Special Marvel Edition #2

This 1971 Marvel double-feature special puts the Mighty Thor front and center, hammer raised and one hand thrust forward in a commanding pose that fills the cover with raw Asgardian energy. Sal Buscema's cover art surrounds the Thunder God with a full rogues' gallery of trouble — the rocky form of the Thing crashes through a wall in the background, a menacing stone-gray brute swings a ball and chain at left, and the glowering face of the Absorbing Man looms in the corner, promising serious conflict ahead. Reprinting Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's "With My Hammer in Hand...!", this is a wonderfully packed package for any fan of Marvel's mighty mythological hero.
