Finally a Thorsday with Sal Buscema - again

It has been over nine years since my last post on Sal Buscema's excellent stint on THE MIGHTY THOR where he finished the much applauded run by Walter Simonson who was still writing the book so it's high time to return to these battlefields with Today's instalment for SAL BUSCEMA MONTH.

Now attentive blog visitors may have noticed that the THOR cover above was NOT drawn by Sal Buscema but rather by Walter Simonson and those with an extremely good memory might remember that I already used it .

Which are two reasons why I should not be using this cover. The reason why I decided to ignore my rules and use it anyways is that while Walter Simonson left the art to Sal Buscema because he was simply burned out he still did all of the covers EXCEPT the cover for issue 372 and I already used that one in my very first post for SAL BUSCEMA MONTH. And even if I would be so inclined to use the cover for issue 372 again that would be in my next posting which will include artwork from issues 371 and 372.

As our last post about this era of Thor history was more at the beginning Today we take a look at the end of Sal Buscema's tenure on THE MIGHTY THOR with some choice pages from issues 375, 376, 378, 379, 381 and 382 the final Thor issue by Sal Buscema. I don't think I am going to say too much about the story since I don't want to spoil it for anybody who has not read them even if these issues came out 38 years ago. What I am going to mention is that one reason for picking this particular story is to showcase the real Thor, Loki, Executioner and Hel - or at least Marvel Comics version of them - for all those readers out there who only know the bastardized versions from the Disney movies. Because Hel is Loki's daughter not Odin's daughter, Loki is the god of evil not just the god of mischief, the Valkyries are not Asgard's elite female warrior force and Thor does not make quips every five seconds and is a god not a demigod like Hercules. I don't know where these false facts come from but you hear everywhere that Thor is a demigod and that is not true. Thor is a full blown god. His father is Odin and his mother in norse mythology is the earth goddess Jordi while in the Marvel Comics it is either Odin's wife Frigga - which Stan Lee did make up - or the earth goddess Gaia.

Now Zachi Noy is pretty famous in Germany - at least for people from my generation for starring in the series of erotic comedies EIS AM STIEL ( Lemon Popsicle in english ) which were produced by Yoram Globus and Menahem Golan which had like a dozen or so sequels and not only did the movies contribute greatly to Cannon Films becoming an unstoppable force in the 80s they also gave german Busenwunder Sibylle Rauch a big career boost. She starred in a lot of erotic movies but the EIS AM STIEL movies were the most watched at that time. They follow a trio of friends on a quest to loose their virginity and as usual hijinks and breasts ensue.

Sibylle used her big popularity to further her film career and start as a singer ( this was when megabusty singers like italian all natural 40D - 24 - 36 pop sensation Sabrina " Bouncing Action " Salerno, polish 46F ( !!! ) - 23 - 33 adult model Danuta , italian 43D - 21 - 35 PLAYBOY nude model Angela Cavagna , italian 42D - 24 - 35 glamour model Fanny Cadeo, 46E ( !!! ) - 23 - 37 sex symbol extraordinaire Brigitte Nielsen or british 40D - 24 - 35 bra - buster and most famous page 3 girl in the entire world Samantha Fox became stars thanks to the dominance of music videos ).

She later became one of the most successful porn stars with one of the biggest german porn companies and her sales records breaking movie BORN TO LOVE guest starred british porn superstar Sarah Louise Young .

GEILE SCHWESTERN : SYLVIE & SIBYLLE, JETZT RAUCHTS ERST RECHT !

But Sibylle topped even the huge success of this megaseller with SISTERS IN LOVE where she co - starred with her younger sister Sylvie Rauch who had appeared in a few erotic movies before doing porn with her sister.

Sylvie also starred in a few solo skin flicks but her most successful film were the ones where she appeared alongside her sister Sibylle Rauch.

Speaking of Sibylle, she was the publisher - as well as the face and boobs - of the german HUSTLER magazine from 1992 till 1995. She did a lot of cocaine and I thought that she had died back in 1997 but apparently she survived her suicide attempt and is still working and appearing in films.
