“The Well at the Edge of the World!”

In "The Well at the Edge of the World!", Thor and the Warriors Three clash with the sorceress Satrina and the warrior Kartag—only to find common ground in the face of a greater threat. As Mangog lays waste to Asgard, Thor teams up with his unlikely ally Kartag to stand against the beast, while Odin’s desperate bid to save their realm leaves him near death. With John Buscema’s dynamic art and Gerry Conway’s bold storytelling, this 1972 classic delivers high-stakes drama and mythic weight, all capped by John Romita’s striking cover.
