The Thor series is pitting Doctor Doom and Loki against the god of thunder and the artwork of the Thor series is awesome.
Thor the god of thunder
The artwork on issue #604 is done by Billy Tan Mung Khoy, or as he is called in the comic book industry, Billy Tan. He immigrated to the United States in 1989 from Malaysia to study business at the University of Kentucky. Well, he is doing a lot of “business” these days but mostly it’s the business of selling his artwork in the form of comic books such as X-Men and the Avengers.
His artwork on the Thor series reminds us of the dark graphic art that Frank Miller has made famous. The scenes of Thor and the images of Doctor Doom are great pieces of work.
Billy Tan first began working as a penciler for a comic book company in the 1990’s called Image Comics, which is best known for creating dark comics like Spawn, and he became an artist for Marvel Comics in 2006 with his work being featured in the X-Men.
Billy’s success continued with work on the New Avengers Secret invasion in issues number 41, and 43 through 44. He was then invited to take the spot of Lenil Francis Yu and stay aboard the title’s team.
His work on Thor continues in issues 604 through issue 609 and you can visit his most recent work including Thor at his official website located here.
The image on the right is just a scene of part of the artwork that the Thor series is being shown in these days.
