DC's Thor!

And now comics on the stands in April of 1942, just in time for Christmas (well ours, I'm unlikely to find a Christmas-related panel in the middle of what was Spring). But maybe we can still party...

From Sandman: "The Villain from Valhalla!" by Jack Kirby, Adventure Comics #75 (June 1942)

Decades before Kirby co-created Marvel's version of Thor, he created one for DC! After he took over the Sandman strip, things went from noir crime stuff to the stuff of dreams... Well, in this case, Thor is a bad guy, dropping from the sky with his Vikings, from his flying drakkar. And he's proven a fake by our heroes Sandman and Sandy.

But what goes around comes around, and here he sounds like the Thor from one of those What If? episodes on Disney+!
