It includes classic tales such as the first appearance of the High Evolutionary and the epic battle against the Absorbing Man, presented in black-and-white on newsprint paper as part of Marvel's Essential line.
In "A World Gone Mad!", Thor and the Absorbing Man clash once more, with Thor gaining the upper hand—until Loki intervenes, whisking Creel to Asgard to face Odin himself. Meanwhile, Thor rescues Jane Foster from a smoke-filled room, only for his secret identity to be exposed by reporter Harris Hobbs, who demands passage to Asgard in exchange for his silence. The issue, written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby with inks by Vince Colletta, features a cover by Kirby and Colletta, and marks a pivotal moment in the saga of Thor’s dual life.

Thor and Absorbing Man resume their battle from last issue. Thor gains the upper hand. Loki, fearful of Creel’s defeat, transports him to Asgard. Meanwhile, Thor rescues Jane Foster from a locked room filling with smoke. He transforms into Doctor Blake, but the transformation is witnessed by reporter Harris Hobbs who engineered the smoke-filled room scenario for the purpose of discovering Thor’s secret. Hobbs says he will destroy his evidence of Thor’s dual-identity if Thor will take him to Asgard. Meanwhile, in Asgard, Creel confronts Odin who blasts him with cosmic energy, which he absorbs!
