Thor #1
"Le réveil d'une menace" kicks off a gripping tale in Thor #1 (1983), a 10,000 FRF comic that sets a tense tone from the first page. Written by Gerry Conway and Doug Moench, with dynamic art by Paul Gulacy and inks by Al Milgrom, the story introduces Demmy Marston’s dangerous quest to claim a bounty on Shang-Chi, drawing in the deadly Korain the samurai. As Korain falls in battle, his body collapses under the strain of Fu Manchu’s elixir, and tragedy strikes when his sword claims the life of Marston’s girlfriend, Diana—setting a dark, personal stakes in motion. The cover by John Romita and Mike Esposito captures the moment’s intensity with sharp, classic flair.
