Kirby cover, Ditko art; Thor vs ThorThe typically awesome cover art by Jack Kirby on this issue encases a tale concerning one Professor Zaxton and his duplication machine. As can be gleaned from the cover, Thor is duplicated by the ne'er-do-well scientist, and has to do battle with his doppleganger, as well as another duplicate, several airplanes, and eventually ends up with a reverse duplicate of the mad scientist, who is now sane and a good guy. The story features the reliable and unique pencils and inks of Marvel long-time mainstay Joe Sinnott, who gets his chance to draw multiple Thors in this action-packed issue.
Artists Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
Richard "Dick" Ayers was an American comic book artist and cartoonist best known for his work as one of the main inkers during the late-1950's and 1960's Silver Age of Comics, including some of the earliest issues of Marvel Comics' including Jack Kirby's The Fantastic Four. He is the signature penciler of Marvel's World War II comic Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, drawing it for a 10-year run, and he co-created Magazine Enterprises' 1950s Western-horror character the Ghost Rider, a version of which he would draw for Marvel in the 1960s. His career would span 7 decades until his death in 2014.
