Special Marvel Edition #3

Thor bursts through a crumbling stone wall on this Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta cover, red cape flying as four portrait medallions — featuring a laughing bald figure, a regal bearded Odin-like elder, a helmeted warrior, and a snarling lion-faced villain — frame the God of Thunder in dynamic fashion. Billed as a "Double-Feature Special," this September 1971 reprint package pairs the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby creative team with the tantalizing story title "While a Universe Trembles!" — promising cosmic-scale stakes. At just 25 cents, it's a fine snapshot of Marvel's Asgardian adventures at their most ambitious.
