“The Power Principle Part 3 Emotion, Ego...and Empty Expectations!”

In "The Power Principle Part 3: Emotion, Ego...and Empty Expectations!", Thor faces off against a bizarre family of space-traveling hillbillies known as the Ding-a-Lings, who've invaded Asgard with chaotic intent. When the battle threatens to escalate, Sif steps in with an unexpected tactic—distracting the invaders with Hostess Fruit Pies. Sal Buscema's dynamic art, inked by Joe Sinnott, brings the clash of myth and absurdity to life, while Gil Kane's cover captures the wild energy of the intergalactic showdown.
