Thor: Jane Foster Premium Art Print by Ian MacDonald

Sideshow is proud to unveil this all-new original art print inspired by Thor and her depiction in recent Marvel Comics story arcs! The character of Jane Foster has been around since the early 1960’s, but it is her recent re-birth as the Goddess Thor that has captured many fans imaginations, including ours!

Though the woman behind the mask of this new Thor remained something of a mystery for some time, the eventual reveal of her identity was both incredibly fitting and deeply moving for many long-standing fans of the character.

This new Premium Art Print was commissioned exclusively for Sideshow, and expertly painted by concept artist Ian MacDonald. It depicts that key moment in time as Jane Foster is chosen to be worthy of the mantle of the Goddess of Thunder, rising among the crackling lightning as the mystical inscription on the fabled hammer Mjolnir changes to reflect the gender of its new wielder!

In an interview with Vulture, Eisner Award nominated writer Jason Aaron said:

“I liked the idea of…what it means for a God to be worthy in the Marvel universe.

That opened the door for someone else to pick up the hammer …the only character that was discussed was Jane.

Jane’s been a part of Thor’s universe going back almost to the very beginning. She was the initial love interest for Donald Blake, who was Thor’s alter-ego. She was the nurse to his doctor. 

 She’s grown and changed and evolved a lot over the years…So this to me is not just the next step for her character, but really the next evolution of the core promise that has always been at the heart of Thor’s mythology.

That promise of transformation has always been a part of that hammer. 

Even though we’ve changed the person who’s holding the hammer, it’s very much a Thor story, a story that begins the next step for that promise of transformation”.
