Thor #13

The cover of The Mighty Thor #13 poses a tantalizing question — "Who is Marnot?" — as a strained, crackling Thor braces against a surge of wild energy while an armored, gun-wielding figure looms ominously behind him. Surrounding the Thunder God are four imposing faces: a weathered, bearded elder, two menacing horned figures, and a stern, dark-marked visage that hints at the mysteries swirling around the story title, "The Work of Odin." Penciled by John Romita Jr. and inked by Klaus Janson, this 1999 Marvel issue crackles with that distinctive late-'90s dynamism that made the duo's run on Thor genuinely exciting.
