If we are to present bombastic battles bursting with scintillating sound effects, we need go no farther than Walt Simonson and his rapturously riotous run on The Mighty Thor.
Case in point: Loki, lord of lies and god of evil, has managed to tap a great power source and transform the God of Thunder in an Asgardian amphibian, to wit: A FROG. However, much to Loki's chagrin, Thor the frog has regained Mjolnir, and has been transformed into THE FROG OF THUNDER!!
Fear not, Marvel minions, this will be no quick battle, as Loki's malevolent magicks are quite capable of sound effects of their own:
To no avail, however, as the transformed Odinson show why no one--NO ONE--may trifle with the Thunder, even in frog form:
Meanwhile, the valorous Volstagg has been questing for the source of Loki's new found power. And, in what was surely a well-planned attack, the Lion of Asgard destroys the engine of evil with the most cacophonous avalanche in history--and it all starts with a "splic!"
How will this effect the Asgardian anura?
All back to normal!! "Shkrrasspp!" indeed!!
Yet all evidence of Loki's perfidious plot is now destroyed!! How shall the newly restored Thor deal with his sinister step-brother? Why, by giving him exactly what he wants, of course!!
And lo, thus ends another of Loki's sinister schemes--not with a bang, but with a KCUNK!!
Even Spacebooger must tremble at the fury of the Frog of Thunder (although he surely won't admit it!!)
True believer, the amazing action you've seen (and heard) here is courtesy of Thor #366 (1986)--written, drawn, inked, and probably personally delivered to newsstands by Walt Simonson, master of onomatopoeia!!
