“The Origin Of Sore, Son Of Shmodin” is an 8-page Kirby story from\u00a0NOT BRAND ECHH #3 [1967], inked by Frank Giacoia. NBE was Marvel’s short-lived series mostly dedicated to self-parody of other comics, and Kirby drew five stories for it, looking at the various characters he was working on like The Silver Surfer and The Fantastic Four, plus “original” character Forbush Man.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This target of the issue this time is of course Thor. \u00a0Some pretty ridiculous things, like “Sore” having a chicken on top of his helmet, and his hammer being of the claw variety.<\/p>\n

Of minor note, the term “kirbyesque” is used to describe one of “Hokey’s” guns, which might be the earliest published use of the term.<\/p>\n

I really like how Giacoia’s inks look on this story. He inked Kirby a few times over the years, and always looks great, would have liked to see him do some more regular Thor than he did.<\/p>\n
