After I joined up with Instant Press back in 2001, Rene wanted me to draw my own comic. He told me that I could do a back-up for his Dorks comic.
I am a big fan of mythology. Thor is my favorite god (no hate mail please, my religious friends) and one of my favorite comic book characters. Hence, I created THORK.
He was a regular Dork, working at a construction site, when he gets struck on the head by a hammer that has fallen out of the sky. When he holds the hammer high, he transforms into Thork. His construction belt becomes a belt of strength, his gloves turn to steel and his head sprouts wings.
Below is a one-page preview drawn by yours truly and inked by Rene Castellano. This was originally supposed to appear in Instant Press 2003, which was never officially published.
