Marvel Spectacular #16

This 1975 reprint title brings Thor fans a gripping installment with the story "Abandoned on Earth!" — and Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta's cover sets the stakes immediately. A long-haired, red-shirted figure — Thor stripped of his godly trappings — stands powerless amid a chaotic urban scene, Mjolnir lying at his feet while foes close in around him, his anguished speech bubble crying out to Odin. The cover's bold question — "Can this be the end of the God of Thunder?" — paired with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's storytelling inside, makes this a satisfying slice of Marvel's Bronze Age thunder.
