Thor #167

In "This World Renounced!", Thor faces a dire trial when Odin banishes him to space—only to be called back when Loki injures Balder on Earth. With Odin’s blessing, Thor rushes to aid his brother, transforming into Dr. Blake to save him. But Loki’s deception runs deep, and as Blake is overpowered, Odin sees through the trickery. When Loki is forced to take Thor’s place in exile, the consequences of his cowardice are laid bare. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Vince Colletta and lettering by Artie Simek, this pivotal issue features a cover by John Romita, who both pencils and inks the striking image of Thor’s fate hanging in the balance.
