Loki was voiced by Len Carlson, who died two years ago. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0137965/ Carlson was also the voice of Ganon in the short-lived "Legend of Zelda" series 20 years ago -- which happen to be cartoons that my son and I have been getting laughs from recently on Netflix Watch Instantly. I don't think Lichtenstein "borrowed" (i.e., swiped) any Jack Kirby art. The man who would know is David Barsalou. http://www.flickr.com/photos/deconstructing-roy-lichtenstein/ I admit I haven’t seen the Venture Brothers.

Of course, Lichtenstein was just mashing up old Kirby-illustrated Marvel romance comics so I guess that's not really fair.... Does anyone else think that the voice of The Monarch from Venture Brothers is modelled after Loki's from this series?

The Hulk's theme has a quirky charm, with the made up word (aren't all words made up?) "glammeray." True, even the use of “breathless wonder” in the lyric can’t save this clunker of a theme.

Gee, Stan Lee sure put in plenty of "soap opera" elements in these stories! This is almost like a Norse God Romance Comic! What fun! Unfortunately, I think Thor's theme song is pretty bland and mediocre, especially when compared to the Captain America and Iron Man themes.
