Deodato, Mike – Thor #502 p.01 - Twin Towers Splash !

An absolutely spectacular Title & Credits Splash, a tie-in to the X-Men Onslaught saga! Not only does this piece offer you a very large, full figure Thor image facing off alongside Red Norvell, but they are both standing against a backdrop featuring Manhattan's Twin Towers, forevermore a symbol of American perseverance and hope. This splash was published 27 years ago, 5 years before those towers came down, so it it quite an eerie sight to see the two plumes of smoke drawn into the background. But as long as images of those towers exist in all forms of media like film, television, photography, illustration, etc, they will stand forever. Remember, they were not just physical objects where people went to work. Rather, and most importantly, they are a SYMBOL of freedom and of everything else that makes America  a great country. So as long as we have these images, those towers stand forever!
