Happy birthday to comics legend Walt Simonson @walter.simonson.5 — has anyone ever had a better command of the comics medium? (Don’t answer that, it’s the dude’s birthday.) if you grew up on Simonson’s Thor, you witnessed one of the great runs in comics history, periodt. Here’s some great stuff: * Two spreads from his adaptation of Alien (with Archie Goodwin, also the beginning of his longtime partnership with lettered and Heavy Metal art director John Workman) which ran in black and white in our May and June 1979 issues * A Star Wars splash * Battlestar Galactica covers * Metal Men covers * Thor covers * A Thor splash * Splash from X-Men/Teen Titans (think he ever read any Druillet?) * Terminator and Robocop * covers from his much more recent Ragnarok series Cheers Walt... give our best to Weezie. . #waltsimonson #alien #thor #metalmen #xmen #teentitans #starwars #battlestargalactica #ragnarok https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpsEG5l3H2/?igshid=18r8zt8qg6m5g
