In this assignment, a comparative study is developed between the written
documents and files about the Norse gods and several comic books of the
five-page featurette Tales of Asgard inside the comic series “Thor” created
by the American publisher of comics Marvel Worldwide Inc. It is done
according to several specialised authors in both fields. This analysis includes
a study of Norse legends, focusing on their origins, characteristics, main
gods and its understanding of the world, and it also investigates the
modernization of these myths through comics by Marvel as a tool to put them
closer to younger generations. Moreover, the history of comics is briefly
explained to introduce the birth of Tales of Asgard and explain its role in the
comic series Thor, highlighting its main characteristics and genesis. In this
essay a study about how mythology and comics are strongly connected was
also made, having in mind the study of LoCicero (2007). Different versions
of mythologies converted into comics were studied in order to achieve a
better understanding when dealing with the analysis. Finally, this project
intends to, through this analysis and revision, bring to light the main
differences and similarities between both stories, the Norse legends, and the
Marvel comic series version, especially Tales of Asgard. [-]
