In "The Thrill of the Hunt!", Thor and Loki are sent by Odin to face a trial in the treacherous realm of Skornheim, where their true natures will be tested. While Thor pushes forward through the land's deadly challenges using only his strength and resolve, Loki attempts to cheat the trial with magic—defying his father's command. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, inks by Vince Colletta, and lettering by Artie Simek, this 1970 Marvel Tales issue features a striking cover by Marie Severin, with inks by Sam Grainger and Joe Sinnott.
