13 BRILLIANT PAGES From SIMONSON’s RETURN OF BETA RAY BILL Artist’s Edition

EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: Yeah, this one’s nothing short of extraordinary.

UPDATED 9/2/17: Walt Simonson turns 71! If you missed this the first time around, check it out! If you didn’t, enjoy it again! Magnificent stuff!

IDW is publishing Walter Simonson’s The Mighty Thor: The Return of Beta Ray Bill Artist’s Edition on 6/28 — and it’s easily one of the best of these editions we’ve seen yet.

The 160-page hardcover, produced with Marvel’s blessing, includes six (!) complete issues of The Mighty Thor (#349-354) — and Simonson’s all-splash #380. Plus, all sorts of extras, including sketches and whatnot, all scanned from the original art.

BY ODIN’S BEARD!

It’s amazing stuff to see in the oversized 12″ x 17″ format. (List price? $125.)

I gotta tell you, picking 13 pages to show off here was no easy chore. It would have been so simple to do all the covers and splash pages. But I really wanted to show the intensity of Simonson’s storytelling, so I’ve made it a mix.

And, seriously, this is just scratching the surface, because this book is packed.

So here goes: 13 fantastic pages, presented in issue order (though I varied the order of the pages):
