Thor.

    I think it was federally mandated back then that everyone had to carry a piece, at some point, on some cover.

    But… you… can shoot… LIGHTNING!

  • Kamendae

    Was that *sweat*? I thought he’d sprouted warts or something…

  • Dierna

    Thor must have shopped at the same place Lobo and Castle get their weopons…

  • Who, me?

    I agree with Dave D. —-What villian is Thor going up against who can’t be stopped by lightning, but can be stopped by a bullet?

    I just found your blog for the very first time. IT’S THE FUNNIEST THING IN AGES! I can’t tell you how much I love it. I’m saving the whole thing to my hard disk

  • Dave D

    Who Me? – You know, if the villain were made out of glass, it *would* actually make some sort of sense.

    And I’ve now probably put more thought into that cover than the people responsible for it.

    Funky, awkward lookin’ gun, too!

  • Who, me?

    To Dave D.—-Yes! In this issue, the Mighty Thor faces his new and most terrifying foe…….GLASS-MAN. (The guy’s a real pane.)

  • Maker

    You know how Thor can do this divine-essence-blast thing? And it exhausts him equal to twelve consecutive orgasms? I guess he found a better release. xD

  • au

    maybe in NY he couldn’t get a licence for carrying a hammer?

    I seem to remember that when, in the Simonson era, Thor, Balder, the executioner and the heroes from Walhalla went to visit Hela, they took guns, too, with them.

    Thje executioner seemed, actually to enjoy himself while killing the hordes of Hel (who were death already, anyway!!) with Rambo machine-guns.

    Much as I love the Thor run by Simonson, maybe he’s the guilty one… I mean, hadn’t he brought firearms to Hel, maybe no-one would have gotten that cover idea afterwards.

    “so you can fly?”
    “yup”
    “you got super human strength?”
    “yup”
    “and you’re invulnerable?”
    “yuh huh”
    “why you using a gun then?”
    “makes my cock feel HUGE.”

  • Dale

    I remember this.

    This issue was from the period when Eric Masterson became Thor. The real Thor is a prisoner of Mephisto as a punishment for killing Loki.

    In this issue Eric finds a way of defeating an enemy by using a bloody big gun. However, he is told off by Sif and Balder for not acting in a noble way by using such a weapon. It was pointed out to him that the real Thor would not have used a gun.
