Grog

A creature of Asgardian myth forged in the Copper Age of Marvel Comics, Grog burst onto the scene in 1987's Thor #397 under the legendary creative partnership of Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz — a duo who knew how to make the Nine Realms feel genuinely epic. Counted among the Asgardian Gods and the storied Warriors Three, Grog keeps fierce company indeed, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Sif, Volstagg, and the Black Knight. Rare and elusive with only a handful of catalogued appearances spanning Thor and The Punisher Annual, Grog is exactly the kind of deep-cut Asgardian discovery that makes digging through late-'80s Marvel back issues such a rewarding adventure.
