A PHOTOCOMIC OF CRONOS IS WORTH A BAZILLION POINTS

From the “Too Weird Not to Share” files: Over at Bazillion Points, Ian Christe has dug up a photocomic of Venom’s Cronos doing battle with Thor – yes, the Norse deity turned Marvel superhero – over Pantera. And by “Pantera,” I mean Thor’s wife. Not the metal band. ‘Cause I don’t think Norse gods care about Texas metal.
The comic comes from an ‘84 issue of Kerrang!. I can’t even imagine how people would react if, say, Randy Blythe tried to pull off some shit like this in 2009. Although now that I typed that, I’d love see him try. Especially if he wore the leather shorts.
Check out the rest of the comic here.

Norse Gods DO care about Texas Metal. Look at Absu!
Or wait, is that Sumerian Gods?
Real Viking dudes would have ground-up the band Pantera’s bones for their bread, and raped their vimmen.

Nothing says metal like a bullet belt and some leather hotpants.
That looks like Jon Mikl Thor from Canada. He rules!
“With apologies to: Stan Lee (Nuff Said!)”
Brilliant.
I’m an old bastard so I remember this. It was in Kerrang back when Kerrang had a Reader’s Wives section (someone should scan those). And I think with some easy photoshop you have this week’s caption comp for sure.
I actually waited for “Keep the Dogs Away” to be released back in the day in hopes of catching a glimpse of Pantera’s lovely cleavage in the cassette foldout sleeve.
