Lillehammer - An Ideal Getaway
by Deirdre Frost   In so many ways, Lillehammer is a favorite destination for Norwegians and for those with a passion for outdoor sports. Popular with tourists is the exhilarating luge ride down the Olympic-grade toboggan track. Other exciting activities are visiting the ski jumping arena or bobsledding and cross-country skiing in the Olympic Park. The Olympics torch bearer is visible from the…

I just got a second work email reminder that we’re doing a “Super Bowl party” at work tomorrow and to be sure to wear your favorite team’s jersey!
I need a shirt with Brian Boitano on it to wear for these sports days at work since the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics were the only time I ever really cared about sports of any kind.
(I literally have no idea who is in the Super Bowl and that’s just the way I like it)

Tom was named after Brazilian musician Tom Jobim, one of the writers of the song "The Girl from Ipanema" (along with Vinicius de Moraes, the namesake of Olympic mascot Vinicius). Vinicius's design represents Brazilian wildlife, combining "the agility of cats, sway of monkeys and grace of birds." The character's arms and legs can stretch unlimited distances. Vinicius's mission is "to spread joy throughout the world and celebrate the friendship that flourishes between people from all over the world" at the Olympic Games.
Sondre is based on the trolls depicted in Scandinavian folklore. The one-legged skiing troll was created as a result of a nationwide competition among schools, with the winning design handed in by Janne Solem. In a separate competition, the name “Sondre” was chosen for the Paralympic mascot as a reference to Sondre Norheim, one of the pioneers of modern skiing.
Sumi was the mascot for the 2010 Winter Paralympics. He is an animal guardian spirit with the wings of the mythical Thunderbird and legs of an American black bear who wears a killer whale-like hat in the artistic style of the Haida people.

I've got this double size treasury comic called Spider-Man vs The Hulk at the Winter Olympics. It came out December 1979 in time for the 1980 Olympic Games in Lake Placid in upstate New York.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's barely a story and very much a cash-in because the Olympics where in the USA that year. Still, I do enjoy Olympic athletes getting super weapons and forced to do evil.
Tumblr media
This is back when Winter and Summer Olympics happened in the same year. 1994's Lillehammer games were the first to not be the same year as summer games. For now it's still 1980 and that means we've got a Summer Olympics comic to promote!
Tumblr media
Except those summer games were held in Moscow and the USA lead a boycott where 66 countries no-showed the event. I love when there's an ad promoting a book that never comes out. Okay, so we'll delay to 1984 when it's in Los Angeles... lol no the USSR will boycott that. So before we let that ruin our major promotion we'll redraw/rewrite enough of the story to turn in into Contest of Champions!
Tumblr media
Editor Tom Defalco claims the main reason the book ended up getting published at all was inker Pablo Marcos wasn't told to stop inking the pages and the book was half done before anyone else noticed.
