The Art Of Marvel Studios Thor

When Marvel Comics created its own movie franchise under the Marvel Studios banner it was taking a huge risk.

Its first film: Iron Man, proved to be a huge hit and so set in motion the new Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Other characters from Marvel Comics soon had their own films. Thor being one of them.

Casting for The God of Thunder was challenging but Chris Hemsworth proved the perfect choice along with the other cast members who played other Norse Gods and Thor’s human companions.

Amazing sets, costumes and special visual effects made Thor a hugely successful film.

In Titan Books’ Marvel Studios The Infinity Saga The Art Of Marvel Studios Thor readers are shown just what it took to translate Thor’s Asgardian adventures to the Silver Screen.

The name Jack Kirby is well-known by comic book collectors. He, along with writer Stan Lee created the world of Thor.

Stan’s over-the-top writing and Jack’s incredible costume and character designs, epic battles, sinister creatures, characters and villains and breath-taking settings proved to be a real challenge to translate to a movie.

But Marvel Studios accomplished it magnificently!

In the book complete character, set and costume designs are showcased along with spotlights of the key characters and their transition from comics to movie screens, impressive special effects and a killer soundtrack are given their well-deserved spotlights.

The deluxe hardback book, complete with a dust cover in full color with spot varnish, showcases the full color art, photos, sketches and fascinating text wrapped up in the book.
