☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects Thor's adventures from the late 1970s and early 1980s, featuring the God of Thunder facing off against classic foes like Ulik the Troll while exploring his relationships with Jane Foster and his father Odin. As part of Marvel's Essential line, it presents these stories in black and white on newsprint paper, offering an affordable way to experience a key era of Thor's Silver Age and Bronze Age tales.
In "Hercules Enraged!", Thor returns to Asgard to find his people paralyzed by an unexplained lethargy, leaving the realm vulnerable. With the help of the Vizier and Mimir, the guardian of the Well of Wisdom, Thor learns of an ancient prophecy tied to the Egyptian gods and a hidden pyramid in San Diego. Written by Roy Thomas and Bill Mantlo, with art by Sal Buscema and inks by Klaus Janson, this issue blends Norse myth with Egyptian legend in a tale that sees Thor confront Horus before Odin’s sudden, mysterious arrival—though the All-Father now believes himself to be Atum-Re. The cover by Gil Kane and Dan Adkins captures the epic clash with striking detail.

Returning to Asgard, Thor discovers his people suffering an odd lethargy, which leaves the Realm Eternal open to attack. Thor rouses his friends from their torpor and the Vizier summons Mimir, guardian of the Well of Wisdom, to learn Odin's whereabouts. Mimir relates a tale of the Egyptian Gods, imprisoned by Seth, God of Death, until the time Atum-Re, father of the Gods, returns to Earth. Learning of a giant pyramid in San Diego, Thor travels there and battles Horus until the fight is ended by the dramatic appearance of Odin, who however has been enchanted into believing that he is Atum-Re.
