☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects Thor issues #169-195 and the Avengers #74, continuing the God of Thunder's adventures through the late Silver Age and into the early Bronze Age. It features classic storylines by writer Stan Lee and artists including John Buscema and Jack Kirby, with Thor facing foes like the Mangog, the Destroyer, and the Colonizers of Rigel. Presented in Marvel's black-and-white Essential format, this is an affordable way to experience a key era of Asgardian lore.
In "The Thunder God and the Troll!", Thor clashes with the seemingly unstoppable Destroyer, unaware that the machine is powered by Sif’s fading life force. As Odin intervenes to restore Thor’s full might, chaos erupts elsewhere when Ulik and a troll army assault Karnilla’s castle—prompting her to free Balder from her control. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby, with inks by Vince Colletta and lettering by Sam Rosen, this Essential Thor issue delivers mythic stakes and classic Marvel grandeur. The cover, also by Kirby with Colletta’s inks, captures the epic scale of the battle.
