Superman/Hal pull earth. Correction... By your logic it's an alternate mini earth.

Exitar is planet sized.

And by your logic Thor is the size of a large country.

Pre-crisis Billy pushes dead star. Oh wait... It was a star from a mini galaxy based on... Yes. You guessed it. Incontrovertible logic.

Should I continue?
For somebody as smart as you I'm surprised that the idea of artistic license used in a medium like this for crying out loud is beyond you.
😂
You can't argue the point so you did the same exact shit last time, you tried to deflect with red herrings that are far more clear cut and clearly ARE examples of lazy art (especially in the golden/silver age examples that you like to use), or misleading perspective.
Let's humor you and address them.
1. Supes and Hal are clearly far in front of the planet. At least a full planet length. The only possible art problem is the cable near Supes doesn't thin out properly with perspective. So a slight art error as far as perspective in an otherwise entirely clear and self-explanatory scene. They were just on the planet, and the rest of the league still are. So. lol.
2. Didn't read this story. If Exitar was truly planet sized and by your first scan he clearly seems to be, then that means Thor is actually thousands and thousands of miles away from Exitar's head. Artist just does a bad job with with showing perspective. Exitar's head should have been heavily blurred to show some depth of field or something.
3. There is nothing wrong with this. You can't even see Captain Marvel next to the star when its zoomed out to show the full thing in panel three. At best you see too much curvature in panel one, but that's a common problem with golden and silver age art. Lazy, low fidelity panels especially when it comes to celestial bodies. Hell its still common in newer art.
And too bad we know explicitly that its a Giant star. The biggest one he could find in that region of space. Of which he needed its size to save the alien planets that he just visited. Those same planets were of course normal sized planets, so obviously not a miniature galaxy he was on. 🙂
Unfortunately, there are more than one problem with your Thor/Bill scan.
1. Those demons are not Star sized at all. And yet we see them RIGHT NEXT to a Star as they are flying out of the portal. Hell some of them are behind the star as well. Hell, they are so close, and the star is so relatively small, that its yellow light only illuminates a smaller section of that mass.
2. We see Thor and Bill, and the rest of those human sized Demons, stand directly on that portal. They aren't light years away, or some other vague distance. Thor stands literally right on top of it, and he's barely any smaller than one of those four rectangular corners in the center.
3. Since its a mystical/esoteric related scene, and not a straight forward physical scene (e.g. dragging a planet or pushing a star), its arguable that the portal is mucking with reality to create the clearly messed up scale that the art shows in multiple ways.
It's also funny that whenever you post the feat you conveniently forget to also show said parts of the scene where Thor/Bill/Demons are standing right on top of the portal and it does not look big at all in a direct comparison.
Obviously that would affect your attempts to legitimize it because then it becomes too easily open to scrutiny and you can't present it as being as clear cut and uncontroversial a feat as you'd like it to be. It's disingenuous as hell on your part.
The only person who doesn't seem to understand artistic license is you. There's more nuance than what you present, and the nuances of your scans are not easily conflated with bad perspective or art errors, which is why you are trying to deflect with multiple red herring examples, all of which are more clear cut and easily explainable than yours.
