The very first comic Erik has ever worked on for Marvel Comics was The Mighty Thor #385.  He was basically just filling in for ol' Jack Kirby, and he filled them shoes mighty fine.  It was a pretty good issue, even with the primitive coloring and harsh inks.  Erik is once again coming back to this comic later this year.  Look for it soon!  In the meantime, here's the cover to Erik's first Marvel Comic.  It's not done by Erik himself, but if you get the comic, you'll see Erik's art inside!

 
 

LARSEN FACTS FOR THOR #385 *  Erik's name is spelled wrong on the inside credits (it's spelled "Eric"). *  This issue was a filler issue during Jack Kirby's run.  In Larsen's own words, "...was just filling in for ole' Jack there." *  Erik reused a scene that appeared in this issue in Savage Dragon #34.  The scene is of a character throwing a train onto their opponent. *  This issue was Erik Larsen's first work for Marvel Comics. *  The art isn't usual Larsen fare, it's modified a bit so that it runs more in tune with Jack Kirby's art.  Larsen is a chameleon when it comes to art styles, he perfectly tunes his style so that it meshes with others, without swiping or blatant copying from said artist.  Very few artists can pull this off, and Erik is one of them.

Here's the cover pencils to Thor #27.  Larsen's run starts on Thor #26, but that cover will be done by MIKE MIGNOLA.  This is the first Larsen drawn cover of the run.  To view a larger version, click on the image at the left.
