Abstract

Since the 19th century, it is well known that the Middle Ages have been used from different perspectives and with various objectives to configure and reconfigure the different imaginaries of Western culture. The purpose of this work is to deal with the use of the Middle Ages, specifically the Viking world, which has been made in some Marvel comics. To do this, we will focus on Thor series in Journey Into Mistery (1962-1963) and Tales of Asgard series (1963-1967), in order to observe, on the one hand, what treatment has been given to possible sources, and, on the other, to understand for what purpose they were elaborated and how they could be understood and interpreted by contemporary public.
