मैं कॉलेज के दिनों में 'थोर' कॉमिक्स पढ़ा करता था। मैंने स्टेन ली और जैक किर्बी की लिखी कहानियां पढ़ी थीं। मुझे वे बहुत पसंद थीं। मैं बचपन से ही नॉर्डिक पौराणिक कथाओं का शौकीन था और यह पाकर बेहद रोमांचित था कि एक कॉमिक्स इन कथाओं पर आधारित है—भले ही इसमें एकदम सटीक मेल न हो, पर इसकी कोई वजह भी नहीं थी कि ऐसा हो। मुझे यह पाकर बहुत खुशी हुई, और मुझे इस बात से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ा कि यह हूबहू पुरानी पौराणिक कथा जैसी नहीं थी। एक तो यह कि कॉमिक्स में थोर के बाल लाल नहीं थे। मुझे इससे कोई परेशानी नहीं थी।
I had been a reader of THOR in college. I had read the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby stuff. I had loved it. I had been a Norse mythology fan since I was a kid and was thrilled to discover a comic that was kind of based on Norse mythology-there's not a one-to-one correspondence, but there's no reason there should be. I was delighted to find it, and I didn't care that it wasn't exactly the myth. For one thing, Thor didn't have red hair in the comics. I was fine with that.
