Special Marvel Edition #4
In "Whom the Gods Would Destroy!", Thor's clash with Hercules takes a personal turn when their rivalry over Jane Foster escalates into a divine showdown. With Odin furious at Thor for revealing his identity, he strips half of Thor's powers and transfers them to the mortal Seidring—setting the stage for a battle that tests strength, pride, and the price of divine favor. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby, with inks by Vince Colletta and lettering by Artie Simek, the cover by Kirby and Colletta captures the epic tension of this 1972 clash.
