In "This Fatal Fury!", Thor faces execution at the hands of the usurping Loki, who now rules Asgard with an iron grip. With the help of his transformed identity as Dr. Blake, Thor fights back, rescuing Sif and rallying the Warriors Three to awaken Odin from his long slumber. As the Odin-ring begins to weaken Loki, its power is reclaimed by Odin himself—only to send Loki away to World’s End, a fate that may not be as final as it seems. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Sal Buscema, with cover art by John Buscema and Frank Giacoia, this 1971 Marvel classic delivers high-stakes drama and mythic weight in a 20-cent comic.
