DeFalco/Frenz Retrospective: Thor #425



Writer: Tom DeFalco
Penciler: Ron Frenz 

Synopsis: Thor and Eric reunite to fight Ymir and Surtur. 

Comments: To the uninitiated, this cover might seem like an homage to Crisis on Infinite Earth #7 with Superman holding Supergirl on the cover, but it's actually an homage to Thor #127.  Eric holding Thor must be an example of artistic license, since Thor's weight is usually officially given at 640 pounds (290kg). 




I thought the look of understanding Nobilus and Thor give each other might have been taken from somewhere, but I can't quite place it. 


Thor and Eric fuse once more. 





Thor pulling on the Odinsword hilt is taken from Thor #127, the same comic this issue's cover homages. 




The Odin standing triumphant before Asgard is take from the final page of Thor #157.
