“Inferno!”

In "Inferno!", Loki seizes control of Asgard, trapping Thor and the Warriors Three while declaring his intentions to marry Sif. With Balder’s help, the heroes break free and race to stop Loki—and face the sudden arrival of the fiery Surtur, who lays waste to the realm. Stan Lee’s story, illustrated with thunderous energy by Jack Kirby and inked by Vince Colletta, sees Asgard’s defenders rally as the skies burn. The cover by Jack Kirby and Bill Everett captures the chaos in bold, dynamic strokes.
