Oklahomans excited as 'Thor' tops comic charts

The first and second issues of the title sold out at the distributor level, according to a release from Marvel. Marvel is reprinting these issues for fans who missed out the first time around.

Kevin Stark, curator of the Toy & Action Figure Museum, 111 S Chickasaw in Pauls Valley, said he’s not surprised Oklahoma’s adopted superhero is doing well.

“We had a whole stack of them that sold quickly,” Stark said. “It’s a very well-written and well-drawn comic book. Since we have a display on ‘Thor,’ that makes it even better.”
