I already made a Silver Age version of this pairing, but I wanted to do a Bronze Age version as well, so here it is. This is an example of artwork that has provided inspiration for more than one cover for me. I loved the issue of DC Comics Presents that this came from, as it introduced me to the Prince Gavyn Starman. I used the Starman image from that cover for my Batman/Starman B&B Lost Issue cover. Now, for this team-up, I put Thor in Starman's place. I did a lot of tweaking with the orange Kirby Dots as well, to make the cover work as a whole.

Excellent! Is this a Dick Giordano & Romeo Thanghal early 1980s? Lets hear some praise for the unsung art of the DC circa '81-'85!
Superman is by Jim Starlin.
Dave sez,
Very cool!
DC Comics Presents was a pretty cool book! Shame that it didn't last as long as The Brave and the Bold has. There were some pretty good team-ups there, though.
Great cover choice!
Who drew Thor?
Ron Frenz.
Now if Mongul had been teamed up with Thanos that would have been a hell of a fight.
This is cool. I actually did something similar with the same cover a few months ago. It's not perfect by any means though.
