Journey into Mystery #109

In "When Magneto Strikes!", the master of magnetism unleashes his powers in the city, drawing the attention of Thor in a clash that sends them soaring aboard Magneto’s submerged vessel. As the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants scours the city for the X-Men, the battle rages between god and mutant—until Magneto escapes in his craft, pursued by the X-Men’s sub, while Thor returns to Don Blake and shares a quiet moment with Jane Foster, sipping milk and enjoying her homemade snack. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby, with Chic Stone’s inks and Stan Goldberg’s colors bringing the action to life, this 1964 Marvel classic features a pivotal moment in the evolving rivalry between Thor and Magneto, with cover art by Kirby and Stone capturing the intensity of the clash.
