Vince Colletta had a long run of inking Kirby’s Thor, but in his rush to finish an assignment he would sometimes cut corners. Which he didn’t apparently do on this interior splash page.

Bill Everett inked some issues of Thor. This page makes for a good comparison.


I far prefer the Colletta page although Everett does a masterful job. Note Everett’s straight lines on the fingers, Vince would never have done that, instead, showing the intricate workings of bone, muscle and skin. If cartoons are your preference, choose the Everett image. If realististic art is more to your liking, it’s Colletta every time.
