Journey into Mystery #92

In "The Day Loki Stole Thor's Magic Hammer," Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a classic tale of myth and mischief, as Loki's cunning leads to a cosmic prank that upends Thor's power and forces the God of Thunder to rely on wit and courage. The story unfolds with a space pilot stranded on a strange planet where a single bite of fruit alters his form—turning him into one of the planet's grotesque, yet strangely empathetic, inhabitants, whose haunting psychic song makes him question whether survival means staying human. The cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers captures the eerie beauty of the alien world, while Ditko’s distinctive art and Stan Goldberg’s bold coloring bring the tale’s surreal tension to life.
