“--Battle with the Big Man!”

In Marvel Premiere #40, Thor faces off against a bizarre alien family of space-traveling hillbillies known as the Ding-a-Lings in a wild clash that brings chaos to Asgard. With Sal Buscema’s dynamic art and Joe Sinnott’s sharp inks bringing the action to life, the battle takes an unexpected turn when Sif intervenes—using Hostess Fruit Pies to distract the invaders. Al Milgrom’s playful cover captures the absurdity, making this a standout moment in the God of Thunder’s saga.
