“Ulik Unleashed!”

In "Ulik Unleashed!", Thor finds himself in the bizarre world of The Ringmaster’s Circus of Crime, where the clash between hero and villain takes center stage. With Jack Kirby’s dynamic art and Stan Lee’s bold storytelling, this 1970 Marvel classic delivers a wild, high-stakes brawl that pits Thor against the monstrous Ulik—before he turns his might toward stopping the Ringmaster’s daring heist. The cover by Jack Kirby and John Verpoorten captures the chaos perfectly.
