About this Collection
This volume of the Marvel Masterworks series collects Journey into Mystery issues #111-120 and the 1965 Annual #1, continuing the epic saga of the Mighty Thor. These stories, written by Stan Lee with art by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta, see the Thunder God facing off against formidable foes like the Absorbing Man, the Destroyer, and the High Evolutionary, while deepening the Asgardian mythology. It also features the first appearance of the Eternals and key developments in the love triangle between Thor, Jane Foster, and Sif.
In "The Power of the Thunder God!", Thor ventures into Vietnam on a desperate quest for Loki’s Norn Stones, only to be felled by a mysterious hunter whose cruel hand is guided from afar by the trickster god. As the hunter stumbles upon a hidden temple, his mind merges with the ancient, dormant Destroyer—awakening a force of elemental fury that now turns on Thor in a battle that could end in annihilation. With Odin lost in his sacred Odinsleep and Loki trapped in the Dungeon of No Escape, the fate of Asgard hangs in the balance. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, inks by Vince Colletta, and lettering by Artie Simek, this Marvel Masterworks edition features cover art by Kirby and Colletta.
