Coletta was a nightmare on Thor but I kind of like his rushed work on these.

Well, see, here we do disagree. I know that technically Coletta destroyed some of Kirby's detail when he inked him, but for mine he gave 'Thor' and "Tales of Asgard' a particular look that made it stand out from the other marvel Kirby books and for me it worked. I wouldn't have liked to see him as a a regular inker on FF or X-man or Cap tho.
Romance Books were his forte. 
My award for most  disastrous  inking job in comic history goes to the X-men issue introducing the Juggernaut, that Kirby sketched, Alex Toth inked and then Colletta inked over the top of that.
You wouldn't think he could remove every trace of Alex Toth from an artwork, but he managed it.

Cheers!
