Garm

Garm is the monstrous hound of Norse mythology who guards the entrance to Hel in Marvel's Asgardian pantheon. This fearsome beast serves as a supernatural sentinel at the border between the living world and the realm of the dead.

Straight out of Marvel's Bronze Age mythological deep cuts, Garm made their debut in Thor Annual #5 (1976), brought to life by the legendary creative pairing of Steve Englehart and John Buscema. This creature of Norse legend has haunted Marvel's cosmic mythology for nearly four decades, sharing the page with titans of Asgard like Thor Odinson, Odin, Sif, and Volstagg — rarefied company that speaks to Garm's place at the heart of Marvel's mythic storytelling. Appearing across titles from The New Mutants to The Mighty Thor: The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill, Garm is one of those wonderfully atmospheric corners of the Marvel universe that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into the rich, saga-driven tradition of Asgardian adventure.
