Never mind. ;D (And I think the Jonh Buscema influence was showing up more from the DeZuniga side of things. When Tony did Marvel, he did a really good JB impression. Just check out his Doc Savage!) Oh, and thanks for posting this in the Simonson Appreciation facebook group, lilbaggie!<BR/><BR/>Allan, I'll be covering that Simonson Thor annual in the near future. Thanks for the reminder! That one was a really good preview of what Simonson would do when he took over in the 80s...<BR/><BR/>And you're welcome, Valentin!The Groovy Agenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466541479854942040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-37120084833805750822009-04-03T18:06:00.000-04:002009-04-03T18:06:00.000-04:00nobody did Thor as good as Vinnie thoughnobody did Thor as good as Vinnie thoughAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-34087614573314711072009-04-03T16:12:00.000-04:002009-04-03T16:12:00.000-04:00Thank you for this post.

Much in the...Yes, DeZuniga could be heavy at times. Much in the way Rudy Nebres was drowning Gil Kane with his inks on John Carter, DeZuniga was obscuring John Buscema for awhile there. I was buying Thor at this time and remember being frustrated by DeZuniga because it was Big John B. that I wanted to see!<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, in these layouts, I see a lot of Buscema influence, even though his name is nowhere in the credits.
