A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth."

Good lord, that's a lot of hard work he had to put into those illustrations even though it wasn't even featured in the film.

It's amazing how one panel of Kirby looks (for all its anatomical flaws lol) better than 90% of the stuff seen on this website or any other modern comic.

Nobody since him has expressed dynamic action and godly power in a static visual form as well as he did. Truly the King.
