The Mighty Thor #2

Jan 1978 · Yaffa / Page · 0.50 AUD
“On the Trail of the Tomorrow Man!”

In "On the Trail of the Tomorrow Man!", Thor faces a chilling threat not from a god or monster, but from a Soviet spy manipulating American factory workers through sabotage and fear. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, this 1978 issue delivers a uniquely paranoid twist as the machines—“Made in America”—awaken with a will of their own to protect their home. The cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers captures the moment’s tension, a striking visual that perfectly frames the story’s blend of Cold War unease and mechanical rebellion.

A Soviet spy attempts to get American factory workers to strike by acts of sabotage and by convincing them that working conditions are unsafe. He doesn't reckon with the machines, which are "Made in America", coming to life with a mind of their own and taking matters in their own hands in order to deal with him.
