Marvel Spectacular #18

This October 1975 reprint showcase puts Thor squarely on the ropes, with Loki looming over a staggered Thunder-God and declaring victory in a bold cover speech bubble — all while the towering, horned figure of Odin dominates the stormy background above a city skyline. Jack Kirby's pencils and Vince Colletta's inks give the confrontation a raw, kinetic energy that makes "The Wrath of Odin!" feel genuinely urgent. Stan Lee and Kirby's Asgardian mythology is on full display here, and at just 25 cents it's a wonderfully compact package of brother-versus-brother tension.
